WHEREAS, on November 1, 2016, the City Council adopted Resolution No.
2016-17 to enter into an Agreement with West Coast Arborist, Inc. (WCA) in an amount not to
exceed $90,000 to assist the City's Park Maintenance staff with addressing the growing backlog
of tree trimming requests for specialized service; and
WHEREAS, through implementation of a grid -based tree trimming program,
WCA proved to be effective in assisting City crews with clearing the backlog, which allowed City
crews to focus on maintaining the City's specialized tree trimming schedule; and
WHEREAS, tree trimming support services are needed this year as City crews
are challenged to maintain the grid schedule due to emergency calls for service and the need
for such specialty work, such as stump grinding and tree removals; and
WHEREAS, the City of National City has an opportunity to "piggybacking" the
City of Poway's Urban Forestry Maintenance Services Contract with WCA for specialized tree
trimming support services for an amount not to exceed $90,000; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.60.260 of the National City Municipal Code provides that
the City may buy directly from a vendor at a price established through competitive bidding by
another public agency whose procedures have been determined to be in substantial compliance
with the City's procurement procedures, and such a determination has been made in this case.
It is therefore recommended that the purchase be made without complying with the competitive
bidding procedure set forth in the Municipal Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby affirms the purchasing agent's determination that the City of Poway's
procurement procedures are in substantial compliance with the City's, and pursuant to Section
2.60.260 of the Municipal Code authorizes the waiver of the bidding process.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby authorizes the Mayor
to execute an Agreement with West Coast Arborist, Inc., for specialized tree trimming, removal,
and planting services through December 19, 2018, with an option to extend for three one-year
terms, in an amount not to exceed $90,000 by utilizing City of Poway's Urban Forestry
Maintenance Services Contract.
