SUBJECT: Landscape Maintenance Contract – Loral Landscaping, Inc.
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Approve a twoyear contract with Loral Landscaping, Inc. for monthly landscape maintenance

REPORT SUMMARY:
Currently, Loral Landscaping, Inc. maintains the second highest number of the Cit y’s landscaped
areas after Gachina,and has done so in a professional and economic manner for the last few years.
A proposal for each maintenance area was solicited and Loral provided the lowest proposal for the
areas shown on the attached bid summary (Attachment 1). The remainder of the landscape areas
went to Gachina Landscape Management (see separate staff report) and Cienega Landscaping. The
total for the areas Cienega provided low proposals for is below $25,000 and therefore does not
require Cit y Council approval.
It is therefore recommended that City Council approve a two year contract with Loral Landscaping,
Inc.for monthly maintenance services as described in the Recommended Action and authorize City
Manager to execute the same.

Funding for the maintenance contract is included in the adopted budget for Fiscal Year 200910.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
The contract would not be approved and maintenance work throughout the City would not continue.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
