Renew the contract with ValleyCrest
landscape maintenance services at the
other general park locations as needed
amount not to exceed $83,240.
Landscape Maintenance, Inc., for
Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park and
for a one-year period in the annual
DISCUSSION
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency is responsible for the
landscape maintenance at all City parks as well as the Santa Ana Zoo at
Prentice Park. The maintenance includes: mowing and edging of turf,
pruning and trimming of trees and shrubs, removal and control of weeds and
of plant diseases and pests, plant irrigation, and the maintenance and
repair of irrigation systems. Additionally, the agency is responsible for
the general maintenance and upkeep of the Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park as
a safe and attractive feature of the City.
On September 2, 2003, the City Council awarded a contract to ValleyCrest
Landscape Maintenance, Inc., for a two-year period, with provision for
three, one-year renewals. The vendor has performed satisfactorily during
the past contract period and has agreed to renew the contract without an
increase in pricing. Staff conducted a cost benefit analysis of utilizing
City staff to provide landscape maintenance services. ValleyCrest's
proposal continues to be more cost effective than providing the same
services in house. As a result, staff recommends the second renewal of
the contract.
