ACTION:
MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Landscape and Parks Manager5�
DATE: June 4, 2012 (CC Special Meeting of June 13, 2012)
SUBJECT: Consider Awarding the Agreement for Park Landscape
Maintenance Services to the Lowest Bidder, Mariposa
Landscape Inc., Rejecting the Alternate Bid for Additional
Fertilization at Arroyo Vista Community Park, and Authorizing
the City Manager to Execute Agreement
BACKGROUND
On June 1, 2011, staff recommended awarding the bid for park landscape
maintenance services to the second lowest bidder, Marina Landscape, Inc., and
rejecting the apparent lowest bidder, Allison's New Leaf, Inc. DBA Tri Valley
Landscape. Staff's recommendation was based on the opinion that the bid
submitted by Tri Valley Landscape lacked the necessary references and
experience as outlined in the bid documents and specifications. The City Council
approved staff's recommendation and directed staff to re-bid the park landscape
maintenance services contract for FY 2012/13. In addition, The City Council
requested that staff revise the Competency section of the bid documents to
include specific criteria that would illustrate the bidder's prior experience
performing park landscape maintenance services.
On April 18, 2012, the City Council approved the Park Landscape Maintenance
Bid Documents and Specifications for the City's eighteen (18) parks and several
natural walking trails and directed staff to solicit bid proposals from qualified
contractors. The Bid Documents approved by the City Council included the
following changes:
1. The park landscape maintenance bid documents and specifications were
revised to include criteria that demonstrated the experience requirements of
1

prospective bidders. Staff recommended that population size, number of
parks, total park acreage, number of parks with restrooms and total sports
facility acreage should be the criteria that prospective bidders will need to
meet to demonstrate competency.
2. Mowing was changed from twenty-four (24) times a year with the exception of
Arroyo Vista Community Park, which is currently mowed forty-eight (48) times
a year, to the following schedule:
Turf shall be mowed no less than thirty-four (34) times per year at the
following park locations: Arroyo Vista Community Park, Poindexter Park,
Peach Hill Park, Mountain Meadows Park, Campus Canyon Park, Miller Park,
Mammoth Highlands Park.
Turf shall be mowed no less than twenty-four (24) times per year at the
following locations: Campus Park, Community Center Park, Country Trail
Park, College View Park, Glenwood Park, Magnolia Park, Tierra Rejada Park,
Villa Campesina Park, Virginia Colony Park, Veteran's Memorial Park.
3. The fertilization schedule at Arroyo Vista Community Park was revised to
include an Alternate Bid cost. The Alternate Bid was based on the fertilization
schedule recommended by Guise and Associates, the turf consultant hired in
2011. Guise and Associates provided the City with a Turf Maintenance Plan
based on the existing soil conditions, well water composition and overall turf
use.
4. A minimum of seven (7) years' experience for the Contractor's onsite
supervisor and irrigation technician was specified. A minimum experience
level was not previously specified in the bid documents.
The City Clerk advertised the Request for Proposals (RFP) for Park Landscape
Maintenance Services on April 24, 2012 and staff held a mandatory pre-bid
conference and park tour on May 9, 2012. Twelve (12) contractors attended the
pre-bid conference and the City received nine (9) bid proposals prior to bid
opening on May 30, 2012.
The City Council is being asked to award a twelve (12) month contract, with an
option for three (3) additional one year periods to the lowest bidder, Mariposa
Landscape, Inc. for park landscape maintenance services. Staff has verified that
the contractor has the required experience and possesses the necessary
licenses as outlined in the bid documents and specifications.
DISCUSSION

