Consideration of Water Reduction Levels to the City Parks, Parkways,
Medians, and Sports Fields and a Personal Services Agreement for
Landscape Irrigation Retrofit (Marina Landscape Maintenance, Inc.)
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion,
1. Approve the Parks, Recreation, Senior and Youth Services Commission
recommendation for reduced water use at the City's parks, parkways, medians,
and sports fields (Attachment 2); and,
2. Approve a Personal Services Agreement with Marina Landscape Maintenance,
Inc. for a not to exceed amount of $100,000 to perform landscape irrigation
retrofit in City Parks, City Parkways and Medians, and City Sports Fields.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On April 1, 2015, Governor Brown signed Executive Order B-29-15, directing the State
Water Board to impose restrictions to achieve a statewide reduction in potable urban
water use. The City of San Juan Capistrano is required to meet a 28% potable water
reduction. At the June 10, 2015, Parks, Recreation, Senior and Youth Services
Commission (Commission) meeting, staff presented to the Commission options for
reducing watering at the City's parks, parkways, medians, and sports fields in response
to the drought and the State's requirements. The Commission provided the following
recommendations:
• Parks - A reduction of turf watering by 28% (two days per week watering) in all
parks with the exception of Arce Park. The watering of the turf at Acre Park will
cease and the irrigation system will be retrofitted to protect the trees.
• Parkways and Medians -All parkways and medians with turf will cease watering
and the irrigation systems will be retrofitted to protect the trees, with the
exception of the parkway at Calle Arroyo/Sundance where turf watering will be
reduced by 28% to ensure this area remains a viable fire buffer.
• Sports Fields -A reduction of turf watering by 28% (two days per week watering)
in all sports fields.
City Council Agenda Report

Page 2 of 4
A 28% water reduction will apply to all turf (lawn) areas, regardless of the type of water
used (potable, non-potable, or recycled). During summer months through early fall,
recycled water supply is limited and often the City's non-potable water system is
supplemented with potable water. Therefore, reducing recycled water use helps to
reduce or eliminate the amount of non-potable groundwater or potable water needed to
augment the non-potable system.
Based on the Commission recommendations for water reduction, the City can expect to
save approximately 6.4 Million Gallons (MG) of water in the parks, 1.5 MG in the
parkways and medians, and 2.5 MG in the sports fields for a total of 10.4 MG of water
saved annually. These actions will result in water savings of approximately $133,000
annually, as well as annual savings from less required maintenance of $10,320 for a
total of $143,320. These savings will be used to offset the cost of required irrigation
retrofits in the affected areas. Staff recommends that the City Council implement the
recommendations for reduced water use provided by the Commission.
Additionally, staff recommends the City Council approve a Personal Services
Agreement for landscape irrigation retrofit to be performed by Marina Landscape
Maintenance, Inc. for a not to exceed amount of $100,000 to protect the City's trees
located in these areas.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The options that were presented to the Parks, Recreation, Senior and Youth Services
Commission for reducing water use at the City's parks, parkways, medians, and sports
fields are as follows:
Option A-"Minimum action to meet State Requirements." This option reduces water by
28% reduction (two days per week watering) to all City parks, parkways, and sports
fields and ceases turf watering to medians. Under this option, watering of turf areas
would be reduced in City parks, parkways, and sports fields to a level that will allow
future re-growth of turf, except on medians where it will need to be replaced, and will
allow the trees to continue to survive. Turf grass will be marginally green with some
variation of brown turf areas and will recover upon reinstating the water. Medians will
be targets for future replacement with drought tolerant plants. The Commission did
not choose this option.
Option B -"Additional reductions to all turf grass." Under this option, additional
reductions in watering could be achieved by selecting certain City parks, parkways,
medians, and select areas of sport fields to have the water turned off completely while
selected other locations will continue with the 28% reduction. This is the option that
the Commission chose. At the June 10, 2015, Commission meeting, each City park,
parkway, median, and sports field was presented to the Commission (Attachment 1 ),
and recommendations were provided on which areas should have water use reduced
beyond 28% (two days per week watering). In general, the Commission recommended
to continue with the 28% reduction at City parks and sports fields and to cease watering
on the parkways and medians (Attachment 2). The exception to cease watering at Acre
Park was justifiable, as this is just a small patch of grass that serves limited purpose.
City Council Agenda Report
June 16, 2015
Page 3 of 4
The parkway at Calle Arroyo/Sundance exception to continue at the 28% reduction was
done to ensure this area remains a viable fire buffer. In this option, some existing
irrigation systems will need to be reconfigured to supply water to the trees to protect
these assets. Those areas where watering is ceased will be priority areas for future
replacement with drought tolerant plants.
Option C -"No turf watering except minimum to Sports Fields." Under this option, all
watering in turf areas located in 17 neighborhood parks, seven (7) parkways and
medians, and selected areas of six (6) Sports Fields would cease. In this option, the
existing irrigation systems would need to be reconfigured to supply water to the trees to
protect these assets. There are approximately 1,100 trees located in these areas. The
cost to replace turf areas at a later date when the drought ends is estimated at $3.25 to
$4.50 per square foot for reinstallation which does not include water for re-establishing
the area. The Commission did not choose this option.
Based on the recommendations provided by the Commission, staff recommends
approval of a Personal Services Agreement with Marina Landscape Maintenance, Inc.
(MLM) in an amount not to exceed $100,000 to perform the required landscape
irrigation retrofit work to protect the City's trees located in areas affected by the
reduction of landscape water (Attachment 3).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Based on the Commission recommendation, the savings achieved by area is listed
below. These savings will offset the cost of required irrigation retrofits to protect the
trees in the areas that cease watering.

Section 17. Prevailing Wages.
Contractor hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that the City has not
previously affirmatively represented to the Contractor in writing or otherwise, in a call for
bids or otherwise, that the work to be covered by this Agreement is not a "public work," as
defined in Section 1720 of the Labor Code. Contractor shall indemnify, protect, defend
and hold harmless the City and its officers, employees, contractors and agents, with
counsel reasonably acceptable to City, from and against any and all loss, liability, damage,
claim, cost, expense and/or "increased costs" (including reasonable attorneys' fees, court
and litigation costs, and fees of expert witnesses) which, in connection with the work
contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all public works (as
defined by applicable law), results or arises in any way from any of the following: (1) the
noncompliance by Contractor of any applicable local, state and/or federal law, including,
without limitation, any applicable federal and/or state labor laws (including, without
limitation, if applicable, the requirement to pay state prevailing wages and hire
apprentices); (2) the implementation of Section 1781 of the Labor Code, as the same may
be amended from time to time, or any other similar law; and/or (3) failure by Contractor to
provide any required disclosure or identification as required by Labor Code Section 1781,
as the same may be amended from time to time, or any other similar law. It is agreed by
the parties that, in connection with the work contemplated by this Agreement, including,
without limitation, any and all public works (as defined by applicable law), Contractor shall
bear all risks of payment or non-payment of prevailing wages under California law and/or
the implementation of Labor Code Section 1781, as the same may be amended from time
to time, and/or any other similar law. "Increased costs," as used in this paragraph, shall
have the meaning ascribed to it in Labor Code Section 1781, as the same may be
amended from time to time. The foregoing indemnity shall survive termination of this
Agreement and shall continue after completion of the work by Contractor.

This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the
parties and supersedes all previous negotiations between them pertaining to the subject
matter thereof.
Section 20. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed by the Parties in counterparts, which counterparts
shall be construed together and have the same effect as if all the Parties had executed the
same instrument. Counterpart signatures may be transmitted by facsimile, email, or other
