The Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) will be maintained at industry standards and all work will be performed in a professional manner and using proper equipment and tools, and quality materials.

Transition Plan
Marina Landscape Services will work with the City of Santa Clarita Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) administrative staff in advance to determine the current state of the landscape zones to be taken over. Meetings will be scheduled, as necessary, between LMD representatives and the Account Supervisor and the Landscape Maintenance Foreman to start a constructive dialog that will carry over as the project is transitioned over from the departing contractor. A thorough initial inspection of the irrigation system and planted areas will be made and documented within thirty days of start of contract.

As a standard practice, one of the first processes Marina Landscape Services implements on a new contract is an irrigation audit. Our audit ensures that the irrigation system is operating properly. Ensuring that the irrigation is properly operating will reduce water cost and usage, while making sure proper absorption is occurring in the plant soil. Marina’s water conservation team will be visiting the job-site to ensure all the standards are being met to insure maximum water conservation. Within the first 60 days, Marina Landscape Services will formally acknowledge receipt of the irrigation system. Provided in General Attachments section of our Response File is a sample of our Irrigation System Audit Worksheet. In addition, The WeatherTrack Controller Inventory Reports will be provided 45 days after the start of this contract.

Irrigation System and Water Management
Marina Landscape Services will inspect the irrigation system to ensure the plant material is receiving an adequate amount of water, and that the irrigation controllers are set to the proper specifications and ensure the irrigation components are operational. Our Irrigation Technicians and Irrigation Specialists recognize that water conversion is crucial and having an efficient watering practice is the key to optimizing water usage. Efficiency will be achieved by making proper adjustments, and addressing repairs immediately upon occurrence, or within 24 hours following notification from LMD. Irrigation repairs logs will be generated and maintained.

Repair logs will include date and nature of repair, and an itemized list of materials, as well as, a site map illustrating the location of the repair, a photo of the site condition, and the work completed. Marina Landscape Services will utilize our Irrigation System Audit Worksheet as a guide for our irrigation system inspections conducted for each controller a minimum of once per month. Our reports will be provided to the LMD administrator.

Marina Landscape Services has fully trained and certified personnel to address all of the irrigation needs of our projects. Our Irrigation Specialist and Irrigation Technicians have vehicles stocked with the necessary irrigation components for all irrigation needs.

To ensure a healthy and well-kept plant community, Marina Landscape Services will implement preventative measures using Integrated Pest Management strategies. When the need arises, active measures will be taken to ensure quality flora. Plants and trees are more susceptible to pests and disease problems under stressful conditions.

Our personnel are trained regularly and are always observant for target pests and diseases. The Account Supervisor will be notified of any pest and disease activity and LMD administrator will be made aware of matter.
