CITY OF BELL GARDENS
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
EXCUTIVE SUMMARY
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Bernardo Iniguez, Director of Public Works/Facilities SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving a First Amendment to the Contract Services Agreement with Brightview Landscape Services, Inc. for Bell Gardens Sports Center and Aquatics Center Landscape Maintenance Services
MEETING DATE: November 10, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a First Amendment to the Contract Services Agreement with Brightview Landscape Services, Inc. for the Bell Gardens Sports Center and Aquatics Center landscape maintenance services.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:
On June 23, 2025, the City Council approved a Contract Services Agreement ("Agreement") with Brightview Landscape Services, Inc. ("Brightview") for the Bell Gardens Sports Center landscape maintenance services in an annual amount not -to - exceed $70,000. Services provided under this Agreement include routine maintenance, irrigation system inspections, weed control and abatement, turf and ground cover maintenance, and other landscape -related work. The term of the Agreement is for one year, with an option to extend for up to two additional one-year terms.
John Anson Ford Park Aquatics Center — Landscape Maintenance With the opening of the new John Anson Ford Park Aquatics Center, it is imperative to include the new landscaped areas into the City's existing Agreement. This ensures operational consistency across facilities and guarantees immediate call -out response as the existing contractor is familiar with the City's standards and maintenance protocols.
On October 16, 2025, at the request of Public Works staff, Brightview submitted a comprehensive proposal for the annual maintenance of the Aquatics Center's landscaped areas, with a proposed cost of $25,200 per year. This pricing will remain unchanged for the initial three-year term of the Agreement.
Therefore, the annual contract cost would be increased from $70,000 to $95,200 for the initial one-year term and the two optional one-year renewals.
Additionally, due to the new landscaped areas and unforeseen operational needs, staff recommends the City Council authorize an annual $10,000 contingency for as -needed landscape maintenance -related tasks that may arise during the term of the Agreement.
These contingency funds would be utilized strictly on an as -needed basis for extraordinary landscape maintenance services and would be approved by the City Manager or his designee.
CONCLUSION:
Approving the First Amendment of the Agreement would modify the existing scope of services to include the Aquatics Center landscaped areas, and increase the compensation amount.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for landscape maintenance services is available in the FY 2025/2026 Operating Budget.

provision. This indemnity provision is effective regardless of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent active or passive negligence by CONTRACTOR and shall operate to fully indemnify Indemnitees against any such negligence. This indemnity provision shall survive the termination of the Agreement and is in addition to any other rights or remedies which Indemnitees may have under the law or elsewhere under this Agreement. Payment is not required as a condition precedent to an Indemnitee's right to recover under this indemnity provision, and an entry of judgment against any one or more of the Indemnitees shall be conclusive in favor of the Indemnitees' right to recover under this indemnity provision.
CONTRACTOR shall pay Indemnitees for any attorney's fees and costs incurred in enforcing this indemnification provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this instrument shall be construed to encompass (a) Indemnitees' sole negligence or willful misconduct to the limited extent that the underlying Agreement is subject to Civil Code § 2782(a), or (b) the contracting public agency's active negligence to the limited extent that the underlying Agreement is subject to Civil Code § 2782(b).

CONTRACTOR, on behalf of itself and all parties_ claiming under or through it, hereby waives all rights of subrogation and contribution against the Indemnitees, while acting within the scope of their duties, from all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or incident to activities or operations performed by or on behalf of the Indemnitor regardless of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent active or passive negligence by the Indemnitees.

3. Worker's Compensation insurance as required by the State of California and Employer's Liability Insurance (with limits of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)).
4. Umbrella or excess liability insurance.

