TO:City Council FROM:Fran Robustelli Interim City Manager BY:Debbie Pollart Public Works Director FINANCE REVIEW:Susan Hsieh Finance Director TITLE:Staff Report for a City of San Leandro City Council Resolution to Authorize an Appropriation of $24,100 from the Shoreline Fund Balance to the Shoreline Operating Account 597-57-003-5340 for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the City Council authorize appropriation of $24,100 from the Shoreline Fund Balance to the Shoreline Operating Account for removal, trimming, and planting of trees at Marina Park. BACKGROUND In late 2019, a Department of Public Works’ certified arborist performed an in-field inspection of all trees located within Marina Park. Written recommendations were provided for trees that should be removed or trimmed. In early 2021, Bid 20-21.006 was issued by the City’s Purchasing Technician, with 14 responses received. West Coast Arborist, Inc. was the low-bid at $24,100. Analysis The proposed scope of work includes removal of 20 trees, trimming of 19 trees, and planting of 27 15-gallon sized trees (trees will be purchased at wholesale by the City and provided to contractor to plant). The Non-Professional Services Agreement (NPSA) with West Coast Arborist, Inc. does not require Council approval because the agreement is less than $50,000 and can be administratively approved by the Interim City Manager. However, because there is no budget line item in the Shoreline Operating Account for this work, an appropriation from the Fund Balance is requested. Fiscal Impacts This project will cost $24,100, which requires increasing the FY 2020-2021 Shoreline Operating Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 3/31/2021 146
