RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council approval of an agreement with SGD Enterprises DBA Four Seasons Landscaping (Four Seasons Landscaping) for landscape maintenance services at the Burton Way Median. The initial purchase order for Fiscal Year 2023/24 (approximately six months) is in an amount not to exceed $59,423.

INTRODUCTION
For the Burton Way Median Green Street and Water Efficient Landscape Project (Burton Way Median), bioswales, new landscaping, and other structural improvements are being completed for stormwater compliance, water conservation and efficiency, and groundwater supply recharge. City staff completed a competitive request for proposals (RFP) process for landscape maintenance services at the Burton Way Median. After reviewing the proposals received, staff recommends awarding the new agreement to SGD Enterprises DBA Four Seasons Landscaping.

Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

DISCUSSION
The Burton Way Median Green Street and Water Efficient Landscape Project is part of the City’s efforts to meet water conservation and stormwater statewide regulations. This project replaces approximately three acres of turf lawn with approximately 24,000 drought tolerant plants and will save approximately 16 acre-feet (5.2 million gallons) of water annually for irrigation. The newly installed swales on the median are designed to naturally treat polluted urban run-off from a 211-acre drainage area. This project also promotes water efficiency and sustainability by using treated urban runoff to irrigate the newly landscaped median. The project is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by early 2024.

Ongoing/regular landscape maintenance will be needed at the project site. The City published RFP No. 24-350-13 for Landscape Maintenance Services at Burton Way Median on September 19, 2023. The project area includes the Burton Way Median between the east City limit (near Oakhurst Drive) and Rexford Drive. The RFP asked for monthly pricing for ongoing/regular services to include plant care, planter bed fertilization, debris removal, hardscape/pathway maintenance, and mulch maintenance. The RFP also asked for hourly rates and other pricing for as-needed services and supplies. Below is the list of contractors who submitted proposals.
 American Heritage Landscape LP
 DMS Facility Services
 JAS Landscape LLC
 Landcare USA L.L.C.
 SGD Enterprises DBA Four Seasons Landscaping
 Stay Green Inc.

Staff reviewed the proposals based on the evaluation criteria included in the RFP. City staff invited all proposers to interview. One proposer did not respond adequately to the invitation and was no longer considered. Public Works staff interviewed the remaining five firms.

After completing the proposal evaluations and interviews, staff determined that Four Seasons Landscaping presented the most advantageous combination of cost and highquality service. More specifically, some of the reasons that staff recommends awarding the new agreement to Four Seasons Landscaping are:
 High quality and complete proposal
 Landscaping experience working with municipalities and other clients  Demonstrated satisfactory performance on current City contract for other services (alley tree trimming and weed abatement)
 Favorable references (verified by City staff)
 Reasonable prices (e.g., ongoing/regular services pricing, as-needed mark-up)  High quality, professional presentation
o Demonstrated understanding of the scope of services
o Demonstrated knowledge of regulations
Proposed Agreement for Landscape Maintenance Services at the Burton Way Median Ongoing/regular services comprise the majority of the agreement cost. In addition, the proposed agreement contains an additional ten percent for as-needed landscape Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

maintenance services based on the monthly ongoing/regular costs in the agreement. An example of as-needed service is replacement of plants and irrigation heads after damage to the median caused by a vehicle accident.

Below are highlights of the proposed agreement:
 Scope of services consists of ongoing/regular landscape maintenance services at the Burton Way Median, including plant care, planter bed fertilization, debris removal, hardscape/pathway maintenance, and mulch maintenance  Defined standards of service include:
o Shrubs and ground covers shall be trimmed, thinned, and pruned on a regular basis to maintain a neat, groomed appearance that complements aesthetic and design intent.
o Contractor shall maintain mulching to a depth of three inches (3”) in all planted areas, which shall be replaced as needed.
o Contractor shall use compost and mulch in compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 1383, as practicable, produced from recovered Organic Waste for all landscaping maintenance performed for the City.
 Onsite work expected to start January 2, 2024
o Annual price escalations to occur July 1 each year
o Termination date of June 30, 2025, with the option of three one-year extensions
 After-hours and emergency response
 As-needed pricing included, 10% as-needed consideration  10% contingency amount – not used unless deemed necessary

FISCAL IMPACT
The total estimated value of the agreement is $584,286 (Attachment 2) for landscape maintenance services at the Burton Way Median with all three annual extensions exercised (beyond the first termination date). This amount includes 10 percent for asneeded landscape work and 10 percent for contingency. Funding for the agreement and purchase order comes from the Stormwater Operations budget.

