DISCUSSION
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency is responsible for the routine maintenance

fountains), Plaza of the Sun, Sasscer Park, and the 2nd Street Mall fountain. The current
maintenance contract for this service has expired.
On August 24, 2011, Requests for Proposals (RFPs) were issued to companies soliciting
proposals from fountain maintenance vendors to service our Downtown and Civic Center
fountains. A pre-proposal conference was conducted on September 8, 2011 and three vendors
submitted proposals for consideration. California Waters, Knorr Systems, Inc. and Service 1St each
submitted proposals for review. A four member evaluation committee consisting of representatives
from PRCSA Administration, Park Services, and CDA evaluated and rated the four proposals.
The proposals were evaluated based on the vendor's Capability and Experience (25%), Past
Performance (25%), and Cost of Proposal (50%). The results of the evaluation process are as
follows.
