This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Grass Valley, California. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The Scope of Services shall include the maintenance and servicing of landscaping and associated improvements, as delineated on the original L&L improvement plans, as shown and described in this RFP, as modified through replacement or downsizing efforts over the years, as specified in the City Improvement Standards and as directed by the Engineer. The scope of work to be performed under contract with the City includes, but is not limited to, labor, services, and furnishing of all materials, tools, equipment, supplies and transportation necessary for the ordinary upkeep and care of the landscape areas ("Zones"); to the extent generally described, as deemed necessary by the Contractor and as practical based on the varied annual funding of each zone. The Contractor is expected to propose a reasonable base cost of services for routine maintenance of each zone. Unforeseen repairs, replacements, added planting, irrigation or improvement work will be billed at time and materials rates or negotiated as one-time contract increases based on the work involved. For several of the zones it is desired that after first achieving an acceptable, beautified appearance within the available zone budget, that the collected assessments would then be sufficient to grow a fund balance, such that every two to three years a one-time improvement project would be undertaken by the Contractor. Thus, the total annual contract amount of work and the scope of services may well vary year over year as conditions and funding dictate. Frequency of service will likely also vary by L&L Zone and is at the contractor's discretion as needed to accomplish the scope of services requested. Some zones may require multiple visits in a week, most are expected to be maintained with weekly visits and some may only require monthly or quarterly service. The selected contractor shall provide the City with an annual schedule and coordinate with the City on regular service visit days and times. The Morgan Ranch Zone consists of the main entryway and frontage of one of the City's more prominent and largest residential developments along Morgan Ranch Road and Ridge Road. The zone is relatively well funded, with assessments collected from 384 property owners, but has been scaled back significantly from its original expansive planting plan to keep costs within the available budget and now requires a refresh in places. Plans have been prepared by the City's landscape architect to replant and rehabilitate portions of the zone as funding allows The Ventana Sierra Zone consists of two small slivers of landscaped public property along Ventana Ct and Sierra Blanca Ct, which was established as a separate area of the L&L District, but is essentially part of the overall Morgan Ranch development. The zone only has 19 properties paying assessments into the fund, but maintenance needs are limited and kept in check to match available funding.