Based on an onsite work start date of January 2, 2024, the purchase order for Fiscal Year 2023/24 is calculated at $59,423, including contingency. The 10 percent contingency will not be added to the purchase order unless necessary to continue providing services.

EXHIBIT A

SCOPE OF WORK
Under the direction of the Deputy Director of Public Works – Operations Division or their designee, CONTRACTOR shall provide landscape maintenance services for the Burton Way Median, located between Rexford Drive and Oakhurst Drive (“Project Area”). The current plant palette at the Project Area is included in Part 4.

The Project Area includes the Burton Way Median Green Street Project to be completed at the end of 2023. A bioswale, new landscaping, and other structural improvements were installed for stormwater compliance, water conservation and efficiency, and groundwater supply recharge.

PART I-A. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
A. IRRIGATION
A-1. CONTRACTOR will assume all responsibility for the proper operation and function of irrigation heads and nozzles in the Project Area, unless damage is proven to be the result of some cause other than wear or damage by CONTRACTOR (e.g., vandalism, automobile accident). Irrigation tasks described herein are considered part of the bid base price.

A-2. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for monitoring the function of all irrigation systems within any area under the care of CONTRACTOR to include adjusting for coverage, removal of clogs and removal of obstacles including the reasonable trimming of plant materials that obstruct coverage and the drip line distribution.

A-3. At the completion of work in any area, CONTRACTOR shall verify that no irrigation delivery apparatus was damaged and that all irrigation drip line and indicators are clear in order to maintain unblocked function. Trimming around any irrigation components should never result in the plant material being trimmed in such a way as to result in an unsightly appearance of the landscape.

A-4. Effective May 5, 2015, CITY enacted a Stage D Declaration City Wide Watering Schedule. The approved landscape watering days for areas north of Santa Monica Boulevard are Monday and Friday. The approved watering days for areas south of Santa Monica Boulevard (including the subject Burton Way Median Project Area) are Tuesdays and Saturdays. There shall be no watering of landscapes at any time between the hours of 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM. There shall be no watering of landscapes on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. In the event that irrigation system repairs or inspections require system activation outside of the described watering days and time windows, system operation must be manned. No system shall be left to run unattended on watering days that are not approved and/or at times outside of the prescribed watering window times.

CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for fines resulting from violations of these directives.

CONTRACTOR shall request, in writing (subject to the prior written approval of the Deputy Director of Public Works – Operations Division or their designee), any variance from the defined watering day and/or window times which are necessary for the establishment of newly installed plant material or seeded turfgrass areas. CONTRACTOR may hand water.

Overspray/run off onto roadways/pathways/sidewalks
A-14. Irrigation Status Reports: CONTRACTOR shall submit a written report that summarizes activities related to the irrigation system with, and attached to, each monthly billing. This report shall identify the location, nature and date of any irrigation repair, provide a complete and chronological listing of irrigation problem/failure reports listing the date and name of CITY representative that was contacted, and provide a listing of outstanding issues related to the irrigation system.

Failure to provide this report with each monthly billing will result in the payment for that billing being held until such time as the written report is submitted.

B. FERTILIZATION
B-1. A fertilization schedule for all areas under the care of CONTRACTOR shall be provided.

This submittal shall include a copy of the product labeling and product SDS (Safety Data Sheet) for fertilizer product(s), as well as a listing of applicable staff qualifications, namely applicator and advisor.

B-2. Prior to the application of any chemical product, CONTRACTOR shall submit a hardcopy of the product label and SDS sheet to the Deputy Director of Public Works - Operations Division, or their designee, for prior written approval.

B-3. If approved by CITY, all chemical applications shall be made by a properly certified and licensed applicator congruent to product labeling, following the recommendations of a properly certified advisor. The credentialing of the applicator shall be supplied, along with the written recommendation to use a product, to the Deputy Director of Public Works - Operations Division, or their designee, prior to the application of any chemical product.

B-4. CONTRACTOR shall display standardized warning signage when staging or working in any area that is subject to pedestrian or vehicular traffic.

B-5. All debris generated from the fertilization process is to be removed on a daily basis.

CONTRACTOR will be responsible for the cost of removing stains from sidewalks and hardscape elements that result from errant fertilization or chemical application.

