BACKGROUND
This bid call is for a three-year contract for maintaining landscaping in East
Tustin for calendar years 1988, 1989 and 1990. The City Council previously agreed
to assume landscaping along the arterial highways abutting residential development
in East Tustin. The cost is to be recovered through assessments levied under the
Tustin Landscape and Lighting District. The annual assessments for the 1987-88 FY
are $78.95 for each detached dwelling and $59.21 for each condo or apartment unit.
The landscaping is currently maintained by the Irvine Company and we have
coordinated the preparation of the specifications with them so that the current
level of maintenance would be continued.
Other features of the specifications are:
a. Additional areas can be added to the contract as development occurs.
b. The bid prices will be adjusted each January 1, based on the CPI.
c. Prevailing wages must be paid by the contractor.
d. Single limit insurance of at least $1,000,000 is required of the
contractor.
