Four firms submitted proposals deemed responsive to the <br />RFP. After review by a committee of internal staff, the four proposals were ranked and Pacheco <br />Brothers Gardening, Inc., a Hayward-based firm, was selected based on the firm’s highest score <br />and the second lowest bid price. The City entered into a contract with Pacheco Brothers <br />Gardening, Inc. on March 1, 2016. <br /> <br />Amendment No. 1 extended the Non-Professional Services Agreement through June 30, 2018 <br />and allowed the City Manager to extend the contract annually for three additional years by contract <br />amendment. The subsequent year, Amendment No. 2 noted that the company name had changed <br />to Del Conte’s Landscaping, Inc. Subsequent amendments have extended the contract on an <br />annual basis subject to inflationary increases. <br />Analysis <br />If authorized, the existing contract will be extended for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023 in the amount <br />of $18,021.80 per month for a total of $216,261.60. The new contract price reflects a 5.5% <br />increase over the prior fiscal year. Services include maintenance of medians and other <br />right-of-way landscapes, and/or weed abatement in forty-eight (48) distinct locations throughout <br />the City including major streets such as E. 14th Street, Davis Street, Marina Boulevard, San <br />Leandro Boulevard, Doolittle Drive, and MacArthur Boulevard. Services include mowing, plant <br />trimming, irrigation monitoring and repair, litter abatement, and weed abatement. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/28/2022