C. PLANT CARE
Plant care is defined to include the trimming, care and cultivation of vegetation, ornamental shrubbery, groundcovers, and perennials at the median.

C-1. Trimming
Shrubs, ground covers and vines shall be trimmed, thinned, and pruned on a regular basis to maintain a neat, groomed appearance that complements aesthetic and design intent. Spent blooms, flower stalks and declining plant parts shall not be left to remain on plants.

At no time shall plant material be left to grow to obstruct irrigation spray heads, signage or landscape lighting components.

DocuSign Envelope ID: E07A0692-055A-4396-B295-69C4315BE4E5 12 B0785-0001\2891506v2.doc
At no time shall plant material be left to grow onto sidewalks, pathways, roadways or adjacent private property. At no time shall mulch be spread or maintained in a manner that results in irrigation or lighting components being obstructed in any way.

Shrubbery shall be trimmed at a frequency that enables workers to use hand pruners to maintain shrubbery to a size that complements aesthetic and design intent.

Shearing shrubbery as a means to reduce regular hand pruning will not be tolerated. Shearing of formal hedging, ground covers, and trellis/arbor plantings shall be performed on a regular basis to maintain a neat, groomed appearance that complements aesthetic and design intent.

Trimming and/or shearing should never be severe so as to result in a barren and/or defoliated plant appearance. Plants that are trimmed or sheared inappropriately shall be replaced at the expense of CONTRACTOR. Should equal size plants not be available, CONTRACTOR shall forfeit the difference between the actual value of the damaged plant and the installed value of the largest available replacement plant as defined in the most recent edition of Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers, Guide for Plant Appraisal.

All debris generated from the trimming process is to be removed on a daily basis at a location to be disclosed by CONTRACTOR and approved by the Deputy Director of Public Works – Operations Division or their designee.

CONTRACTOR shall display standardized warning signage when staging or working in any area that is subject to pedestrian or vehicular traffic.

C-2. Weed Control
It will be the responsibility of CONTRACTOR to maintain all areas under the care of CONTRACTOR in a weed-free condition at all times.

In the care of planter beds, medians and tree wells, cultivation is the preferred method of weed control.

All debris generated from the cultivation of weeds is to be removed on a daily basis.

4-9. Work Statement and Quality Control Plan
SGD Enterprises DBA Four Seasons Landscaping has reviewed the entire RFP to ensure that we have the full capacity to properly handle a contract of this size. Four Seasons Landscaping understands the high level of quality that the City of Beverly Hills is requesting. The City of Beverly Hills consists of about 8 square miles of land. There is an approximate population of 32,000 residents. These residents deserve to have their city glisten from the hills to the streets.

This famous City is in LA County and sits under the Hollywood Hills. The hilly backdrop of this City is a beautiful place to call home. Additionally, the City offers a high level of police, fire, animal control, medical aid, building and safety, street lighting, zoning, housing and community development, street improvements and recreational programs.

In putting this RFP out to bid, the City is understandably looking to pair with a contractor that can ensure the highest level of service to maintain and exceed the already high-quality landscape and parks maintenance.

Four Seasons Landscaping has a clear understanding of the scope of work to be done. It will include but will not be limited to maintenance services for Beverly Hills owned property. The contractor will also be responsible for landscape maintenance. The contract also includes a high level of irrigation knowledge and the ability to maintain all the timers throughout the property and be responsible for fixing and maintaining the irrigation system.

In order to properly complete the scope of work, we believe we will need to have a minimum staff of 4 employees devoted to this contract. This will include 2 landscapers, 1 irrigator and 1 supervisor. Further details on staffing will be discussed later in this proposal.

Landscaping Crew: This crew will be responsible for maintaining all grounds. A big priority is to prevent weeds at all costs. This crew will be responsible for all maintenance related activities.

All areas will be properly trimmed, pruned, edged, and weeded. Additionally, all hard surfaces will be inspected and maintained in clean condition. We will dispose of all trash or unwanted material. We will make sure the plants thrive and receive the proper amount of irrigation. All trees under 12 feet will be properly pruned according to ANSI 9000 standards. We will make sure no tree interferes with any right of way and gives all the proper clearances to pedestrians and vehicles. Additionally, all planter areas will be trimmed to maintain the most natural and healthy look while maintaining the neatness of the area. Weed control is a top priority. We implement all necessary steps of herbicide application to get rid of unwanted weeds throughout the year. We also will remove human/animal waste, glass, or any other objects that could be harmful to human life. Drainage will also be kept free of any obstruction and debris.

