(ROLL CALL VOTE REQUIRED) (Staff: Chris Ball) Item: 10.I. MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director BY: Chris Ball, Management Analyst DATE: 06/17/2020 Regular Meeting SUBJECT: Consider Award of Agreement to Oakridge Landscape, Inc. for Landscape Maintenance Services in Landscape Maintenance Districts 12, 15, 16, 18, 20 and 21; and Consider Resolution Amending the Fiscal Year 2020/21 Budget to Fund the Landscape Maintenance Services BACKGROUND On April 29, 2020, staff provided the City Council with a report that discussed proposed updates to the distribution of the City’s Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMDs) among the three existing areas of contract responsibility for landscape maintenance services. One area would contain the Citywide LMD, miscellaneous City properties, and the underfunded LMDs that generally require a General Fund subsidy. A second contractual service area would contain Carlsberg Specific Plan (LMD 12), Country Club Estates (LMD 15), Mountain View (LMD 16), Moonsong Court (LMD 18), Meridian Hills (LMD 20) and Canterbury/Ivy Lanes (LMD 21), which are fully funded and do not require General Fund subsidy. No change was proposed for the third contractual service area which consists of Moorpark Highlands (LMD 22) and is fully funded. This updated distribution would allow staff to explore service level reductions in the underfunded and Citywide LMD contractual service area to reduce landscape maintenance costs and lower the burden on the General Fund. The results of this study are scheduled for presentation to the City Council on July 1, 2020. The updated distribution would also allow staff to bid out landscape maintenance services for the fully funded LMDs 12, 15, 16, 18, 20 and 21 without changes to the scope of services or service level reductions. Since there was no change to LMD 22, staff was able to extend existing service levels in this area for fiscal year (FY) 2020/21 by executing the final available one-year extension to the Agreement for landscape services in LMD 22. Item: 10.I. 114 Honorable City Council 06/17/2020 Regular Meeting Page 2 DISCUSSION On April 29, 2020, in addition to considering the revised LMD areas of contract responsibility, the City Council approved the Landscape Maintenance Contract Documents and Specifications for landscape maintenance services in the following Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMDs): Carlsberg Specific Plan (LMD 12), Country Club Estates (LMD 15), Mountain View (LMD 16), Moonsong Court (LMD 18), Meridian Hills (LMD 20) and Canterbury/Ivy Lanes (LMD 21), and authorized staff to solicit bid proposals from qualified contractors. The City Clerk posted the notice inviting proposals on May 6, 2020, and staff held a pre-proposal teleconference with interested bidders on May 18 to review the requirements of the proposal documents. The City received seven proposals by the due date of May 29, 2020. Proposal solicitation and review was conducted in accordance with City Council Resolution No. 2019-3829 governing the procurement of contractual services. The bid results are summarized below: Contractor Name Proposal (Annual Cost) Oakridge Landscape, Inc. $251,436.00 American Heritage Landscape $256,097.88 Venco Western, Inc. $265,284.00 BrightView Landscape Services $287,939.00 Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. $304,164.00 Parkwood Landscape Maintenance Inc. $344,964.00 Landscape Development Inc. $570,336.00 In addition to submitting the lowest bid, Oakridge Landscape, Inc. (Oakridge) is the current service provider in LMDs 12, 15 and 20, and possesses a thorough knowledge of the City’s landscape maintenance requirements. Staff believes that they have the necessary qualifications and experience to perform the required services. The City Council is now being asked to award a twelve (12) month agreement (July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021) with an option to extend the agreement for two (2) additional one (1) year periods to Oakridge. FISCAL IMPACT The total FY 2020/21 budget for Property Maintenance Services account (53000) for LMDs 12, 15, 16, 18, 20 and 21 is $418,924. Of this amount, $279,324 is designated for landscape maintenance services. The table below presents a side by side comparison of the FY 2020/21 landscape maintenance budget and the proposal costs. LMD FY 2020/21 Budget Proposal Cost Increase/(Decrease) 12 $39,876.00 $54,192.00 $14,316.00 15 $37,632.00 $51,804.00 $14,172.00 16 $2,400.00 $2,520.00 $120.00 18 $3,132.00 $3,120.00 $(12.00) 20 $195,024.00 $137,280.00 $(57,744.00) 21 $1,260.00 $2,520.00 $1,260.00 TOTAL $279,324.00 $251,436.00 $(27,888.00) 115 Honorable City Council 06/17/2020 Regular Meeting Page 3 As illustrated in the table above, the bid amount for landscape maintenance services in LMDs 12, 15, 16, 18, 20 and 21 for FY 2020/21 represents an overall savings of $27,888. Staff anticipated some savings due to economies of scale, as well as some savings due to uncertainties in the economic forecast. Additionally, since Oakridge has already maintained the majority of the LMDs for the last several years, staff believes that Oakridge’s proposal reflects the actual costs of service. LMDs 18 and 20 will realize savings and no additional appropriation is required. Conversely, the bid amounts for LMDs 12, 15, 16 and 21 exceed the FY 2020/21 budget. An additional appropriation of $29,868 from the associated funds will be required to cover the cost of services for these LMD Zones. As noted earlier, due to the reorganization of the areas of contractual responsibility, the LMDs to be serviced under this Agreement are fully funded and typically do not require General Fund subsidy. For FY 2020/21 staff is requesting to increase appropriations to cover contract costs in these LMDs as follows: $14,316 from LMD 12; $14,172 from LMD 15; $120 from LMD 16; and $1,260 from LMD 21. Staff recommends awarding an Agreement to Oakridge for landscape maintenance services for LMDs 12, 15, 16, 18, 20 and 21 in the amount of $316,436 per year, which includes an annual contingency of $65,000. The FY 2020/21 budget includes adequate allowances for unanticipated landscaping work so no additional appropriation related to the annual contingency amount is required at this time. The contract contains a provision for up to two optional one-year extensions. The total contract value over three years would be $949,308. COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE This action does not support a current strategic directive. STAFF RECOMMENDATION (ROLL CALL VOTE REQUIRED) 1. Approve Agreement with Oakridge Landscape, Inc. and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement, subject to final language approval of the City Manager; and 2.