The current contract for park landscape maintenance services expires on June
30, 2012. As stated previously, the City received nine (9) bid proposals. The bid
results are as follows:
Bidder Total Annual Bid Amount Total Alternate Bid
Mariposa $320,832.00 $3,360.00
Tropical Creations $321,252.00 $35,700.00
Azteca $333,309.00 $24,516.00
ValleyCrest $354,240.00 $371,520.00
Oakridge $359,604.00 $40,776.00
Venco Western $359,821.80 $96,252.00
Marina $390,038.64 $83,964.00
Merchants $416,556.00 $54,000.00
Parkwood $540,540.00 $134,280.00
The apparent lowest bid for park landscape maintenance services was submitted
by Mariposa Landscape, Inc., at a total annual cost of $320,832.00. As part of
the RFP, the City requested an Alternate Bid Amount for the turf fertilization
program at Arroyo Vista Community Park (AVCP) as recommended by Guise
and Associates, the turf consultant retained by the City in 2011. Staff
recommends rejecting the alternate work and completing this work with in-house
staff. Funding has been included in the FY 12/13 budget for the fertilization
program at a lower cost, purchased directly through the distributer and installed
by City staff.
Mariposa Landscape, Inc., did submit an Alternate Bid amount for the fertilization
program at AVCP for a total cost of $3,360.00 annually. Staff discussed the
Alternate Bid submittal with Mariposa and discovered that an error was made by
the contractor, as the amount submitted was their monthly cost, not annual cost.
Staff anticipates that if the City attempted to hold Mariposa Landscape, Inc., to
this amount, the contractor would pull their bid and forego their bid bond.
Because staff does not recommend accepting the Alternate Bid, as the City can
complete this work with City staff at a substantially lower cost, staff recommends
awarding the contract to Mariposa Landscape, Inc., on the base bid and without
the Alternate Bid work included.
In addition, the bid submitted by Mariposa Landscape, Inc., ($320,832.00)
represents an additional cost of $18,016 annually, as compared to the current
contract with Marina Landscape, Inc. ($302,816.00). The increase in the overall
annual cost is most likely due to the increase in the mowing schedule from 24
times a year to 34 times a year at the following park locations: Poindexter Park,
Peach Hill Park, Mountain Meadows Park, Campus Canyon Park, Miller Park and
Mammoth Highlands Park. The mowing schedule at these parks was increased
3
Honorable City Council
June 13, 2011
Page 4
due the fact that these parks primarily consist of warm season turf types that tend
to grow rapidly during the summer months. The irrigation systems at these parks
did not function properly during the growing season of 2011 and 2012 due to the
tall turf. Many turf areas became damaged due to lack of irrigation coverage or
became flooded due to fact that the turf spray heads could not pop up above the
turf height.
Staff decreased the mowing at Arroyo Vista Community Park from 48 times a
year to 34 times a year in an effort to offset an increase in mowing costs at the
above mentioned parks. However, even though the overall acreage of the
smaller parks is approximately 50% less than AVCP, the overall cost increase
could be attributed to the fact that the cost per acre at smaller parks is most likely
more. This is due to an increase in labor hours by utilizing smaller mowers, an
increase in the amount of edging, and the costs associated with mobilizing
equipment.
Staff recommends awarding the contract for park landscape maintenance
services to the lowest bidder, Mariposa Landscape, Inc. The Agreement
between the City of Moorpark and Mariposa Landscape, Inc., includes a twelve
(12) month agreement, July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013, with a provision that
would allow the City to extend the contract for three (3) additional one (1) year
terms.
FISCAL IMPACT
The lowest bid for park landscape maintenance services submitted by Marina
Landscape, Inc., in the amount of $320,832.00, represents an annual cost
increase of $18,016. In addition, staff is recommending a 15% contingency for
various landscape repairs and improvements, in the amount of $48,125.00, for a
total annual cost of $368,957.00. Funding has been included in the FY 12/13
budget and no additional appropriation is being requested.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION (ROLL CALL VOTE)
1. Reject the Alternate Bid for fertilization at Arroyo Vista Community Park; and
2. Award the contract for Parks Landscape Maintenance Services to the lowest
bidder, Mariposa Landscape, Inc., in the amount of $368,957.00, and
authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement, subject to final
language approval by the City Manager and City Attorney.