These crews will make sure to adhere to all safety protocols by wearing safety vests when working in the right of way. We will report any issues to the City when and if needed. 7 33

lrrigator: This crew will be responsible for the irrigation systems in the areas. They will work hand in hand with our other crew to constantly be on top of the systems. The crew in the field will notify them immediately of any breaks in the system to which they will be immediately dispatched. We will have them visit all the controllers throughout the month and ensure that all the stations are being properly irrigated. Our irrigator will also be responsible for all irrigation management for this contract including but not limited to inspection of all the systems on a routine basis, adjusting all timers at the appropriate times and seasons, and making any necessary repairs. All systems will be shut off in preparation for upcoming inclement weather.

We will ensure that there is always proper coverage to the system, minimum runoff, elimination of hazardous conditions and prevention of flood irrigation. Our teams will work by going timer to timer and checking for breaks in the system and ensuring that there is proper coverage.

Supervisor: We will have one supervisor who will oversee the entire process. He/she will make their rounds throughout the area visiting all the locations to ensure the maintenance is exceeding expectations. He/she will work with the crew leaders of each crew on training and safety. The supervisors will also work with the district representative in order to ensure that they are fully satisfied with the work being done. He/she will also prepare all daily and monthly reports and facilitate appropriate levels of communication.

Please note that if Four Seasons receives this contract award, we will be looking to add individuals to our team who are from the City of Beverly Hills area. We would love to work with individuals who want to take pride in helping their district look the best it can be. We will specifically try to hire individuals who have suffered job loss due to the pandemic or other recent problems.

Quality Control:

Four Seasons Landscaping understands that, under the contract, they will be responsible for ensuring that their staff is fully knowledgeable and trained for all aspects of this contract.

Additionally, Four Seasons Landscaping will be paying their staff the appropriate prevailing wages as per the california Code Article 2 Section 1770 through 1780 inclusive Article 5 Section 1810 through 1861 inclusive. Four Seasons Landscaping has bookkeepers fully trained in public works who understand all the required laws and responsibilities that are related to prevailing wages.

Four Seasons Landscaping's number one priority is safety. Our foremen and supervisors meet with their respective teams daily to ensure that everyone is following a strong code of safety.

This includes all PPE and any related equipment. We train our employees how to handle all weather conditions and specifically the high heat conditions which are prevalent in Southern 8 34

4-10. Proposed Innovations
Maintaining a median in its current state is of paramount importance. In order to preserve and enhance its functionality, a meticulous approach is imperative. Therefore, it is essential to conduct comprehensive soil tests to gain a thorough understanding of the soil composition and its specific requirements. Once we have ascertained the precise nutrient needs, our strategy is to meticulously select organic and slow-release fertilizers.

Given the significant role this median plays in acting as a water filtration system for the surrounding street, monitoring runoff becomes a critical component of our maintenance efforts. This practice ensures that the overall ecosystem remains in equilibrium and that the median continues to fulfill its vital function effectively.

Our commitment to efficiency and sustainability is underpinned by a modern fleet of state-ofthe-art equipment. This strategic investment ensures that our operations are conducted with the utmost efficiency, resulting in minimal emissions and waste. Additionally, our advanced equipment enables precise control over water usage, reducing any excessive waste. Through this modernization, we remain steadfast in our dedication to environmentally responsible practices while delivering top-tier landscaping services. 14 40

By implementing this strategy, we not only contribute to the reduction of chemical usage but also support the city's broader goals of promoting a healthier and more sustainable urban environment. Our dedication to minimizing chemical interventions demonstrat es our shared commitment to eco-conscious landscaping practices and our efforts to maintain the Burton Way Median in harmony with the city's vision of environmental stewardship.

At Four Seasons Landscaping, our commitment to sustainable landscaping goes beyond mere maintenance; it extends to our conscientious approach to waste management.

Through our collaboration with these recycling facilities, we ensure that the green waste generated from our landscaping projects is expertly processed and repurposed. Rather than becoming waste, these materials find a second life as compost, mulch, or other valuable resources. This eco-conscious practice not only reduces the environmental impact but also aligns with California's goals of minimizing waste and promoting a circular economy. 22 48
