DISCUSSION

The Public Works Department is requesting approval of a one-year landscape maintenance services agreement with Yard Masters, effective July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

 

Yard Masters continues to provide quality, cost-effective landscape maintenance services to this recently-developed landscaped area, located on the east and west sides of “G” Street, between East 23rd and 26th Streets, including the center median.

 

It is crucial that maintenance services continue in this heavily-traveled thoroughfare, due to its high visibility and the initial funding expended to design and install the existing landscape.

 

Staff recommends Council approve this amendment to Yard Masters through June 30, 2019. All terms and conditions of the agreement remain in effect.

 

The City Attorney’s office has prepared the necessary Second Amendment to the agreement for your review and approval (Attachment 1).

 

IMPACT ON CITY RESOURCES

Funding is available for this service contingent upon the approval of fiscal year 2018-19 Budget.
