TO: WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/FIELD SERVICES
SUBJECT: PARK MAINTENANCE CONTRACT FOR McFADDEN AND
SANTA CLARA PARKS
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin City Council, at their regular meeting of April 6, 1992 authorize staff
to prepare specifications and solicit bids for the annual landscape maintenance of
McFadden and Santa Clara Parks.
DISCUSSION:
The recent Arroyo Secco Associates' study recommended, among other things, that
consideration be given to maintaining the three small City parks under a
maintenance contract. The three parks considered were McFadden, Utt and Santa
Clara.
Since their recommendation was rendered Utt Park has been absorbed by the
acquisition of right-of-way by Cal Trans for the widening of Interstate 5.
Solicitation of maintenance contracts for these areas has been held in abeyance
pending annual maintenance contract bids for larger landscape contracts, i.e., Tustin
East and El Camino Real.
It is staffs opinion that bidding all similar contracts at the same time will give the
Citv the "benefit of scale" resulting in lower costs.
