Costs for each FY will be budgeted pursuant to the contract and are allocated between the
following 3 fund accounts — Park Fund 101-7004-60112, L&L 215-7004-60112, and SRR
Parkways 215-7004-60146.
On -call services are not guaranteed work, however, utilizing the same contractor as a select
source for extra work would ensure continuity and consistency of landscape maintenance and
improvements in areas with aged and deferred landscaping. Work may generally include
modification to the irrigation system, replacement of trees, shrubs, ground cover, accident
damage, vandalism repair, weed abatement, storm debris cleanup, irrigation repair and
assessments, landscape of field improvements, etc.
Council approved additional spending authority for Vintage for FYs 2024/25 (June 18, 2024)
and 2025/26 (April 15, 2025) for on -call LMS, beyond the contract's scope of work, at city -
owned properties, on as needed basis. Staff requests Council approval for additional spending
authority up to $200,000 for on -call LMS effective FY 2026/27 through FY 2030/31, which is
the remaining term of the contract, should it remain in effect, as detailed in the table below.
Any unused spending authority would remain available and carryover each FY until expended
or until the agreement expires, whichever occurs first.

Funds will be budgeted each FY for the remaining on -call spending authority pursuant to
Council's approval, and charged in increments as needed against various accounts based on
the type of work being performed (L&L 215-7004-60691 and 215-7004-60673; and Parks 101-
236
3005-60691) for landscape maintenance, renovation, weed abatement, tree removal, and
storm damage clean-up of city -owned properties.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City contracts LSM for daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance of landscaped areas
located within City parks, retention basins, and parkways. The purpose of the SRR LMS is to
increase service levels at the SRR Event Park and landscape improvements at the parkways
located on Avenue 52 and Jefferson Street.
On April 2, 2024, an RFQ was posted for SRR LMS and on -call LMS; 5 proposals were
received; and the selection committee recommended contracting with Vintage based on their
qualifications and experience.
On June 18, 2024, Council awarded a 3-year contract to Vintage for SRR LMS, starting FY
2024/25 through FY 2026/27, to be executed as 1-year terms based on satisfactory
performance by Vintage. Staff seeks Council approval for the remainder of the available
contract term, from FY 2027/28 through FY 2030/31. In accordance with the contract terms,
per section 1240, subsection (C), the City may authorize a maximum increase per FY, to be
negotiated not to exceed the lesser of 5% or the annual CPI for Riverside, San Bernardino,
and Ontario.
In May 2025, staff executed Change Order No. 1 extending the initial term for 1 additional
year, through FY 2025/26, and increased compensation by 2.5%. Staff will execute Change
Order No. 2, included as Attachment 1, before the end of this FY to extend the term for 1
additional year, through FY 2026/27, and increase compensation by 3%.
Section 1240 of the contract specifically allows for extra work for landscape renovation and
improvements on an on -call, as needed basis.
Staff utilizes Vintage, as a select source throughout the duration of the contract, for additional
LMS that are not included in the scope of the contracted SRR LMS on an on -call, as -needed
basis, in accordance with Council -approved additional spending authority.
Council approved additional spending authority for Vintage for FYs 2024/25 and 2025/26 for
on -call LMS, beyond the contract's scope of work, at city -owned properties, on as needed
basis, which are detailed in the table above under the Fiscal Impact section of this report. Staff
requests Council approval for additional spending authority of up to $200,000 for on -call LMS
effective FY 2026/27 through FY 2030/31, which is the remaining term of the contract, should
it remain in effect. Any unused spending authority would remain available and carryover each
FY until expended or until the agreement expires, whichever occurs first.
ALTERNATIVE:
Council may elect not to approve extending the contract and related compensation.
