We are the current landscape contractor for District 1, with <br />ball field subcontractor Professional Sports Field Maintenance, Inc. We have taken the parks <br />from poor condition, to a level that is giving the City an opportunity to shine in the community. <br />The baseball fields are getting great praise from the Little Leagues, and the parks haven't <br />looked better. DMS takes tremendous pride in the job we do, and are looking to continue to <br />provide the City with great service. <br />Irrigator Catalino Sanchez has been the irrigation tech for the City over the past year, <br />and has almost 20 years experience as an irrigator. He Is continuing his education and is <br />currently studying to retake the CLT exam this summer. Jason Clemente - City's Water <br />Conservation Coordinator has met and watched Catalino work, and has complete confidence in <br />his ability to Improve the irrigation system in the parks. <br />The value of any new products or service suggestions or other new Ideas or <br />enhancements. Over the past year we have brought the City several things to help reduce costs, <br />while improving the parks. We introduce the City to the company AG Soil. They provide us with <br />the Santa Ana mulch at half the cost that contractors were paying at Aguanaga. On the water <br />conservation side, we have discussed improving water allocations during the cool season, and <br />replacing some of the older less efficient irrigation timers, so we can reduce water usage. <br />During our renovations we have gone to using a flail mower to take down the less appealing <br />grasses, and solid core deep tines for our aeration. Both of these help improve the renovation <br />process greatly. <br />Past Performances <br />During the past year we have had only 1 UP and that was the very first FTP we were <br />given. While accepting the FTP, 1 informed Mike Lopez that this would be the last one, and we <br />have performed to make sure it was. We believe that we have a job to do, and the City's <br />expectations must be exceeded. If you discuss our performance with the City inspectors, you <br />will hear that we are very committed to improving the parks, and take pride in our work. <br />Attached are 3 letters of recommendation for the council to review.