In the event Contractor fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, Contractor agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this Section.

Contractor and the City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Contractor: 1.Contractor agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds the City, its officials, employees, and agents, using standard ISO endorsement CG 2010 and CG 2037 with edition acceptable to the City. Contractor also agrees to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise. 2.No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Contractor, or Contractor’s employees, or agents, from waiving the right to subrogation prior to a loss. Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against the City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise. 3.All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operation limits the application of such insurance coverage. 4.None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to the City and approved in writing. 5.No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called “third party action over” claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor. 6.All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification, and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contractor shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect the City’s protection without the City’s prior written consent. 7.Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Contractor’s general liability policy, shall be delivered to city at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled or reduced at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, the City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other Agreement and to pay the premium. Any 128 Oakridge Landscape, Inc. Page 13 of 18 premium so paid by the City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or deducted from sums due Contractor, at the City’s option. 8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to the City of any cancellation or reduction of coverage. Contractor agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation or reduction of coverage imposes no obligation, or that any party will “endeavor” (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate. 9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance available to the City. 10. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the Work who is brought onto or involved in the Work by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the Work will be submitted to the City for review. 11. Contractor agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer, or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of Work contemplated by this Agreement to self-insure its obligations to the City. If Contractor’s existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self- insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time, the City shall review options with the Contractor, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions. 12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor 90 days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to the City. 13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement. 14. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with an insurance 129 Oakridge Landscape, Inc. Page 14 of 18 requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations to the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard. 15. Contractor will renew the required coverage annually as long as the City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this Agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the Agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until the City executes a written statement to that effect. 16. Contractor shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Contractor’s insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specification applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to the City within five days of the expiration of coverage. 17.The provisions of any Workers’ Compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Contractor under this Agreement. Contractor expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to the City, its employees, officials, and agents. 18.Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits, or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all- inclusive. 19.These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this Agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such. 20.The requirements in this section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts or impairs the provisions of this section. 21. Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the Work reserves the right to charge the City or Contractor for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this Agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to the City. It is not the intent of the City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against the City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto. 22. Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this Agreement. The City 130 Oakridge Landscape, Inc. Page 15 of 18 assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve the City. 23.Contractor agrees to obtain and provide to City a copy of Professional Liability coverage for Architects or Engineers on this project, when required by City. City shall determine the liability limit. 131 Oakridge Landscape, Inc. Page 16 of 18 EXHIBIT B PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE SECTION 9204 9204.

(d) (1) (A) Upon receipt of a claim pursuant to this section, the public entity to which the claim applies shall conduct a reasonable review of the claim and, within a period not to exceed 45 days, shall provide the claimant a written statement identifying what portion of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Upon receipt of a claim, a public entity and a contractor may, by mutual agreement, extend the time period provided in this subdivision. (B) The claimant shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. (C) If the public entity needs approval from its governing body to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the governing body does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the governing body after the 45-day period, or extension, expires to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion. (D) Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the public entity issues its written statement. If the public entity fails to issue a written statement, paragraph (3) shall apply.

(E) This section does not preclude a public entity from requiring arbitration of disputes under private arbitration or the Public Works Contract Arbitration Program, if mediation under this section does not resolve the parties’ dispute. (3) Failure by the public entity to respond to a claim from a contractor within the time periods described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the public entity’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant. (4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at 7 percent per annum. (5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contractor may present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45 days of receipt of this written request, the contractor shall notify the subcontractor in writing as to whether the contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the original contractor did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement of the reasons for not having done so. (e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the plans or specifications for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under this section. (f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy, provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section. (g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017. (h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee to meet its contractual obligations. (i) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2020, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2020, deletes or extends that date.
