RE: Superb Engineering, Inc.’s Protest of The Davey Tree Expert Company and EMTS, Inc.

Project: –Irrigation Controller Replacement Phase 2
To W
hom It May Concern:

On behalf of Superb Engineering, we formally submit this protest regarding the bid results for the Irrigation Controller Replacement Phase 2 project. Based on our review of the qualifications submitted by the two lowest bidders, The Davey Tree Expert Company and EMTS, Inc. dba Elite Maintenance & Tree Services, we respectfully challenge their experience in meeting the project’s specific requirements.

I. The Davey Tree Expert Company – Lack of Relevant Experience The Davey Tree Expert Company provided the following project experience:

1. City of Manassas Park Downtown – Landscape removal, utility infrastructure coordination, and revegetation.

2. Fairfax County Government, VA – Tree services, vegetation management, and watershed vegetation.

3. University of California – San Francisco – Fire mitigation and vegetation management BMPs.

4. City of Pacifica Tree Vegetation Management – Tree and vegetation management.

5. Emergency Response – Hurricane Storm Damage – Emergency assistance for storm damage in Texas.

6. Loudoun Water Authority Infrastructure Assistance – Municipal stormwater management.

The above-listed projects do not demonstrate specific experience in purchasing and installing Toro DXI Central Irrigation Controllers with Laguna software, which is a critical requirement of this contract. The projects described primarily focus on vegetation management, tree services, and stormwater infrastructure—none of which establish their ability to successfully execute this specialized irrigation installation work. We request that the City of Newport Beach conduct a further review of their qualifications and direct experience with irrigation control systems of this nature.

Additionally, we request the City investigate the number of arbitrations, lawsuits, and settlements they disclosed on page 20 of their bid submittal. This may indicate prior challenges in project execution, which could impact their ability to complete this project successfully and within the City’s expectations.

P.O. Box 3036 - Beaumont, CA 92223 – 909-262-4626
Lic. No. 1074243

II. EMTS, Inc. – Public Project Experience Deficiency
EMTS, Inc. provided the following project experience:

1. Clovis Community Hospital Landscape Improvements

2. Disneyland Parking Lot Improvements

3. Quail Lakes ($35K contract, while the requirement was for projects of $150K or more)

4. San Joaquin Country Club Renovations

5. Seefried – DSJ5 – Fresno

6. Logistic Center at Fairfield – Project No. 21506

While these projects include landscaping improvements, they appear to have been performed for private entities rather than public agencies. Given that the Irrigation Controller Replacement Phase 2 project is a public works contract for the City of Newport Beach, prior public agency experience is a critical factor in ensuring compliance with public contract codes, prevailing wage requirements, and municipal project management standards.

We respectfully request that the City review whether EMTS, Inc. has demonstrated prior successful completion of public sector irrigation control projects of similar scope and complexity.

III. Superb Engineering – The More Qualified Bidder
Superb Engineering specializes in public works construction projects, particularly those involving irrigation system installations. Our extensive experience in public agency projects ensures our ability to meet contract specifications, adhere to municipal standards, and successfully deliver this project.

IV. Request for Review and Action
Based on the concerns outlined above, we formally request the City of Newport Beach to:

1. Further investigate whether The Davey Tree Expert Company has sufficient direct experience in installing Toro DXI Central Irrigation Controllers with Laguna software and review the litigation history they disclosed.

2. Verify whether EMTS, Inc. has completed comparable public agency projects of similar scope to demonstrate the ability to comply with municipal contract requirements.

3. Reconsider the award in favor of a contractor with proven expertise in public works construction rather than maintenance-focused firms.

We appreciate your time and consideration of this matter and look forward to your response. Please let us know if any additional information is needed.

Sincerely,
Estela Candelario
President

Jose got his start in landscape as a laborer with Elite. After a year and a half, Jose had taken a major interest in landscape and ventured to another company to continue his growth. It did not take Jose long to work his way up and by 2005 he became a Foreman, focused on building custom homes.

In 2008, Jose was recruited to another landscape company that allowed him to use his experience and knowledge to help them build track homes. This company was located outside of the Valley and after six months, Jose decided to transition back to Elite as a laborer to be closer to his family.

The move proved worthy as Jose was promoted to Foreman
within a year and in 2017 he became an Elite Landscape
Construction Superintendent. Jose’s 17+ years of experience, passion, and confidence are what earned his promotion to General Manager of Elite Private Landscape in 2022.
