C of Good Lit .1 CIO AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET Meeting Date: March 19, 2013 Item # l Reviewed By: Contact Name: Joyce Tolbert Department Director: Contact Number: 1516 City Manager: Subject: Award of RFP #13 -001 Landscaping, Landscape Maintenance, and Mowing Services Background Summary: The City's current general mowing and landscaping term contract with Valleycrest Landscape Maintenance Inc. expires April 29, 2013. The cost of the current contract is $211,128.00 annually. In compliance with the City of Ocoee Purchasing Code Chapter 21, proposals were solicited from qualified contractors to provide landscaping, landscape maintenance and mowing services. The services are for Fire Station 25, 26, and 39, City Hall Complex, Heath Center, Ocoee Cemetery, Clarke Road medians, Maguire Road medians, Silver Star Road medians, Ocoee Crown Point medians, Old Winter Garden Road medians, McKey Street streetscape, Blackwood Avenue Medians, Palm Park, and the Ocoee Police Station. The RFP was advertised on January 13, 2013 and was publicly opened on February 12, 2013. There were fourteen (14) proposals submitted. The Finance Department and Public Works Department reviewed the proposals and there were (4) proposals considered non - responsive for either failing to provide the required bid security or failing to submit their proposal on the revised price proposal form, see the attached Proposal Checklist. The revised price proposal form was necessary for the City to evaluate and compare all proposals received as locations were added to the price proposal form. The locations that were added defined the limits of Starke Lake Park south to Lafayette St., defined the Health Center mowing to include the grass parking lot next to the clinic on Bluford Ave., and extended the limits on Silver Star Road west and east, Olympus Dr. to Woodhaven Ct., to include what is covered under the City's FDOT maintenance agreement. Attached are the top three ranked proposals; complete copies of all responses are available in the Finance Department for your review. The ten (10) responsive proposals were evaluated by the RFP Evaluation Committee appointed by the City Manager, which was comprised of four (4) members: Richard Campanale, Streets /Stormwater Operations Manager; Doug Gaines, Support Services Assistant Director; Jeff Hayes, Parks and Recreation Director; and Steve Krug, Public Works Director. The public RFP Evaluation Committee meeting was held on February 27, 2013 with the Evaluation Committee evaluating and short- listing the firms on specific evaluation criteria. Please see the attached shortlist /evaluation form. The proposed prices ranged from $133,200.00 to $208,880.00 annually. The selection committee recommends contracting with the top ranked firm of Valleycrest Landscape Maintenance Inc., per the attached award recommendation from the Public Works Director. The term contract will begin on April 30, 2013 and is for an initial three (3) year term with two (2) automatic one -year extensions, for a total of five (5) years. Prices shall remain firm for the initial three (3) year term, with price adjustments considered during the renewal terms. The proposed term contract also includes landscape and irrigation installation services, if requested by the City. The table below is the Evaluation Committee's rankings. Respondent/Rank Annual Price 1. Valleycrest Landscape Maintenance Inc. $190,200.00 2. Carol King Landscape Maintenance Inc. $155,695.00 3. Groundtek of Central Florida Inc. $178,762.00 4. Servello & Son Inc. $149,894.00 5. Reed La & Lawn Care Inc. $145,800.00 6. Annan Landscape Co. $133,200.00 7. The Budd Group $198,062.50 8. Helping Hand Lawn Care Inc. $179,060.00 9. Central Florida Landscaping & Maintenance Inc. $176,880.00 10. Ameriscapes Landscape Management Services LLC $208,880.00 The City received letters of protest from Maintain Landscaping Inc. and Premier Lawn Maintenance. Maintain did not use the revised price proposal form, and Premier did not submit the required bid security. The City denied both protests as the price proposal form and the bid security are considered a material part of the response and not a minor irregularity. Copies of both protests are attached along with the City's responses to those protests. The responses were reviewed by the City Attorney. Issue: Should the City Commission award the Landscaping, Landscape Maintenance, and Mowing Services term contract to the top- ranked firm, Valleycrest Landscape Maintenance Inc., recommended by the Evaluation Committee? Recommendations: Staff recommends that the City Commission award the term contract for RFP #13 -001 Landscaping, Landscape Maintenance, and Mowing Services to Valleycrest Landscape Maintenance Inc. in the amount of $190,200.00 annually for an initial three (3) year term with two (2) automatic one -year extensions, for a total of five (5) years; and authorize the Mayor, City Clerk, and Staff to execute all necessary contract documents once the required insurance coverage is received.

