City of San Juan Capistrano
Agenda Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: J��n Siegel, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Steve May, Public Works and Utilities Director 11^41 -
PREPARED BY: Thomas Toman, Assistant Public Works Director
Jill Thomas, Senior Management Analyst
DATE; February 7, 2017
SUBJECT: Consideration of an Amendment to the Existing Maintenance
Services Agreement for Weed Abatement, Rubbish Removal,
Thistle Abatement, and Winter Preparations (E. Stewart and
Associates, Inc.)
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion,
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 to the existing
maintenance services agreement with E. Stewart and Associates, Inc., for weed
abatement, rubbish removal, thistle abatement, and winter preparation services
modifying Section 3.3.1 Compensation to set an annual, not to exceed compensation
amount that is tied to the available funding in the adopted fiscal year operating budget.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the Maintenance Services Agreement
with E. Stewart and Associates, Inc. (ESA) on November 1, 2016, extending the term
for weed abatement, rubbish removal, thistle abatement, and winter preparation
services for a two year term, with two, one-year optional extensions. However, the
agreement needs further amendment because Amendment No. 1 only included funding
for one year of the multiyear Agreement and did not include costs for the winter
preparations. Staff is requesting approval of Amendment No. 2 (Attachment 2), which

Paae 2 of 3
will modify Section 3.3.1 of the Agreement to reflect annual expenses for each fiscal
year of the agreement, and will also include costs for winter preparations that were
excluded from Amendment No. 1. Section 3.3.1 of the original Agreement is included as
Attachment 1. Funding for all costs provided for in Amendment No. 1 are included in the
current budget for fiscal years 2016-17 and 2017-18, and will be included in budgets for
future fiscal years.
The existing Maintenance Services Agreement with ESA provides for weed abatement,
rubbish removal, thistle abatement, and winter preparations for the Public Works &
Utilities Departments, the costs of which are funded by various funds and divisions. In
the November 1, 2016, Agenda Report for Amendment No. 1, not all service areas in
the Utilities Department were identified and included in the not to exceed amount of
$240,000. Typical annual costs for services under this agreement are estimated at
$280,000 per fiscal year. Modifying the compensation language in the agreement
(Section 3.3.1) will allow for payment of all related work required citywide within the
adopted annual budgets.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact as funding for the contract is, or will be, included in adopted
operational budgets for Public Works and Utilities.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the recommended
action is exempt from CEQA per Section 15061(b)(3), which is the general rule that
CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect
on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that
the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is
not subject to CEQA. Amending the compensation of the maintenance services
agreement with ESA to provide weed, rubbish, winter preparation, and thistle abatement
would not be an activity with potential to cause significant effect on the environment,
and therefore is exempt from CEQA.
CITY COUNCIL REVIEW:
