DIRECTOR • i : N.: AND FACILITIES
PARKWAYS,1. EXTENSION OF CONTRACT -
LANDSCAPED MAINTENANCE
Written Communication:
Report dated May 21, 1991, from the Director of Public Lands
and Facilities, requesting that a one-year extension to the
contract with BotaCo be approved for the maintenance of City
parks, parkways, facilities, and Landscape Maintenance
Districts.
Mr. Scarborough made a brief oral presentation, noting that
to go to bid at this time in the process would be a very
lengthy, complicated process and that bids could be sought
for multi-year contracts in 1992. Mr. Julian noted that the
contract amount for the extension was heavily reduced due to
a reduction in service levels.
Councilman Jones stated that he would support staff's
recommendation to approve the extension because of the City's
financial constraints and the need for service but felt that
the contract should go to a competitive bid before another
renewal is requested because of inequities in the present
maintenance.
Councilman Vasquez inquired about the method of payment to
BotaCo for its services. Mr. Green explained that the firm
is paid on a monthly basis and that itemized services can be
deducted from the amount of the contract, if desired.
Mr. Scarborough noted that the City Council may limit the
amount of funds to be spent for a particular service.
Approval of Contract Extension:
It was moved by Councilman Hausdorfer, seconded by Councilman
Jones and carried with Councilman Vasquez voting in the
negative, that the one-year extension to June 30, 1992, with
BotaCo, Inc. be approved for the maintenance of City parks,
parkways, facilities, Landscape Maintenance District No. 1,
and Landscape Maintenance Districts for Tracts 7673, 8485,
9382, 9284, and 9373/7654.
