Agenda Item No.: 13.A Mtg. Date: 02/10/2025 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: CHRISTIAN HORVATH, CITY CLERK / EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO CITY MANAGER THRU: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: APPROVE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH BENNETT LANDSCAPE FOR A ONE- YEAR EXTENSION PROVIDING LANDSCAPING SERVICES ON THE CITY HALL CAMPUS DATE: February 10, 2025 BACKGROUND: Residents and visitors widely utilize the City Hall campus for events, informal social gatherings, tai-chi classes, and as park space. Between 2017 and 2020, the City Hall campus was poorly maintained, with diseased vegetation, broken irrigation lines, and sprinklers. Repairs were made, replacement irrigation parts were installed, diseased vegetation was removed, and new vegetation was isolated without a holistic plan for the entire campus. The City lacked as-builts for the campus, including the existing irrigation system and plant palette. In 2022, the City advertised a Request for Proposal (RFP) for weekly landscaping maintenance on the City Hall campus. A survey of the existing irrigation system was conducted by a licensed landscape architect, which resulted in a list of recommended actions to improve the operation of the system and was included in the RFP. With limited open space, the City desired to keep the City Hall campus functional at all times and aesthetically pleasing with attention to detail in the plant palette. The City received two responses to the RFP. The first was from current provider Bennett Landscape, and the second was from Stay Green Inc., whose clientele includes Palos Verdes Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes. The proposals received were evaluated in 4 categories: Expertise, Experience and Training, Plus Prior Contracting History, Project Approach and Availability, Cost, and Compliance with RFP. At the October 24, 2022 City Council meeting, the Council directed staff to provide them with the internal documents to determine the staff's recommendation. The council was provided with both proposals, a comparison spreadsheet, and evaluation scoring documentation. 16

At the November 14, 2022 City Council meeting, staff returned with the item and a recommendation to contract with Stay Green Inc. After testimony, consideration, and comments, the Council unanimously voted to select Bennett Landscape for one year and directed staff to prepare a professional service agreement. At the December 13, 2022 City Council meeting, the Council approved the one-year agreement with Bennett Landscape. At the January 8, 2024 City Council meeting, the Council approved the first amendment to the maintenance agreement, extending for one year. DISCUSSION: This past year, Bennett Landscape revised the City Hall campus based on Ric Dykzeul's design as presented to the Council and approved in early 2024. The work was financed by a water-wise turf-replacement grant from California Water Services and utilizing Metro TDA-03 funds. The new design feature native, drought-resistant plantings and ground cover which will take 1-2 years to fully realize the intent of the design. It also provides an example of home- hardening techniques the City, Block Captains and LA County Fire continuously work towards educating residents on ways to protect their homes in a fire emergency. As a result of the changes, staff discussed a monthly price reduction with Bennett Landscape and made revisions to the scope of work as outlined in Exhibit A's revisions (Attachment B). Staff also added Exhibit C outlining Mr. Dykzeul's design and notes for proper ongoing maintenance. Staff will continue to evaluate services provided by Bennett Landscape. This evening, staff seeks approval of a one-year extension with Bennett Landscape via the second amendment (Attachment A). FISCAL IMPACT: There are sufficient funds budgeted for FY24/25 in the General Fund to cover the new monthly Landscaping Maintenance fees of $1020.00. The previous monthly fee was $1,139.67 RECOMMENDATION: Approve as presented.
