Elwell, Interim Public Works Director • 1/16/2007 D5 SUBJECT: Consideration of an Agreement for Weed, Rubbish, and Thistle Abatement (E. Stewart & Associates, Inc.) RECOMMENDATION: By motion, 1. Approve the Agreement for Weed, Rubbish, and Thistle Abatement with E. Stewart & Associates, Inc. at their proposed unit prices for a period of five years, and 2. Appropriate $40,892 from the General Fund Reserve. SITUATION: Pursuant to the City Municipal Code, Section 6-7.01, abatement of weeds and thistle, and the removal of garbage, refuse, and dirt throughout the City must be performed annually to assist in reducing risks associated with fire and health hazards. Assembly Bill 337, requires the City to abate weeds in designated High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, and as directed by the Orange County Fire Authority. Additionally, fire breaks, by means of weed abatement, are required on the northeasterly and the southeasterly boundaries of the City. Thistle abatement is required on approximately 1200 acres of City Open Space on an ongoing basis throughout the year. Properties to be abated shall include areas of City Open Space as determined and directed by the Public Works Director or designee. Since the existing specifications have remained unchanged for approximately eight years, staff revised the specifications to ensure that the City's needs were accurately reflected. For example, an additional five water facility sites were added to the year- round weed control schedule. Also, the category of rubbish removal for miscellaneous areas was expanded to include the removal and disposal of illegally discarded items throughout the City. Discarded items such as furniture, electronics, dirt, and hazardous materials are frequently found on public property. In addition to passing through the City twice a week to remove any illegally discarded items, the contractor will respond to requests for rubbish removal from staff on an as needed basis. Once the items are picked up by AGENDA REPORT January 16, 2007 Page 2 the contractor, they need to be separated and disposed of properly according to composition (recyclable, hazardous, etc.). Items disposed of at the dump incur a fee, which is included in the contractor's unit prices. This work has not been included as part of the weed, rubbish, and thistle abatement program until now. On October 9, 2006, a Request for Proposals was issued to seven contractors: Apple's Tractor Service, E. Stewart and Associates, Gardner Tractor Service, H & M Excavating, Landscape Systems, Inc., Nature's Image, and RPW Services, Inc. On November 3, 2006, staff received one proposal from E. Stewart and Associates (ESA). After contacting the other contractors to ascertain their reasons for not submitting a proposal, only two responded. Gardner Tractor Service indicated that they were not comfortable with the legal noticing aspect of the work, and Nature's Image mentioned that they were under time constraints with their existing work. Staff has talked to representatives from the Code Enforcement Department at the City of San Clemente, who experienced a similar response on their RFP for weed abatement work. Of the four contractors who were sent the RFP, only two submitted proposals; one of which was from ESA. ESA has provided weed, rubbish, and thistle abatement for approximately 20 years to the City. Eight years ago, ESA was the sole proposer, and since that time, the unit prices have remained unchanged. Individual unit prices for the new agreement have increased due to higher costs associated with fuel, insurance, chemicals, dump fees, and labor. In addition, a few of the unit prices, such as handwork and administrative costs, have increased incrementally due to higher labor costs. For example, handwork for the AB337 areas is now $.018 per square foot and handwork related to weed abatement is now $.035 per square foot. The annual administrative cost of $10,500 reflects an increase of approximately 47% due to higher labor costs. One area that has increased significantly is thistle abatement. This work used to be performed by a machine sprayer and will now be done manually due to the need to perform spot spraying, rather than general spraying. Because thistle prevents native plants and habitat from establishing, it is the goal of this program to be more aggressive and eradicate the thistle, rather than apply the same amount of chemicals year after year. Additionally, the cost of the chemicals used to spray the thistle has nearly tripled in the last eight years. Staff has been consistently pleased with the level of service, the rapid response time, and the high quality of work provided by E. Stewart & Associates, Inc. Furthermore, when called upon in an emergency situation, ESA has been both quick and responsive to the City's needs. For these reasons, staff recommends approval of the agreement with E. Stewart & Associates, Inc. (Attachment 2). NOTIFICATION: Apple's Tractor Service 0 AGENDA REPORT Paae 3 E. Stewart and Associates Gardner Tractor Service H & M Excavating Landscape Systems, Inc.

Elwell, Interim Public Works Director SUBJECT: Consideration of an Agreement for Weed, Rubbish, and Thistle Abatement (E. Stewart & Associates, Inc.) RECOMMENDATION: By motion, approve the Agreement for Weed, Rubbish, and Thistle Abatement with E. Stewart & Associates, Inc. at their proposed unit prices for a period of five years. SITUATION: Pursuant to the City Municipal Code, Section 6-7.01, abatement of weeds and thistle, and the removal of garbage, refuse, and dirt throughout the City must be performed annually to assist in reducing risks associated with fire and health hazards. Assembly Bill 337, requires the City to abate weeds in designated High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, and as directed by the Orange County Fire Authority. Additionally, fire breaks, by means of weed abatement, are required on the northeasterly and the southeasterly boundaries of the City. To provide complete and continued eradication, thistle abatement is required on approximately 1200 acres of City Open Space on an ongoing basis throughout the year. Properties to be abated shall include areas of City Open Space as determined and directed by the Public Works Director or designee. Since the existing specifications have remained unchanged for approximately eight years, staff revised the specifications to ensure that the City's needs were accurately reflected. For example, an additional five water facility sites were added to the year- round weed control schedule. On October 9, 2006, a Request for Proposals was issued to seven contractors: Apple's Tractor Service, E. Stewart and Associates, Gardner Tractor Service, H & M Excavating, Landscape Systems, Inc., Nature's Image, and RPW Services, Inc. On November 3, 2006, staff received one proposal from E. Stewart and Associates (ESA). After contacting the other contractors to ascertain their reasons for not submitting a proposal, only two responded. Gardner Tractor Service indicated that they were not comfortable with the legal noticing aspect of the work and Nature's Image mentioned that they were under time constraints with their existing work.
