Description) Finance: C icil Notes: 75-0262 Onanrl7 Ito— K1- CIT'F OF SAN BERN RDINO - REQUEST F R COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT OBJECTIVE Obtain Council approval to adopt a resolution to amend the agreement with West Coast Arborist, Inc. BACKGROUND On September 20, 1993 a resolution was adopted by Council which awarded a contract to West Coast Arborist, Inc. , for tree trimming services. The contract provides an option to extend the agreement with C.P. I . rate adjustment with the concurrence of the City and the Contractor, on a year to year basis for a maximum of (5) five years. The Public Services Director provided a notice of intent to extend the agreement (Attachment 1) to West Coast Arborist for the period of September 20, 1994 through June 30, 1995. The contractor has agreed to extend the agreement without a C. P. I . rate increase (Attachment 2) . The current rate of $53 per tree trimmed is an extremely competitive price and staff is confident that a significant increase would occur if the project was re-bid. Funding for the project will again be provided by a combination of sources; RDA, Golf Course proceeds; Gas Tax revenue; and salary savings from two vacant tree trimmer positions in the Street Tree Maintenance Section of the Street Division. The funding detail is as follows: - Shandin Hills Golf Course Proceeds $300, 000 - Gas Tax, Fund 126 100, 000 - Salary Savings 70, 700 - Total $470, 700 DISCUSSION During the last year, the services provided by West Coast Arborists, Inc. have generated an overwhelmingly positive response from residents. This contract extension will assist in reducing the backlog of tree trimming work primarily in residential areas. Additionally, the contractor supplemented their work force with residents of San Bernardino. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council adopt the resolution to extend the term of the agreement with West Coast Arborist, Inc. , increase the award in the amount of $470, 700; authorize the transfer of $70, 700 from Account No. 001-404-52020 Personnel Services and $100, 000 from Account No. 126-356-57736 Gas Tax, to Account No. 001-404-54104 Other Professional Services. 75-0264 `/ .. low 1 RESOLUTION NO. •- 2 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AUTHORIZING A THIRD 3 AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AND WEST COAST ARBORISTS, INC.

It is my intent to recommend to City Council to extend the agreement for the period of September 20, 1994 through June 30, 1995. This recommendation is based on no rate increases for the services provided by WCA for the designated period. It is requested that WCA provide written response to this letter before noon on Thursday, July 28, and if you have any questions, please contact Jim Howell, Assistant Director at telephone number (909) 384-5140.