Scott Vandergrift City Manager Robert Frank MEMORANDUM Date: To: From: RE: March 11, 2013 Joyce Tolbert, Purchasing Agent Steve Krug, Public Works Director Contract Award Recommendation. Commissioners Gary Hood, District 1 Rosemary Wilsen, District 2 Rusty Johnson, District 3 Joel F. Keller, District 4 Qcoee Public Works Tomb lxvmvbtg agreat comillunif Public Works recommends award of the Landscaping, Landscape Maintenance, and Mowing Services RFP #13 -001 to Valleycrest Landscape Maintenance, Inc., of Orlando, Florida, in the amount of $190,200.00. The City received ten (10) responsive proposals. Following a review of the proposals, the four (4) person RFP Evaluation Committee met and discussed the merits of the respondents. Based on the tabulation of the evaluators' individual rankings, Valleycrest was the overwhelmingly clear choice for the recommendation. All evaluators concurred with the recommendation. The Valleycrest proposal is the only submission that adhered to the requirements of the RFP and completely addressed all areas of the scope of services. Some respondents proposed lower pricing, however based on their submissions not adhering to the requirements requested in the RFP, it was not clearly defined by the information provided that the full range of requested services were included at such pricing. The pricing proposed by Valleycrest at $190,200.00 is a savings of $20,928 under the existing landscape maintenance contract of $211,128.00 through the General Fund. Valleycrest has been providing the maintenance to the City's landscaped areas since 2006. Submitted references were verified to ensure the City will be able to expect the high level of commitment and service to continue in this new contract. Valleycrest has been providing similar services for over three decades in Florida for a variety of public and private owners. Valleycrest's expertise in horticulture, agronomics, design, irrigation, tree care, storm preparation and sustainability solutions makes them one of the best industry resources to ensure Ocoee's landscaped areas continue to thrive. The areas maintained under this contract include; the City Hall Complex, Fire Stations, Police Station, Health Center, Ocoee Cemetery, Palm Park, McKey Street and the medians on Clarke Road, Maguire Road, Silver Star Road, Ocoee Crown Point Road, Old Winter Garden Road and Blackwood Avenue.

Answers to questions received and /or amendments to the RFP documents are as follows: Q1. I just wanted to double check if mulching these sites is included in this contract, or not? The bidding document makes no reference to it, but I just wanted to make sure. Al. Mulching is not part of the maintenance contract. City of Ocoee • 150 N Lakeshore Drive • Ocoee, Florida 34761 plione: (407) 905 -3100 • fax: (407) 905 -3194 • www.ocoee.org Q2. Can you provide any Addeudums to the contract that was not shown on the City's website as the scope of services had changed since the start of the contract in 2007 (i.e. Services on Blackwood Ave., Landscape added on Clarke Road, Silverstar, etc.)? A2. The current maintenance contractor took on the additional work at no charge to the City, thus no change orders were added to the contract. Q3. Irrigation inspections are included as part of the RFP, and it goes without saying that the contractor is responsible for any damage they cause, however what is the procedure for routine repairs, or major repairs? A3. The City's Parks department would make repairs to the irrigation system, or possibly contract with the maintenance contractor if the service was offered. Q4. What is the current contract price, allotted budget amount? A4. Last fiscal year (ending 9/30) the contract price was $211,128.00 /annually, which is also the current amount the City is paying. Q5. With regards to the Bid Security, the RFP states that in lieu of providing a bid security the respondent may provide documentation that their business has been active with the Secretary of State of Florida for a minimum of three years. What type of documentation do you need? Can I go on SiJNBIZ.org and print out our Company service information for you that states how long we have been in business? A5. Yes. Q6. What is the start date of this contract`? A6. May 1, 2013. Q7. My question is the City willing to sub- divide the contract? A7. The scope of this contract is not large enough to justify awarding portions to multiple vendors. The intention is for the City to have a single point of contact for the landscape services. Q8. On page 22 under Weed Control paragraph I- (Hand pull weeds) Are we allowed to use a selective herbicide for the control of weeds that is labeled to be applied over certain types of landscape material? A8. Herbicide may be used only following a written request from contractor and subsequent approval by the Parris & Recreation department. Q9. On page 23 under Professional Licenses - This means that the Contractor bidding the job must have the License and cannot sub out the work to a subcontractor with