BACKGROUND In 2013, landscape maintenance services were competitively bid and awarded to ValleyCrest Landscape Maintenance, Inc. by action of the City Council. The term of the base contract was for two years, plus three incremental one-year renewal options. This contract provides landscape maintenance services to the LMD-maintained areas in Zone 27 (Circle J Ranch). As the contract is nearing completion of the two-year base period, staff is recommending City Council approval to execute the first one-year renewal option. ValleyCrest Landscape Maintenance, Inc. is performing in a manner which is reflective of the City's performance standards, as well as meeting the established terms and specifications of their contract. A review of actual expenditures over the past two years supports maintaining the contingency amount at its current level of $24,000.
