Agreements for Park Landscape Maintenance <br />June 18, 2007 <br />Page 2 <br />Proposals were received and opened on May 22, 2007. The four firms that <br />submitted proposals were Merchants Landscape and Maintenance, Master <br />Landscape, Midori Gardens and Vista Del Verde. Each proposal was <br />evaluated based on the vendor's capability and experience, past <br />performances, and cost of proposal. The evaluation results and annual <br />costs for each district are as follows: <br /> Score District 2 Cost District 4 Cost <br />Master Landscape 460 $419,604 $614,904 <br />Merchants Landscape 469 $314,549 $590,332 <br />Midori Gardens 244 $572,244 $1,018,332 <br />Vista Del Verde 327 $626,004 $1,699,452 <br />The proposals received from Merchants Landscape and Master Landscape were <br />most responsive to the specification and meet the City's requirements. <br />The City proposes to enter into a two-year agreement with Merchants <br />Landscape, with three one-year renewal options, for the maintenance of <br />District 2. The annual base contract cost is $314,549. An additional <br />$31,455 is included for unforeseen emergencies, resulting in a total <br />annual contract amount of $346,004. <br />In addition, the City proposes to enter into a two-year agreement with <br />Master Landscape, with three one-year renewal options, for the <br />maintenance of District 4. Master Landscape was selected due to their <br />business plan and resources available to perform in District 4 <br />specifically. The annual base contract cost is $614,904. An additional <br />$61,490 is included for unforeseen emergencies, resulting in a total <br />annual contract amount of $676,394. <br />These two agreements will replace the existing agreement with Midori <br />Gardens for maintaining parks in Maintenance Districts 2 and 4. By <br />replacing the single agreement with two agreements, the Parks, Recreation <br />and Community Services Agency believes the smaller maintenance areas will <br />be more manageable for the landscape contractors, which will result in <br />better quality landscape services. In addition, the new specification <br />requires the landscape contractors to hire a subcontractor that <br />specializes in infield maintenance, which will improve the quality of our <br />baseball infields. Both Merchants and Master will be utilizing Major <br />League Softball as their infield maintenance subcontractor. <br />25B-2 <br />