a license? A9. Correct. Q 10. On page 24 under Definitions - Clean all catch basins - Do you have a number of catch basins to be cleaned and could a Representative meet with us to show us exactly what is expected? A10. "Cleaning catch basins" in this instance refers to removing any surface debris blocking the drains. No cleaning inside the drainage structures is expected. RFP 13001 Landscaping_Services_Addendum_I Q11. On page 26 under Special Contractor Requirements - Could a Representative supply us with the number of clocks, types of clocks and the number of zones per clock? A11. See attached Irrigation Systems listing. Q12. I noticed the new RFP has additional properties than the current contract (from Valleycrest) i.e Palm Park(14). Is this (Palm Park) currently under a different contract? Is there information on that contract on your site? Al2. Palm Park was added to the current contract in 2008, it is not under any other contract. The current maintenance contractor took on the additional work at no charge to the City, thus no change orders were added to the contract. Q13. Was the current landscaping company planning on putting in mulch around the new plant material for the medians on Maguire, for weed suppression? A13. Yes. Q14. Is the new landscaping on Maguire part of the current contract. A14. The maintenance of the Maguire Road medians is part of this contract (see proposal form page 28). However, providing and installing the new landscaping for Maguire Road is a separate additional project, and not part of the current contract. Providing and installing new landscaping (plants, trees etc.) requested by the City throughout the term of this contract will be a negotiated addition to the maintenance of the landscaping. Q15. Would you have the proposal documents in Word so that it would be easier to type all the information that you requested from the computer? The information on Demand Star is in PDF. Al 5. The City does not provide the documents in Word due to errors and changes being made by the contractors to the documents and bid form prior to submission. The RFP states you may use additional pages for reference lists etc. Q16. Is all the jobs on the roadways the Medians Only or is there some ROW along the sides of the roads and if there are any ROWS could you assist us on which roads they would be? A16. Medians only. Q17. Map #4 is the ditch behind the Human Resources Building included? A17. No. Q18. is there any Palm Tree trimming required or Pruning of the Crape' Myrtle trees? A18. The only tree trimming required is to maintain lines of sight for motorists. The City prefers the Crape Myrtle trees to maintain a natural look. Q19. Does anyone apply mulch to help assist for weed control and to help hold in moisture in the sandy soils? A19. Mulching would be at the direction of the City and a negotiated addition to the contract if so directed. UP 13001_ Landscaping_Services_Addendum_I Q20. After reviewing the bid packet, we noticed there was no tree work detailed accept the lines describing the work for pruning.

'D ValleyCrest Landscape Maintenance OUR FOCUS ON SAFETY Safety is the number one priority at ValleyCrest Companies. We are committed to providing a safe working environment for our employees. Each branch has one dedicated employee serving as Safety Officer. Weekly national safety conference calls are held with the President, Regional Managers, Branch Managers, Regional Safety Officers and Branch Safety Officers to review incidents and determine proactive training for further prevention. Through dedicated personnel and leading edge programs providing safety training, the safety record for ValleyCrest Companies remains outstanding. Our self- insured program consistently returns the maximum dollars permitted under the law. ValleyCrest's executive management is so focused on the safety of our employees they have a unique tradition... giving away Ford trucks to safe workers! Field employees with a perfect safety record for the year are eligible for a random drawing for one of five new trucks. This has become an annual event at ValleyCrest Companies. VALLEYCREST COMPANIES PRESENTS FORD TRUCKS TO SAFETY WINNERS Nation's leading landscape company rewards employees for working safely. SAFETY TRAINING The following is supporting evidence of our commitment to safety and how we communicate and reinforce "best practices" at every level and employee job type in our operation. ValleyCrest Weekly Tailgate Meetings Weekly tailgate meetings play a vital role in keeping safety topics and practices on the minds and in the hearts of our employees. They provide meaningful and relevant information to keep our crews informed about our safety program, and aware of any accidents or near misses occurring within the last week. These meetings also provide a platform to discuss potential dangers on the job, how to avoid accidents and injuries, what to do in case of an accident or injury, as well as provide documentation of participation in the program. man = W& As