8
Page 4 of 15
claims, charges, damages, demands, actions, proceedings, losses, stop notices, costs,
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, civil fines and penalties, liabilities of
any kind or nature whatsoever, which may be sustained or suffered by or secured
against the Indemnitees arising out of or encountered in connection with this Agreement
or the performance of the work including, but not limited to, death of or bodily injury to
persons or damage to property, including property owned by or under the care and
custody of City, and for civil fines and penalties, that may arise from or be caused, in
whole or in part, by any negligent or other act or omission of Contractor, its officers,
agents, employees, or subcontractors including but not limited to, liability arising from:
a) Any dangerous, hazardous, unsafe, or defective condition of, in or on the
premises, of any nature whatsoever, which may exist by reason of any act,
omission, neglect, or any use or occupation of the premises by Contractor, its
officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors;
b) Any operation conducted upon or any use or occupation of the premises
by Contractor, its officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors under or pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise;
c) Any act, omission, or negligence of Contractor, its officers, agents,
employees, or subcontractors;
d) Any failure of Contractor, its officers, agents, or employees to comply with
any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or any applicable federal, state,
regional, or municipal law, ordinance, rule or regulation; and
e) The conditions, operations, uses, occupations, acts, omissions, or

arising from the use or occupation by Contractor on any other premises in the care,
custody and control of City.
The Contractor also agrees to indemnify City and pay for all damage or loss
suffered by City including but not limited to damage to or loss of City property, to the
extent not insured by City and loss of City revenue from any source, caused by or
arising out of the conditions, operations, uses, occupations, acts, omissions or
negligence referred to in Subsections a, b, c, d, and e.
Contractor's obligations under this Section apply regardless of whether or not
such claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost,
expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to
by an Indemnitee. However, without affecting the rights of City under any provision of
this Agreement, Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for
liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is
determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent
jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where
City's active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the
obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not
attributable to the active negligence of City.

Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions
identical to those set forth here in this Section from each and every subcontractor or any
other person or entity involved by, for, with, or on behalf of Contractor in the
performance of this Agreement. 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.
Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no
additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder.
This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth here is binding on the
successors, assigns, or heirs of Contractor and shall survive the termination of this
Agreement or Section.
This Indemnity shall survive termination of the Agreement or Final Payment
hereunder. This Indemnity is in addition to any other rights or remedies that the
Indemnitees may have under the law or under any other Contract Documents or
Agreements. In the event of any claim or demand made against any party which is
entitled to be indemnified hereunder, City may, in its sole discretion, reserve, retain, or
apply any monies to the Contractor under this Agreement for the purpose of resolving
such claims; provided, however, City may release such funds if the Contractor provides
City with reasonable assurance of protection of the Indemnitees' interests. City shall, in
its sole discretion, determine whether such assurances are reasonable.

Agreement insurance coverage as specified in Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.

Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, Contractor will
maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Contractor
will use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage
does not meet the requirements set forth here, it will be amended to do so. Contractor
acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section
constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available
to City in excess of the limits and coverage required in this Agreement and which is
applicable to a given loss, will be available to the City.
Contractor shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
1. Commercial General Liability
Commercial General Liability Insurance shall be provided by an Insurance

liability exclusion for claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits shall be no
less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for all covered losses and no less than $2,000,000

Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 06 92
including symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent shall be provided. Limits shall be
no less than $1,000,000 per accident, combined single limit. If Contractor owns no
vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the

personal autos in any way on this project, Contract shall provide evidence of personal
auto liability coverage for each such person.
4. Excess or Umbrella Liability
Excess or Umbrella Liability insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit
requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying
coverages. Coverage shall be provided on a "pay on behalf' basis, with defense costs
payable in addition to policy limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding

applicable to City for injury to employees of contractor, subcontractors, or others
involved in the Work. The scope of coverage provided is subject to the approval of city

Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers
that are admitted carriers in the state of California and with A.M. Best rating of A- or

