SUMMARY Eleventh Amendment to Agreement for tree trimming services for City Parks,Facilities, Rights of Way and Assessment Districts to increase the total not to exceed amount for FY 14/15 by $30,000.00 to cover unforeseen costs of tree trimming and removals due to wind events and other additional service required beyond normal cyclical trimming. This Amendment will also add an additional $100,000.00 to the contract amount and extend the term of the Agreement through December 2015 in order to align with the termination date of Agreement 2082 for Public Works street tree maintenance.

STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL(S) lb. Provide for a safe community - Provide and maintain infrastructure necessary to ensure public safety. 2a. Be a fiscally healthy community - Expend fiscal resources responsibly. 3a. Refurbish, maintain, develop and/or expand public use places and spaces. 6. GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION Natural Resources Element Goal 5.0: Provide recreational facilities and programs that adequately serve the needs of residents. Policy 5.1 Maintain existing City parks at levels that provide m�imum recreational to benefit to City residents. Infrastructure Element Goal 3.0: Ensure adequate maintenance of public rights-of-way to enhance public safety and improve circulation. Policy 3.2 Provide sufficient levels of street sweeping, landscaping, graffiti abatement, shopping cart and bulk item removal from streets, sidewalks alleys, and other public rights-of- way. 7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND In 2006,the City entered into two separate 10-year Agreements with West Coast Arborists(WCA) for tree trimming services. Agreement 2082 is administered by the Public Works Department (PWD) for the maintenance of Street Trees. Agreement 4790 is administered by the Community Services Department (CSD) for the maintenance of trees in Parks, City Facilities, Rights of Way, and Assessment Districts. Modifications to the Scope of Work and Funding for FY 14/15 The tree inventory managed by the CSD required additional maintenance in early FY 14-15, as a result of several high wind events that required the use of a more significant portion of our tree maintenance funds than past years. In addition, the tree inventory at all Water Division properties became over grown and in poor health partly due to deferred maintenance resulting from budget 2 ITEM 03/10/2015 reductions in the recent past. Tree maintenance at these locations was typically done on an as- needed basis, causing an accumulation of heavy growth and brush that now poses some safety concerns and concerns for the health of the trees. In order to complete pending work and have sufficient funds available in the current Agreement for the remainder of FY 14-15, the total amount of the CSD Agreement must increase by $30,000.00 in FY 14/15 from $151,000.00 to $181,000.00. Appropriations are required to cover this additional cost in two Assessment District accounts (Santiago Hills and Sycamore Crossing). Other line items have sufficient funds to cover the added costs of the Agreement Amendment. Extension of Agreement and Related Funding for FY 15/16 Agreement 2082 for PWD Street Trees expires in December, 2015 and Agreement 4790 for CSD trees expires in June of 2015. Both Departments plan to put a new tree trimming and maintenance contract out to public bid and have it be in place by January, 2016. In order to continue tree services through December 2015 and align the agreement with the termination date of the PWD Agreement 2082, Agreement 4790 with WCA needs to be extended to cover the period of July 1,2015 through December 31,2015.This will allow for each department to execute separate agreements with the successful bidder for tree trimming services beyond December 2015 utilizing the same bid results. The Agreement also includes an additional $100,000.00 for tree services for the first six months of FY 15-16 (July— December 2015). This funding will be available upon approval of the FY 15-16 Annual Budget. It will not be known what additional funding may be necessary for the balance of FY 15-16 until a new contract is awarded for the balance of the fiscal year(January—June 2016). If budgeted funds are insufficient to award a contract with the selected contractor for the remainder of FY 15-16, an additional appropriation may be necessary at that time. 8.

DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND The City of Orange entered into an agreement with West Coast Arborists on Octaber 7, 1993 for tree maintenance services thraughout specified portions of the city. The agreement was amended in 1996 to extend the cflntract for ten years. City Counci� then approved a second arnendment extending the expiration to December 31, 2015. Aithough the agreement pmvides service for a majority of the City's tree inventory, it excIudes the City's Park and Assessment District hee inventory. In the past, West Coast Arborist has maintained the City's Park and Assessmen# District tree inventory according to the hourly terms of the City's existing agreement. In an effort to formalize this practice and receive the per tree rate, in addition to the hourly rate, West Coast Arborist has agreed to honor the same rate structure consistent with the existing City tree agreement for the City's Pazk and Assessment District tree inventory. Over the last decade, West Coast Arborist has esta.blished a reputation as a competent, capable, cost-effective, safe and conscientious contractor. In fact, Public Works Deparmient has received numerous compliments from our residents on the quality of their work. Subject to State La.w, West Coast will cantinue to pay their employees prevailing wages and nat request any Consumer Price Index(CPn increases throughout the term of the agreement. The attached agreement has an expiration date of June 30, 2015. With the anticipated increased level of tree trirnming needed at City pazks, a stable rate of$39 _ per tree is essentiai to ensure an efficient, economical service and maintain our current four-year trim cycie. 7.
