maintenance. This includes, but is not limited to, labor, training, materials, tools, equipment, transportation, hauling, dumping, pesticides, chemicals, supplies, pruning, trimming, shaping, and training shrubs and ground cover plants; removing and controlling weeds; managing plant diseases and pests; mowing and edging turf and ground cover; irrigating plant material; maintaining and repairing irrigation systems; removing trash and debris; and performing any other tasks required to keep the work sites safe, attractive, and fully usable. The total of the bids received exceeds the prior landscape maintenance agreements by approximately $1M dollars annually. The increase in costs is consistent with overall industry price increases to provide landscape maintenance services for public facilities.
In addition to monthly pricing, bidders were required to submit pricing for “as-needed” items and services, which included estimated annual quantities. Bidders were advised that a specified percentage of the total as-needed pricing would be included in their total bid for evaluation purposes. The estimated quantities represented estimated service needs across all four service areas. The allocated percentages were established by staff based on anticipated service levels, with higher percentages assigned to areas requiring greater levels of service. The total pricing for as-needed line items was used solely to encourage competition, establish unit pricing and for evaluation purposes; the City makes no commitment to purchasing any of the estimated as-needed quantities during the term of the agreements.
Pricing will remain fixed during the initial one-year term and shall be negotiated each renewal period, but shall not exceed the most recent available month for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for non-labor, and Urban Wage earners and Clerical Workers for labor. In the event the renewal request is beyond the CPI due to price fluctuations in the landscaping industry, Contractor must provide verifiable evidence to support the requested increase. It will be at the sole discretion of the City to accept or reject such an increase.
Staff recommends award of the North Central and Central Service Areas to DMS Facility Services LLC and the East Service Area to Parkwood Landscape Maintenance, Inc., as the lowest responsive bidders. The West Service Area is not being awarded at this time due to the area being under contract until September of 2026. The Department is still evaluating the bids and will bring back a recommendation at a future date.
A 20% contingency is requested to cover the cost of as-needed line items and any unforeseen required services. Community Services is consciously controlling cost and will limit the use of contingency to high priority items.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
The Community Services Department’s FY 2025/26 budget will be increased by $250,000 to cover the increased costs of the landscape contracts for the remainder of this fiscal year. The department will request additional funding in their proposed FY 2026/27 budget to cover the costs of the landscape contracts, which will be subject to City Council’s approval of budget appropriations.
