SUMMARY: The Santa Margarita ASR site weeds impede operation and need to be
managed. Operator access to the outside
treatment header is impeded, the automatic gate safety eyes are regularly
impeded, and the weeds are unsightly.
Annual and bi-annual weeding has not proven sufficient. Final landscaping is on hold until recycled
water is available for irrigation.
The work includes monthly
hand weeding, sweeping, weed whacking, and gate track cleaning; as well as
annual basin bottom clearing, drain inlet clearing, and ethical pest control. Work will be conducted on a per-visit lump
sum basis not to exceed $10,455 for thirteen monthly visits and two annual
visits. Landscape maintenance is
reimbursable by Cal Am.
A Request for Quotations
and outreach to six local companies yielded one quote. Radiant Landscaping is located in Salinas, has
been incorporated since 2017, has a C27 Landscaping License, and is bonded and
insured. All references highly recommend
the company.
RECOMMENDATION: The Finance and Administration Committee
should recommend that
the Board authorize the General Manager
to enter into a contract with Radiant Landscaping, Inc. to provide landscape
maintenance services at the Santa Margarita ASR Facility in the amount not to
exceed $10,455.
