SUBJECT: AMEND PURCHASE ORDER WITH JENSEN LANDSCAPE SERVICES, LLC FOR
LANDSCAPE AND IRRIGATION MAINTENANCE SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to amend purchase order OP 59024 with Jensen Landscape Services, LLC (Milpitas, CA) for landscape and irrigation maintenance services to increase the total compensation by $90,000, for a maximum compensation not-to-exceed $511,000 for the period ending June 30, 2023.
Desired Outcome: Authorizing the City Manager to take this action provides the City with landscape and irrigation maintenance services.
BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The Airport Department is responsible for overseeing landscaping and irrigation at the San José Mineta International Airport. The services required include planting, watering, weeding, fertilizing, cultivating, spraying, cutting, insect abatement, pruning, and irrigation repair necessary to maintain over 350 trees and over 10 acres of landscape. Proper irrigation maintenance reduces water consumption. As a result of a competitive solicitation, the initial award for these services was made to Jensen Landscape Services, Inc. on July 1, 2015, with the last option expiring June 30, 2021. An extension of the last option was authorized by City Council in June 2022
1. The last option subsequently was extended through June 30, 2023, under the City Manager’s authority, to provide staff additional time to develop a new solicitation.
With the passing of Senate Bill 1383, the State of California instituted regulations which impact the environment and lay the groundwork for the procurement of recycled organic products, such as compost, mulch, and other materials used in landscaping services. City staff have reviewed how the regulations will affect Citywide processes, operations, and bidding requirements, and the Citywide solicitation for landscaping services currently in development will incorporate any requirements needed to comply with Senate Bill 1383. Approval of this recommendation will ensure the City continues to receive these essential services with minimal impact to operations.
Climate Smart San José: The recommendation in this memorandum has no effect on Climate Smart San José energy, water, or mobility goals.
Commission Recommendation/Input: There is no commission recommendation or input associated with this action.
This City Council item is consistent with the City’s 2022-2023 Adopted Budget City Service Areas Delivery Framework: “To provide the community with safe, secure, and efficient surface and air transportation systems that support San José’s livability and economic vitality.”
