Home My WebLink AboutPW On-Call Vegetation Management & Debris RemovalDepartment: Public Works Agenda Item No: # a rT Ino M -M RIJN Mika iii Prepared by: *ty Manager Approvaii. 4_i,1_1_1_1__�� Director of Public Works (KM) SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO AWARD A TWO YEAR RENEWABLE CONTRACT FOR ON-CALL VEGETATION MANAGEMENT AND DEBRIS REMOVAL TO FORSTER & KROEGER LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE, INC., IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $70,000 PER YEAR. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution authorizing the Director of Public Works to award vegetation management and debris removal two year renewable contract to Forster & Kroeger Landscape Maintenance, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $70,000 per year. BACKGROUND: Both the Fire Department and Public Works staff work on fire prevention activities in the City's open space areas. In addition to ongoing vegetation management, City employees have discovered numerous homeless encampments on City open space and undeveloped land in recent years. These encampments present a significant fire danger because they are usually surrounded by heavy vegetation in difficult to access locations. Procedurally, Police, Fire and Public Works spearhead the City's response to fire prevention in open space related to homeless encampments. In the past year, Public Works personnel have removed more than 100 tons of vegetation as well as hazardous combustible waste from open space areas. The amount of time and effort dedicated by Public Works staff to remove this material is sinificant, to the point of delaying equally important mainte gnance activities. Securing the services of a contractor for vegetation management and debris removal will allow Public Works to perform these tasks, e.g., removing leaves and other debris in preparation for winter storms. This contractor will be available on an emergency basis when removal is needed after hours or on weekends. *vergrown vegetation, especially in areas close to developed neighborhoods, are of special concern. Its management and removal will represent a significant portion of the contractor's overall responsibilities. FOR CITY CLERK ONLY N Coundil Meefing: Dilsposiltion.: FISCAL IMIPACT: This contract will be funded by new appropriations in the Measure A — Open Space special revenue fund. This new fund will receive distributions from the new County -wide 1/4 cent sales tax along with matching funds from the City's General Fund. The following tables summarize the revenues and expenses associated with this project: IfMIRUM 1 *04 21N&W_ - --------------------------------------------------ME Vegetation Management (Standard Work) Vegetation Management (Emergency Worr,) Additional Days (if neede Estimated Total Project C1st-7 The estimated days are based on the number of days utilized by staff in the past year to perform similar vegetation management tasks. Although the actual cost is not known at this time, expenditures will not exceed the proposed $70,000 maximum without Council approval. OPTIONS. I Adopt the resolution authorizing the Director of Public Works to award the Vegetation Management and Debris Removal two year renewable contract to Forster & Kroeger Landscape Maintenance Inc., in an amount not to exceed $70,000 per year. At the discretion of the Public Works Director and with the contractor's consent,, and subject to available funds, the contract can be renewed up to three additional two year terms at the same costs with adjustments as warranted by Consumer Price Index (CPI) and with the contractor consent. 2. Do not award the maintenance contract,, direct staff to rebid the project. If this option is chosen, rebidding will negatively impact equally important maintenance operations such as preparing for the upcoming storm season while Public Works personnel perform debris removal work.