Contractor and City agrees as follows:
1. Contractor agrees to endorse the third party general liability coverage required
herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees, agents,
using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition date of 1985.
Contractor also agrees to require all contractors, subcontractors, and any one
else involved in any way with the project contemplated by this Agreement to do
likewise.
2. Any waiver of subrogation express or implied on the part of the City to any party
involved in this Agreement or related documents applies only to the extent of
insurance proceeds actually paid. City, having required that it be named as an
additional insured to all insurance coverage required herein, expressly retains the
right to subrogate against any party for sums not paid by insurance. For its part,
Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the
applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors,
subcontractors, or others involved in any way with the project contemplated by
this Agreement to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage maintained or procured by Contractor or required of
others by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to delete the
subrogation condition as to the city, or to specifically allow Contractor or others
providing insurance herein to waive subrogation prior to a loss. This
16
Page 12 of 15
endorsement shall be obtained regardless of existing policy wording that may
appear to allow such waivers.
4. It is agreed by Contractor and City that insurance provided pursuant to these
requirements is not intended by any party to be limited to providing coverage for
the vicarious liability of City, or to the supervisory role, if any, of City. All
insurance coverage provided pursuant to this or any other Agreement (express
or implied) in any way relating to City is intended to apply to the full extent of the
policies involved. Nothing referred to here or contained in any agreement
involving City in relation to the project contemplated by this Agreement is
intended to be construed to limit the application of insurance coverage in any
way.
5. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not
been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
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 discover period) that may affect City's protection without City's
prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of binders of
coverage, or endorsements, or certificates of insurance, shall be delivered to City
at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of
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, 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
premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or
deducted from sums due Contractor, at City option.
8. Contractor agrees to endorse, and to required others to endorse, the insurance
provided pursuant to these requirements, to require 30 days notice to City and
the appropriate tender prior to cancellation or reduction of such liability coverage
and notice of any material alteration or non-renewal of any such coverage, and to
require contractors, subcontractors, and any other party in any way involved with
the project contemplated by this Agreement to do likewise.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, and any other party
involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by
Contractor, 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 project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Contractor,
Page 13 of 15 17
provide the same minimum insurance coverage 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 Agreement. Contractor agrees that upon request, all
agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in this project will be
submitted to City for review.
11. Contractor agrees that all layers of third party liability coverage required herein,
primary, umbrella and excess, will have the same starting and expiration date.
Contractor agrees further that all other third party coverages required herein will
likewise have concurrent starting and ending dates.
12. 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 on the project
contemplated by this Agreement to self-insure its obligations to 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.
13. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of this 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 City.
14. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, all contracts pertaining to the
project will be deemed to be executed when finalized and any activity
commences in furtherance of performance under this Agreement.
15. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the
part of City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any insurance
requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it
waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
16. Contractor will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuance to
this Agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the Agreement is canceled
or terminated for any reason. The insurance shall include but not be limited to
products and completed operations and discontinued operations, where
applicable. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a
written statement to that effect.
17. Contractor agrees to waive its statutory immunity under any workers'
compensation statute or similar statute, in relation to the City, and to require all
Page 14 of 15 18
subcontractors and any other person or entity involved in the project
contemplated by this Agreement to do likewise.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features are not intended as limitations on
other requirements or 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 all-inclusive.
19. Any provision in any of the construction documents dealing with the insurance
coverage provided pursuant to these requirements, is subordinate to and
superseded by the requirements contained herein. These insurance
requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in
this Agreement and are intended by the parties to be interpreted as such.
20. All liability coverage provided according to these requirements must be endorsed
to provide a separate aggregate limit for the project that is the subject of this
Agreement and evidencing products and completed operations coverage for not
less than two years after issuance of a final certificate of occupancy by all
appropriate government agencies or acceptance of the completed work by City.
21. Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any
party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to change City or
Contractor for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this
Agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not
the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these
requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums
or other amounts with respect thereto.
