FROM:
SUBJECT:
HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER~
AWARD OF CONTRACTS - LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE AND
SERVICES
CUSTODIAL
RECOMMENDATION:
That the city Council approve an agreement with california Landscape
Maintenance, Inc. for landscape maintenance services and an agreement
with Pacific Building Care for custodial services. Both agreements are
for a two-year period.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The contract with California Landscape Maintenance, Inc. is $194,303.85
per year. The contract with Pacific Building Care is $122,376 per year.
The annualized savings to the city by using contract services in lieu of
additional staffing will be at least $247,000.
The projected savings of $247,000 per year is based upon a comparison of
the cost to provide prescribed levels of service by city personnel
versus private contractors. The savings is due to elimination of five
vacant positions and reduced operating expenses (the contractors will be
responsible for operating expenses, such as cleaning supplies,
fertilizers, weed control sprays, etc.). Additional savings could occur
in the future due to avoiding potential direct and indirect costs
(workers compensation, general liability, etc.).
The draft 1994-95 budget includes sufficient funds to cover the costs of
the contracts and will be adjusted to reflect savings in the appropriate
line item accounts. Of the projected $247,000 savings, $24,142 will be
credited to the Landscape and Lighting District which includes
landscaping within Tustin Ranch. The balance of the savings will be
reflected in the General Fund as a result of eliminating vacant
positions and reduced operating expenses.
BACKGROUND:
Due to fiscal constraints and in order to reduce operating costs thereby
generating additional income for capital projects, staff has been
reviewing opportunities for contracting certain City services. The
first step has been reviewing City services that can be contracted for
Award of Contracts - Landscape Maintenance and Custodial Services
July 28, 1994

without negatively affecting levels or quality of services. For a
number of years, the City has contracted for specialized services and to
supplement City personnel. Using contract services is cost-effective
where the City can avoid over-staffing due to variations in the
workload. Building inspection, plan checking, land use studies,
economic studies and engineering design services are examples of where
supplementing City staff through contract services is cost-effective.
The City also provides some maintenance services (street resurfacing,
street striping, sidewalk repairs, etc.) that can be obtained more cost-
effectively through contracts. Contracting for these services enables
the city to avoid capitalization costs and overstaffing because these
services are performed on a project rather than day-to-day basis.
Beginning in fiscal year 1993-94, the city reduced the number of city
tree crews from three to one. Most tree trimming is now done through a
contract service at a substantial savings to the city.
DISCUSSION:
In order for contract services to be successful, the type and level of
service to be provided must be clearly defined. The contract services
referred to above have been successful (both cost and level of service)
because the specifications for the services are well defined and the
contracts are administered appropriately. After carefully reviewing
what additional City services could be contracted for, it was determined
that landscape maintenance and custodial services present opportunities
to reduce costs and maintain or enhance levels of service.
In deciding that landscape maintenance and custodial services can be
obtained cost-effectively through contracts, the need to have City
personnel available for certain other services and emergency work was
kept in mind. Many of the services now provided by City Field Services
personnel should continue to be provided by in-house personnel because
of the nature of the work. It would either be cost-prohibitive or
negatively affect levels of service to contract for certain services.
Routine maintenance within public rights-of-way and parks maintenance
should continue to be performed by city crews because of the unique
nature of the work and to provide the flexibility to reassign crews
based on demand for service. For example, during heavy rainfall or
winds, it is necessary to have City personnel who can respond
immediately to emergency situations. Field Services crews also provide
specialized support services for special events (chili cook-off, Tiller
Days, etc.).

