(jS-"~ . accepting the bid and awarding the agreement to Park RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2011-247 West Landscape Maintenance, Inc., for Parks and Athletic Fields Landscape Maintenance Services, Bid No. 11-09, in an amount not to exceed $349,600 for the initial two-year term ($174,800 per year). ITEM EXPLANATION: The City of Carlsbad currently utilizes contract landscape maintenance services for the following ten pocket/neighborhood parks and seven school athletic fields/amenities. The City currently schedules and maintains these schools, which are under three different school districts' joint use agreements. Pocket/Neighborhood Parks Ann D. L'Heureux Dog Park Cannon Park Car Country Park El Fuerte Park Hosp Grove Park Maxton Brown Park Oak Park Pio Pico Park Skate Park Zone 5 Park School Athletic Fields/Amenities Aviara Oaks Middle School Buena Vista Elementary School Carlsbad High School Jefferson Elementary School La Costa Heights Elementary School Magnolia Elementary School Valley Middle School The proposed agreement combines portions of two existing landscape maintenance contracts - one for pocket/neighborhood parks and facilities landscape maintenance services, and one for neighborhood parks and school athletic fields/amenities maintenance services. The latter agreement is due to expire at the end of October, 2011. The current value of the combined portions pulled together from the two existing agreements is $272,030 per agreement year. The current agreement portions include $118,992 for ten neighborhood and pocket parks, $153,038 for seven school athletic fields/facilities sites. The new landscape maintenance agreement will cost the city $73,860 for the same ten parks and $100,940 for the same seven school athletic fields/facilities sites, saving the City $97,230 per agreement year. Staff is confident that combining portions of the two existing agreements resulted in the attraction of bidders, an economy of scale, and a linkage of like services. The City Clerk published a Notice Inviting Bids for this service agreement. Ten (10) bids were received, opened, witnessed, and recorded on August 11, 2011. The bid amounts for Schedule A (Existing Sites) and Schedule C (Extra Work) ranged from $166,940 to $344,324 per agreement year.
