RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Dominguez Landscape Services, Inc., effective June 8, 2021, to extend the term from June 30, 2021 through December 31, 2021, to provide on-call landscaping services, with no change to the payment limit of $1,200,000, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to this action. This amendment is to extend the term only. Contract costs are budgeted in the Facilities Maintenance Budget.

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Facilities Services is responsible for maintaining the irrigation and drainage systems at County facilities along with weed abatement of County-owned properties. On-call landscaping contracts are on an as-needed basis, utilized when the demand for landscaping and weed abatement services exceeds staffing levels. The Public Works Department recently conducted a formal solicitation for new on-call landscaping contracts and is requesting this contract be extended while the department evaluates, awards and executes the new landscaping contracts.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Government Code Section 25358 authorizes the County to contract for maintenance and upkeep of County buildings. The contract with Dominguez Landscape Services, Inc., expired June 30, 2021. The Public Works Department is requesting to extend this contract through December 31, 2021 to allow time for execution of the new on-call landscaping services contracts.

This contract includes services provided by represented classifications, and the County has met its obligations with the respective labor partner(s).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, landscaping services with Dominguez Landscape Services, Inc., will be discontinued.