The recommendation to contract for landscape maintenance and custodial
services will result in:
Ail landscaped medians and parkways for which the City is
responsible will be maintained through contract service. This
would include all tree trimming within these areas.
Trees within city parks will be maintained by the City's
current contract tree service.
city parks will be maintained by existing City personnel.
City personnel currently assigned to median maintenance will
be reassigned to park maintenance crews. This will enable the
City to upgrade the level of park maintenance and takes into
account'the addition of the sports park and Columbus-Tustin
gymnasium grounds.
The Civic Center and Senior citizen Center grounds will be
maintained through the contract service.
Ail City buildings will be maintained through the contract
service. City personnel will continue to perform minor
repairs.
Four City custodians will be reassigned from the Field
Services Division to the Community Services Department. These
personnel will be responsible for set-up work for special
events and rentals at the Senior citizen Center, Community
Center and Columbus-Tustin gymnasium. Currently, part-time
personnel and regular personnel on an overtime basis are used.
By reassigning the custodians, it will be easier to schedule
and supervise personnel and provide a higher level of service
to the public. This approach will result in four part-time
positions (two of' which are currently filled) being
eliminated.
With the exception of two part-time custodians, no city personnel will
be laid off by converting to contract landscape maintenance and
custodial services. By reassigning personnel as described above,
services that currently are below desired standards can be upgraded.
And if experience shows that there is any overstaffing, positions can be
eliminated through attrition. The recommendation to contract for
landscape maintenance and custodial services takes into account and
balances the requirements for adequate levels of service, increased
scope of work due to new City facilities and the avoidance of added
direct and indirect costs.

Reference checks indicate that Pacific Building Care provides high
quality service and complies with its contractual obligations. Staff is
not recommending the low bid from Janitorial 2001, Inc. because of
issues that surfaced through the background checks.
Since 1991 city facilities requiring custodial services have increased
from 96,536 square feet to 156,699 square feet. This fall the Columbus-
Tustin gymnasium will be completed adding to the total. It is not
possible to adequately maintain City facilities without either adding
staff or contracting for custodial services. Contracting for custodial
services is more cost-effective and enables existing City personnel to
be reassigned to support services needed for facility rentals and
special events.
Over the past several years a significant amount of landscaped public
areas have been added in Tustin Ranch. Not including park sites, the
city is responsible for maintaining over three million square feet of
landscaped areas. These areas are highly labor intensive to maintain
because the City has made a choice to provide a greater quantity and
quality of landscaping than most communities. As with custodial
services, city personnel need to be added to handle the increased
landscape maintenance workload or contract services used. It is more
cost-effective to increase the use of contract service for landscape
maintenance and divert existing personnel to parks maintenance and other
special projects.
As the transition to contract services is made and City personnel
reassigned as described above, the impacts on levels of service will be
carefully monitored. If any adjustments are required in the future,
staff will return to the city Council with a report which discusses any
organizational or staffing level issues that need to be addressed.
Staff feels the recommendations set forth in this report are financially
viable, address issues concerning levels of landscape maintenance and
custodial services provided and are fair to City employees.
Copies of the agreements and specifications for landscape maintenance
and custodial services are attached.

