BACKGROUND In 2014, landscape maintenance services were competitively bid and awarded to Stay Green, Inc. by action of the City Council to provide landscape maintenance services to the following three LMD Zones: Zone 4 (Via Princessa/Sierra Highway), Zone 8 (Friendly/Sierra), and Zone 26 (Centre Pointe Commercial). The term of the base contract was for two (2) years, plus three (3) one-year incremental renewal options. As this contract is nearing the completion of its two-year base term, staff is requesting City Council approval to exercise the renewal option provision. Page 1 PacketPg. 82 0 Stay Green, Inc. continues to perform in a manner that meets the City of Santa Clarita's high performance standards, as well as the established terms and specifications of their contracts. A review of actual expenditures over the past two years supports maintaining the contingency amount at its current level of $8,500. Based on recent bid results for other LMD maintenance contracts, the pricing associated with the renewal of this contract remains competitive within this service sector. Therefore, staff recommends the City Council authorize the renewal provision for this contract in the amount of $49,821 inclusive of contingency, plus future CPI adjustments upon request of the vendor. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS 1. Direct staff to re -bid the contract. 2. Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT There is no impact to the General Fund.
