hiring as many employees, or SUBCONTRACTORS, as the CONTRACTOR may deem

treatments, processes or materials whose availability is critical to the success of the project the

CONTRACTOR has notified the CITY otherwise, the CONTRACTOR warrants that all
products, materials, processes or treatments identified in the project documents prepared for the
CITY are reasonably commercially available. Any failure by the CONTRACTOR to use due
diligence under this sub -section will render the CONTRACTOR liable to the CITY for any
increased costs that result from the CITY'S later inability to obtain the specified items or any
reasonable substitute within a price range that allows for project completion in the time frame
specified or, when not specified, then within a commercially reasonable time.
13. NON-DISCRIMINATION PROVISIONS. The CONTRACTOR shall not

Dear Mr. Roberson,
Over the years, West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA) and the City of National City have forged a
very productive and cohesive working relationship. Today, our common goal remains the
same; to preserve the integrity and health of the City's urban forest.
As we approach the end of the current contract term, we propose to continue tree
maintenance services under a "piggyback" approach. Recently, the City of Poway conducted a
formal RFP for Tree Maintenance Services and WCA was awarded a new contract. The new
rates found under Poway's contract are competitive among the industry, particularly with grid
tree pruning, tree removal, and tree planting. As a partner with the City of National City under
their grant planting project, the competitive rates for tree planting services will serve the City
well.
We agree to offer the same unit prices, terms and conditions as Poway's current contract.
Attached to this letter are copies of Poway's RFP, Council Agenda Report and Price Schedule.
Please note that Poway's Agreement contains a Cooperative Purchasing Provision that allows
other agencies to piggyback. As part of this Agreement, we agree to waive all annual scry ce
fees for our tree inventory software program called Arbor Access.
We appreciate your ongoing efforts to make this Agreement a success for both the City and
WCA and look forward to continuing our successful business relationship. Should you have any
questions, or require additional information please do not hesitate to contact me at (800) 521-
3714.
Sincerely, Li.;_k

City of Poway Urban Forestry Maintenance Services contract

4. Resolution
/ewes tcba), No. 20' 4-- 239
EXPLANATION
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2015, the City contracted with West Coast Arborist, Inc. (WCA), a
highly qualified and reputable contractor in the field of urban forestry, to assist the City's
Park Maintenance staff with addressing the growing backlog of tree trimming requests
for service. 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 their tree trimming schedule.
The grid schedule allows for a systematic approach to ensuring that trees citywide
receive regular maintenance in a manner that maximizes staff efficiency. While the grid
schedule has been effective, emergency and specialized (i.e. stump grinding, tree
removal, palm trees) work continues to be problematic for crews. The continued use of
WCA will provide for the arborists to address emergency and specialized work in a
timely manner in addition to maintaining routine tree maintenance through the use of the
grid. Further, the emergency and specialized work often involves specialized skills and
equipment beyond the City's resources. As part of the FY 2018 annual budget, City
Council adopted the maintenance and operating budget for Public Works Parks
Division, which includes $90,000 for contract tree trimming support services.
National City Municipal Code Section 2.60.260 provides authority to the purchasing
agent to join with other public jurisdictions to take advantage of cooperative purchasing
opportunities, including but not limited to any federal, state or local agency pricing
program or structure that is determined by the purchasing agent to allow a procurement
that is in the best interests of the City. The purchasing agent may buy directly from a
vendor at a price established through competitive bidding by another public agency
whose procedures have been determined by the purchasing agent to be in substantial
compliance with the City's procurement procedures, irrespective of the contracting limits
of that jurisdiction or agency, even if the City had not initially joined with that public
agency in the cooperative purchase.
National City's Purchasing staff has confirmed that the City of Poway's Urban Forestry
Maintenance Services contract with WCA was competitively bid through a RFP process,
and that the City of Poway's procurement procedures are in substantial compliance with
those of National City. On July1, 2016, the City of Poway entered into a two year
agreement with WCA for Urban Forest Maintenance Services, which expires on June
30, 2018. The contract may be extended with a total of three (3) separate one-year term
extensions.
Therefore, staff requests that City Manager authorize the City (Buyer) to piggyback on
the City of Poway's Urban Forestry Maintenance Services contract with WCA and
purchase tree trimming, removal, and planting services from WCA in an amount not to
exceed $90,000, consistent with Section 2.60.260 of the National City Municipal Code
regarding cooperative purchasing.

RE: TREE MAINTENANCE SERVICES
Dear Mr. Roberson,
EXHIBIT B
www.WCarr
Over the years, West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA) and the City of National City have forged a
very productive and cohesive working relationship. Today, our common goal remains the
same; to preserve the Integrity and health of the City's urban forest.
As we approach the end of the current contract term, we propose to continue tree
maintenance services under a "piggyback" approach. Recently, the City of Poway conducted a
formal RFP for Tree Maintenance Services and WCA was awarded a new contract. The new
rates found under Poway's contract are competitive among the industry, particularly with grid
tree pruning, tree removal, and tree planting. As a partner with the City of National City under
their grant planting project, the competitive rates for tree planting services will serve the City
well.
We agree to offer the same unit prices, terms and conditions as Poway's current contract.
Attached to this letter are copies of Poway's RFP, Council Agenda Report and Price Schedule.
Please note that Poway's Agreement contains a Cooperative Purchasing Provision that allows
other agencies to piggyback. As part of this Agreement, we agree to waive all annual service
fees for our tree inventory software program called Arbor Access.
We appreciate your ongoing efforts to make this Agreement a success for both the City and
WCA and look forward to continuing our successful business relationship. Should you have any
questions, or require additional information please do not hesitate to contact me at (800) 521-

Sincerely, Lixit4

WAIVING THE FORMAL BID PROCESS PURSUANT TO NATIONAL CITY
MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 2.60.260 AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR
TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH WEST COAST ARBORISTS, INC.,
FOR SPECIALIZED TREE TRIMMING, REMOVAL, AND PLANTING
SERVICES IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $90,000 BY
PIGGYBACKING THE CITY OF POWAY'S URBAN FORESTRY
MAINTENANCE SERVICES CONTRACT
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
