Inc. I Seasons Landscape arid FINANCIAL STATEMENT: One half of the $31,720 cost w~ll be charged to the Stagecoach Road Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District for Fiscal Year )987-1¡8:. On March 23, 1987, the City Council apP10ved an a4ditional appropriation of $21,500 to cover the cost. : ¡ " ,\ ! DESCRIPTION: The origina~ landscaping of the Stagecþach Road šlopes c~nsisted of shrubs, trees, and a hydro seeded mixture of wildflowers and clover. Due to failures of the irrigation system components, construction damage, and vandalism, most of the ground cover and plant material has died. The developer, Rafanelli and Nahas, has provided new plant material which has not, as yet, been installed. City. maintenance, under the Assessment District, has consisted of major irrigation repair, litter pickup, utility bills, and removal of dead ground cover, which appears to be weeds when dried out. City Staff and Rafanelli and Nahas have recommended that the ground cover be changed to planted materials, including high- and low-growing shrubs which will be easier to maintain and can stand dry conditions if the irrigation system does break down. Thè developer has agreed to pay one half of this re-landscaping, and the remainder is proposed to be paid from reSèrves in the Assessment District, built up by contributions from the developer prior to the landscaping's being installed. As this is a maintenance cost, Staff has solicited informal bids from five firms who have done work in this area and has received three proposals. Staff analysis of the bids is as follows: 1) Four Seasons Landscape and Maintenance 2) White Oak Landscape 3) Quatman Associates, Inc. $31,720 31,707 33,757 While White Oak Landscape's bid is $13 less than Four Seasons', they had several exclusions, one of which was the cultivation of soil around the shrubs and ground cover. Staff, in analyzing this item, has estimated that this exclusion is worth about $500, which would make Four Seasons Landscape the low bidder. Further, Four Seasons Landscape is performing the maintenance of the Amador Lakes Development and would be able to immediately respond in doing this work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM NO. 4.9 COPIES TO: Rafanelli & Nahas Four Seasons Landscape White Oak Landscape Quatman Associates, Inc.
