HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/FIELD SERVICES DIVISION SUBJECT: CONTRACT AMENDMENT FOR LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE SERVICES FOR THE GENERAL FUND AREAS WITH LANCO LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT, INC. SUMMARY Approval of the third contract amendment with Lanco Landscape Management, Inc. provides for maintenance services for the existing lemon grove at Lemon Tree Park to be added to the existing contract. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the third amendment to the contract agreement between Lanco Landscape Management, Inc. and the City of Tustin for landscape maintenance services subject to City Attorney approval. FISCAL IMPACT Adequate funds are currently available in the 2002/2003 Fiscal Year budget to cover the cost of the proposed increase. DISCUSSION The City has contracted with Lanco Landscape Management, Inc. since July 1, 2000 for maintenance of all General Fund areas, including all center islands and specific City and Water Operations facilities. The original agreement was for a l-year period with three l-year extensions available to City. The second contract amendment extended the agreement until June 30, 2003. This contract amendment would add the maintenance services of the lemon grove area within the future Lemon Tree Park to the existing contract agreement. The contractor will be compensated for these additional services, an amount equal to $1,965 per month for the period from March 1, through June 30, 2003. The contractor's monthly compensation will be increased to $14,862.74 for the period from March 1, 2003 through June 30, 2003. The additional landscape maintenance services are the result of the expiration of the five-year Lemon Orchard Maintenance Agreement on September 1, 2003 with the Irvine Company. The maintenance of the Grove was considered part of the developer contributions to City Park improvements for tentative Tract Map No. 15380, Lot 27. Contract Amendment for Landscape Maintenance Services for the General Fund Areas with Lanco Landscape Management, Inc. February 18, 2003 Page 2 The City attempted to extend that Maintenance Agreement, but the Irvine Company did not want to maintain the lemon grove any longer. The grove area consists of approximately 8.1 acres and has over 800 lemon trees within the future Lemon Tree Park. The proposed amendment to the Agreement with Lanco Landscape Management, Inc., will provide basic landscape maintenance services that include: irrigation, fertilization, pruning, weeding, cleaning, pest and rodent control, and removal and disposal of fruits from the lemon trees area only. Lanco Landscape Management, Inc. has provided consistent service of a reasonably high quality over the last two years and has been very responsive in correcting any service that did not meet City standards. The additional grove maintenance services will have no effect on the contractor's ability to continue to provide the quality and responsiveness the City has received previously. Tim D.
