Brian Blackwell, Streets Operation Manager
SUBJECT:
Lasting Images Landscaping Contract Amendment
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council and Board of Directors of the Hesperia Water District authorize the City Manager to approve an amendment with Lasting Images Landscape in the amount of $221,440 for a not-to-exceed amount of $526,558 and approve a two-year contract extension for landscape maintenance and repair services.
BACKGROUND
The City has continued to contract for landscape maintenance and repair services to maintain landscaping throughout various locations in the City to provide a beautiful amenity for our community. This also includes repairs to the irrigation system and plant replacements. Landscape maintenance and repairs are performed regularly across all city facilities, township common area, Park-&-Ride, and Eighth Street Paseo. Without regular scheduled landscape maintenance and repair, the existing landscape would fall into despair.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The City prepared a formal bid that was released on June 17, 2021, and closed on June 28, 2021, with three (3) bidders responding, and Lasting Images Landscape was deemed the lowest responding and responsible bidder for a three-year contract ending on June 30, 2024. Staff recommends continuing service with Lasting Images Landscape as they have continued to provide great services. Additionally, Lasting Images Landscape has agreed to hold the current contract pricing for two (2) years through June 30, 2026.
CITY GOAL SUPPORTED BY THIS ITEM

FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funding will be included in the proposed Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating Budget.