POOL M3%INTENA/~CF. SCHEDULE
This attachment has been prepared to familiarize you with
the fountain systems, the individual mechanical and electrical
components, and the proper operation and maintenance of the
equipment. Proper and regular preventative maintenance is required
to ensure a trouble free system operation, and a continuing,
attractive water display. Ail equipment furnished and installed is
warranted to be free from defects in materials, workmanship and
operation for a period of one year from date of purchase. Failure
of components due to misuse or to the absence of required periodic
maintenance is not covered by this warranty. Should problems
develop with the installation requiring assistance, or advice not
included in this attachment, contact your installing contractor
listed on the final page of this attachment.
II. FOUNTAIN SYSTEMS
The water display installed consists of a Model WB-22S-A3
Waterbox~ submersible fountain system. The WaterboxTM is
essentially a sump unit containing the hydraulic equipment for the
fountain feature.
A. Dis la S stem. The decorative fountain system
consists of a single nozzle 1~" passing through the grate at the
top of the WaterboxTM. The feature is powered by the submersible
pu~p located in the sump. The control valve is located in side the
u/lit. (The handle of the valve must be removed after adjustment to
prevent rusting.)
B. Filter S stem. The filter system draws water from the
skimmer in the pool and the filter Pump intake in the sump unit.
After filtration, the water returns to'the pool through a discharge
fitting in the wall of the fountain.
C. Draina e S stem. The drainage system consists of two.
parts. A floor drain with a threaded plug is located in the
fountain ~loor and an overflow drain is located in the pool wall.
The Waterbox unit bas a drain with an ex~ended handle just below
the grate.
D. Water Auto Fill. A small mechanical auto fill unit is
located in the pool wall. The auto fill is activated by a float
valve.
III. FOUNTAIN ELECTRICAL CONTROLS
A. Time ~loc~. There is one time clock which control the
fountain filter system and the display system. This time clock is
a seven day, twenty-four hour clock with a skip-a-day feature.
IV. EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
Periodically turn off the fountain
grate covering the sump, and plump screens
Remove and clean as required.
system and check the
for debris build-up.
A. Fountain Controls. Periodically remove time clock
mechanism from case and lubricate motor. Check on/off trippers to
insure tightness. TURN OFF POW~K TO TIME CLOCK PRIOR TO
MAINTENANCE OR SERVICING TO PREVENT SHOCK HAZARD.
Test all of the Ground Fault Interrupters.
B. Filter system. FILTER SYSTEM MTJST BE OFF BEFORE
SERVICING. Periodically remove the cartridge filter. Using a
strong spray from a nozzle on the end of a hose, wash dirt out of
the filter by spraying water down the center (inside) of the
cartridge. It is helpful to use two cartridge filters. While one
is in service, the other can soak in a bucket of water with one cup
of chlorine added. Cartridge should be replaced about once a year.
The system is provided with an automatic bromine feeder
that has. a control valve to increase and decrease the amount of
chemical delivered to the fountain. The readings for bromine
should be the same as the instructions for swimming pols and spas.
Bromine can be purchased at the local swimming pool supply store
and should be used per the manufacturer's instructions.
C. 71ocr Drains. Periodically check the drain body for
debris build-up and clean as necessary. The plug and base must be
clean when the plug is replaced. Be sure that the closure plug is
tight before· filling fountain.
D. Junction Boxes. Periodically check lid gasket for
cracks and abrasion and replace as necessary. ALL POWER TO THE
FOUNTAIN MUST BE SHUT OFF PRIOR TO MAINTENANCE OR SERVICING TO
PP~EV~T SHOCK HAZARD.
E. Overflow Drains. Periodically check the drain body and
drain line for debris build-up and clean as necessary. Insure
grill plate is securely fastened to the drain body when in use.
F. Time Clock. Periodically remove time clock mechanism
from case and lubricate motor. Check on/off trippers to insure
tightness. TURN OFF POWER TO TIME CLOCK PRIOR TO MAINTENANCE OR
SERVICING TO PREVENT SHOCK HAZARD.
WATER MAINTENANCE
A. Drain the pool at least every one hundred eighty (180)
days and replace with fresh clean water. This prevents mineral
build-up in the water from evaporation.
B. Algae is one of the most common and perplexing problems
in maintaining a pool. The best way to control algae is' with the
addition of bromine. Bromine can be purchased at the local
swimming pool supply store and should be used per the
manufacturer,s instructions. The system is provided with an
automatic bromine feeder that has a control valve to increase and
decrease the amount of chemical delivered to the fountain. The
readings for bromine should be the same as the instructions for
sw]~ing pools and spas. Do not use if fish are included in the
water feature.
~AINTENANCE CHECK LIST AND SUGGESTED SCHEDULE
A. Weekly.
1. Check for debris in fountain, especially in the
pump sump area. Remove as required.

PU~P SELECTION AND LO~jON
To po. we!' yOUr Star-Clear Filter, select a continuous
duty pump desi~,~ed for swimming pool or spa service.
It is important to first determine where your pump and
iqlter will be located. If above the waterline, a self-prim.
Lng pump mu~t be used. Self-primlng pumps (such as
~r~'Word SUper ,~Ump or -POWer-Flo .ri) have the ability
to llft water/rom a lower level and pr/me aUtOmatically.
As a genera] guide, select a pump w/th an average output
rating of at least 25-35 gallons per minute for the. C-250;
50-60 gallons per minute for the C-500. Other co',fliidera.
tions are operation ol' hydrotherapy fittings, automatic
'aner~, etc. Your dealer will help you select th~ proper
~ .~e pump for your system needs.
--I LTER L OCATI ON
--Since plumbing fittings offer a resistance to water
flow, locate the filter as close to the swimming pool
as practicaL Keep the number of fittings to a mini-
mum. Select a well drained area, One that will not
