To:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From:Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by:Rick De Santiago, Public Works Manager
Date:July 8, 2025
Subject:Amendment No. 4 to the Agreement with Excel Landscape, Inc. for Monthly Landscape Services for Citywide Facilities and Streetscapes Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 4 to the Agreement with Excel Landscape, Inc. to extend the Term of the Original Agreement, as amended on a month- to-month basis for three (3) additional months with Excel Landscape, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $31,680 per month and authorize the City Manager to execute change orders not to exceed a 10% contingency amount of $3,168.00 for unforeseen additional work in Fiscal Year 2025-26 beginning July 1, 2025.
Background
On June 30, 2025, Excel Landscape, Inc. completed a five-year agreement with the City of Lake Elsinore for monthly landscape services for citywide facilities and streetscapes. After the five-year agreement, the City and Excel Landscape agreed to seek an extension of the agreement to continue the monthly landscape services for citywide facilities and streetscapes for three (3) additional months.
Discussion
This amendment will provide for the continued services of monthly landscape services to citywide facilities and streetscapes. Therefore, staff is requesting a month-to-month agreement with Excel Landscape to allow sufficient time until the new contract is awarded. The total planned compensation for the three (3) month period is $95,040 and will be paid in monthly installments, with a 10% contingency.
Amendment No. 4 with Excel Landscape
Fiscal Impact
Funds are available in the City’s FY 25-26 Annual Citywide Landscape Maintenance Program.