13

D. CONTRACTOR agrees that if it does not keep the insurance required in this Agreement in full force and effect, CITY may either immediately terminate this Agreement or, if insurance is available at a reasonable cost, CITY may take out the necessary insurance and pay, at CONTRACTOR'S expense, the premium thereon.
E. Prior to commencement of Work under this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall file with CITY's Risk Manager a certificate or certificates of insurance showing that the insurance policies are in effect and satisfy the required amounts and specifications required pursuant to this Agreement.
F. CONTRACTOR shall provide proof that policies of insurance expiring during the Term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Such proof will be furnished at least two weeks prior to the expiration of the coverages.
G. The general liability and automobile policies of insurance shall contain an endorsement naming CITY, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees, attorneys, servants, volunteers, successors and assigns as additional insureds. All of the policies shall contain an endorsement providing that the policies cannot be canceled or reduced except on thirty (30) days' prior written notice to CITY.
CONTRACTOR agrees to require its insurer to modify the certificates of insurance to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, and to delete the word "endeavor" with regard to any notice provisions.
All policies of Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance shall be primary and any other insurance, deductible, or self-insurance maintained by the CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers shall not contribute with this primary insurance. Policies shall contain or be endorsed to contain such provisions.
All insurance coverage provided pursuant to this Agreement shall not prohibit CONTRACTOR, and CONTRACTOR's employees, agents, subcontractors, or 14 Page 299 of 577
volunteers from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. CONTRACTOR hereby waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers.

K. If CONTRACTOR is a Limited Liability Company, general liability coverage must be amended so that the Limited Liability Company and its managers, affiliates, employees, agents, and other persons necessary or incidental to its operation are insureds.
L. Procurement of insurance by CONTRACTOR shall not be construed as a limitation of CONTRACTOR's liability or as full performance of CONTRACTOR's duties to indemnify, hold harmless and defend under Section 14 of this Agreement.
M. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONTRACTOR or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONTRACTOR payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.
N. CITY reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.

B. Termination for Cause. In the event either Party fails to perform any duty, 15 Page 300 of 577
obligation, service or task set forth under this Agreement (or fails to timely perform or properly perform any such duty, obligation, service or task set forth under this Agreement), an event of default (hereinafter, "Event of Default") shall occur. For all Events of Default, the Party alleging an Event of Default shall give written notice to the defaulting Party (hereinafter referred to as a "Default Notice") which shall specify: (i) the nature of the Event of Default; (ii) the action required to cure the Event of Default; (iii) a date by which the Event of Default shall be cured, which shall not be less than the applicable cure period set forth in this Section or if a cure is not reasonably possible within the applicable cure period, to begin such cure and diligently prosecute such cure to completion. The Event of Default shall constitute a breach of this Agreement if the defaulting Party fails to cure the Event of Default within the applicable cure period or any extended cure period allowed under this Agreement. An Event of Default shall include, but shall not be limited to the following: (i) CONTRACTOR's failure to fulfill or perform its obligations under this Agreement within the specified time or if no time is specified, within a reasonable time; (ii) CONTRACTOR's and/or its employees' disregard or violation of any federal, state, local law, rule, procedure or regulation; (iii) the initiation of proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, or similar legislation as relates to CONTRACTOR, whether voluntary of involuntary; (iv) CONTRACTOR's refusal or failure to perform or observe any covenant, condition, obligation or provision of this Agreement; and/or (v) CITY's discovery that a statement representation or warranty by CONTRACTOR relating to this Agreement is false or erroneous in any material respect, including any statement, representation or warranty set forth in the Equipment Specifications.
1. CONTRACTOR shall cure the following Event of Default within the following time periods:
Within three (3) business days of CITY's issuance of a Default Notice for any failure of CONTRACTOR to timely provide CITY or CITY's employees or agents with any information and/or written reports, documentation or work product which CONTRACTOR is obligated to provide to CITY or CITY's employees or agents under this Agreement.
Prior to the expiration of the 3 -day cure period, CONTRACTOR may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CONTRACTOR has commenced efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 3 -day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, CITY shall be under no obligation to grant additional time for the cure of an Event of Default under this subsection that exceeds seven (7) calendar days from the end of the initial 3 -day cure period; or ii. Within thirty (30) calendar days of CITY's issuance of a Default Notice for any other Event of Default under this Agreement. Prior to the expiration of the 30 -day cure period, CONTRACTOR may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CONTRACTOR has commenced efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 30 -day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, CITY shall be under no obligation to grant additional time for the cure of an 16 Page 301 of 577
Event of Default under this subsection that exceeds thirty (30) calendar days from the end of the initial 30 -day cure period.
If an Event of Default relates to a material falsehood or misrepresentation set forth in Exhibit "B" that is not susceptible to a cure, CITY in its sole and absolute discretion may elect to treat the falsehood or misrepresentation as a breach of this Agreement or waive the falsehood or misrepresentation. The foregoing notwithstanding, the prior waiver of a falsehood or misrepresentation as an Event of Default shall not operate as a waiver or any other falsehood or misrepresentation later discovered by CITY.
2. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, CITY shall cure any Event of Default asserted by CONTRACTOR within thirty (30) calendar days of CONTRACTOR's issuance of a Default Notice, unless the Event of Default cannot reasonably be cured within the 30 -day cure period. Prior to the expiration of the 30 -day cure period, CITY may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CITY has commenced its efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 30 -day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, an Event of Default dealing with CITY's failure to timely pay any undisputed sums to CONTRACTOR shall be cured by CITY within five (5) calendar days from the date of CONTRACTOR's Default Notice to CITY.
3. CITY, in its sole and absolute discretion, may also immediately suspend CONTRACTOR's performance under this Agreement (or the performance of any specific task or function performed by CONTRACTOR under this Agreement) pending CONTRACTOR's cure of any Event of Default by giving CONTRACTOR written notice of CITY's intent to suspend CONTRACTOR's performance (hereinafter, a "Suspension Notice"). CITY may issue the Suspension Notice at any time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
Upon such suspension, CONTRACTOR shall be compensated only for those services and tasks which have been rendered by CONTRACTOR to the reasonable satisfaction of CITY up to the effective date of the suspension. No actual or asserted breach of this Agreement on the part of CITY shall operate to prohibit or otherwise restrict CITY's ability to suspend this Agreement as provided herein.

