SUBJECT:
Lawnscape Systems, Inc. Contract Amendment
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to approve an amendment of $62,000 to the existing contract with Lawnscape Systems, Inc. for a total revised not-to-exceed contract amount of $296,376, and approve a one-year contract extension for weed control and abatement services.
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Traffic program is responsible for maintaining the growth of weeds along City roadways, which include dirt shoulders, center medians, and curb areas. This is to minimize any obstructions on the roadways caused by overgrown weeds. In April 2019, the City conducted a request for bid for weed control/abatement services and Lawnscape Systems, Inc. was deemed the lowest responsible/responsive bidder.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The current contract with Lawnscape Systems, Inc. will expire on June 30, 2023, and a contract extension is needed to continue to provide weed control and abatement services. City staff recommends extending the contract for an additional year. Additionally, the vendor has agreed to hold the current contact pricing for one more year through June 30, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funding will be included in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Proposed Operating Budget.
ALTERNATIVES
Provide alternative direction to staff.
