Consider One -Year Extension of Sunridge Landscape
Maintenance Agreement
Sunridge Landscape Services has provided landscape
maintenance services to the City since 1988. In 1996, the
City solicited bid proposals for citywide landscape
services, and a three -year agreement was awarded to
Sunridge as the low, qualified bidder. The City's current
Agreement with Sunridge covers maintenance of all City
landscaped areas in parks, parkways and medians, and other
miscellaneous properties including, but not limited to the
Metrolink Station and the rental house at 661 Moorpark
Avenue. Additionally, the Agreement requires Sunridge to
clean and stock park restrooms and open the gates at AVCP
and the Shadyridge Buffer Zone, Monday through Friday.
During the entire term of the Agreement, which expires June
30, 1999, Sunridge received no cost -of- living increases,
nor rate adjustments.
Landscape maintenance represents the largest expense in the
Park Maintenance Budget. Since the success or failure of
the City's efforts to establish a park maintenance
assessment district could significantly impact the level of
maintenance services provided to parks, a competitive bid
process for landscape maintenance service was not
conducted. Instead, it is recommend that the Council
authorize a one -year extension to the City's Agreement with
Sunridge to expire on June 30, 2000.

Sunridge Landscape Agreement
Page 2
Sunridge has carried out its contract obligation in a more
than satisfactory manner, and has demonstrated, on numerous
occasions a willingness to assist the City by performing
beyond its contractual responsibilities when warranted.
Additionally, Sunridge has agreed to enter into a one -year
extension at its current rate, without a cost of living
adjustment.
RECONb ENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve an Amendment
to the City's Agreement for maintenance of landscape parks
and streetscapes with Sunridge Landscape Services extending
its term one additional year, and authorize the City
Manager to sign the Amendment on behalf of the City.