COMPREHENS O OF
HE RI- P
BrightView Landscape Services, Inc. fully understands the City of Bell Gardens' Request for Proposals for landscape maintenance services at the Bell Gardens Sports Center, located within John Anson Ford Park. The City has clearly articulated its need for a dependable, skilled contractor to maintain the quality, safety, and presentation of its sports fields and associated landscaped areas. These services play a vital role in enhancing the usability and aesthetics of the Sports Center —a key community asset —and contribute directly to the City's broader environmental, recreational, and public health objectives.
We recognize that this RFP goes beyond basic groundskeeping. It calls for a partner who can execute a multifaceted, performance -based scope of work encompassing turf care, irrigation system maintenance and optimization, fertilization, pest and disease control, debris removal, and the preservation of shrubs, trees, and groundcover. Additionally, the City places a strong emphasis on weed abatement, integrated pest management using certified personnel, adherence to water conservation protocols, and strict compliance with all applicable safety and regulatory standards.
The requested services must also be flexible and responsive, with the Contractor prepared to conduct morning inspections, respond to vandalism or hazards, provide emergency services, and complete extra work upon written authorization. The City is further seeking a contractor who can coordinate effectively with City representatives, accommodate schedule adjustments around holidays, implement best management practices for stormwater compliance, and contribute to the sustainability of local ecosystems.
BrightView is prepared to fulfill these requirements through our institutional knowledge gained from years of servicing the Bell Gardens Sports Center, robust staffing capacity, deep experience in municipal landscape maintenance, and strong internal quality assurance protocols. We view the landscape maintenance services requested as a vital operational function that supports the City's image, protects public investment in recreational infrastructure, and upholds the safety and enjoyment of the community. Through this contract, we aim not only to meet the City's expectations but to exceed them by delivering reliable, proactive, and environmentally responsible service that ensures the Bell Gardens Sports Center remains an attractive, functional, and welcoming space for residents and visitors alike.

We will provide proactive communication on a monthly basis that includes images, pricing and recommendations that will give you a full view of your landscape.
