Title
Two-Month Contract Extension and Dollar-Limit Increase to the Term Contract for Landscape Maintenance for Citywide Facilities as requested by the Facilities Maintenance Department (Citywide)
The two-month extension is needed to allow time for the City to re-bid the contract. New contract specifications will be added to further help control costs, improve contractor performance and improve the appearance of City facilities maintained under the contract. The dollar-limit increase of $125,000 (based on the contract's current pricing) is needed for landscape maintenance expenses from January 1, 2015 through February 28, 2015. The anticipated start date of the new landscape maintenance contract is March 1, 2015.
Facilities Maintenance and Purchasing recommend authorizing a two-month contract extension through February 28, 2015, and dollar-limit increase of $125,000.00, increasing the contract amount from $702,000.00 to $827,000.00.
