UNITED PACIFIC SERVICES INC. - CONTRACT AMENDMENT
FOR TREE TRIMMING SERVICES
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council authorize the renewal of the current contract for tree trimming services to
United Pacific Services Inc. in an amount not to exceed $550,000, plus annual consumer
price index increases and a 15 percent contingency.
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents or

BACKGROUND
In January 2007, the City entered into a one-year contract, No. 06-00355, with United Pacific
Services Inc. for the maintenance and care of City trees. The original contract was for $450,000,
and allowed for up to five additional one-year terms, if mutually agreeable to both parties. This
amendment will extend the original contract term by 6 months to coincide with the City's fiscal
year.
United Pacific Services Inc. was initially selected through the competitive bid process. Their
staff is well-qualified and knowledgeable of the City's standards for tree trimming services and
has been responsive in meeting the City's needs on both a day-to-day and an emergency basis.
Staff is confident that this firm, based on their experience and available personnel, will continue
to meet the City's needs for tree trimming services.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