part of the overall safety program, these meetings spearhead our consistent commitment to the health and safety of our employees, clients and the public. How We Communicate Safety Crew Leaders present safety topics during weekly field meetings with the entire crew. This includes landscape maintenance, irrigation and enhancement crews, as well as tree care services. Including questions during the meeting can help assure they understand the topic as well as maintain their interest. Incorporate "Q & A" especially with the photos provided which indicate the proper and improper scenarios for our operations. Meetings are documented using the "Weekly Safety Tailgate Meeting" form available in English or Spanish from the intranet and the Corporate Safety Manual. The completed report is submitted weekly by the Crew Leader to the Branch Safety Officer or Office Manager. On -site safety meetings should also be held more frequently with crews on the job site. During these visits general topics are also reviewed such as housekeeping, setting good examples, maintaining a safe work site and reviewing expectations for the site. Key Safety Topics Topics for discussion are issued by the Safety Officer or Office Manager from the weekly conference calls. Branch offices also include other information relating to the tasks currently being performed. Other topics may include "Working in Hot Weather" when temperatures and /or humidity are high, and "Hand Tool Safety" when planting and hand work is scheduled. Wearing a Seatbelt Avoids: • Safety citations and traffic violations. • ValleyCrest driver points which could lead to possible suspension of driving privileges. • Court and traffic school costs. • Injuries during an accident Most importantly wearing a seat belt improves your chance of returning home at the end of the day. Rider Mower Safety is Important: Mowing too close to sudden drop -offs, steep inclines, retaining walls or unstable ground surrounding ponds and drainage ditches can cause loss of traction and control. Making these choices can result in serious injuries or fatalities. "Driving in the Safety Zone" means staying clear of high -risk situations and hazards, like steep slopes and sudden drop -offs near water. The Timing of Safety Meetings is Important Meetings are conducted when all crewmembers can be brought together (i.e. when first starting work or just before lunch). Meetings are usually at the start of the workweek to set the tone for the rest of the week. These meetings are also a good time to review known dangers on the site as there may be new crew members and changing conditions on our jobsites. We ensure our branches are conducting effective weekly tailgate meetings. Participating with our crews is mandatory and encourages safe practices — these 15 - 20 minutes each week make a difference. The ValleyCrest Safety Department demonstrates our commitment to: • Provide a safe work environment and safety culture that places the highest level of value on the health and welfare of our employees. • Instill a sense of ownership and encourage excellence in all aspects of safety. • Provide safety and regulatory compliance training that insures our employees have the tools to perform in a safe and productive manner. • Promote safety as each employee's responsibility and endorse as a way of life at work and at home ....because it's the right thing to do. 1 1 lo TRAFFIC' T o- t • _ t City of Ocoee Equipment List Route Trucks Ford F150'/ Ton Pick Ups Ford F250 3 / Ton Pick Ups Ford F350 Trucks Ford F550 — F850 Trucks Ford Leaf Truck with 35 hp vacuum MOT Traffic Control signal Spray Trucks Ford 450 RC Spray Truck with 2 Lesco skid mounted sprayers -300 gallons, 600 gallons 50 gallon Lesco Sprayer Skid Mount Irrigation Truck Ford F250 SC XL Ford Van Dump Body Trucks Ford F450 Trucks Trailers Custom Built Equipment Trailer Weld Rite 16' Batwing Trailer 10' Flatbed Rayside 16'x6' Weld Rite 16'x6' 20' Enclosed Trailer Mower Equipment 24" Mower Push 36" Scag Walk behind Mowers 52" Scag Walk behind Mowers52" Scag Rider Mowers All equipment is less than five years Field Equipment Stihl Articulating shears Hand shears Straight shears Back pack sprayers Fertilizer spreaders Hand spreaders Walk behind spreaders Riding fertilizer spreaders Stihl Back pack blower Stihl String trimmer Stihl Edgers Turbine Buffalo Blower r �-J w Large Equipment (4 Polecat Aerial Lift (2) Kubota 8520 Loaders (5) Bandit 1590 Brush Chipper (1) Vermeer SC352 Stump Cutter (3) Skid Steer Loaders & 72" Utility Vehicle (8) John Deere Gators old and is on a regular preventive maintenance schedule.

Keller, District 4 Re: RFP #13 -001 — Landscaping, Landscape Maintenance and Mowing Services Bid Protest (the "Bid Protest ") by Maintain Landscaping ( "Maintain ") Dear Mr. Palcowski: The City is in receipt of your Bid Protest dated February 18, 2013. The Bid Protest was timely received in accordance with Section 10 of the General Terms and Conditions of RFP #13- 001 (the "RFP "). A copy of Section 10 of the RFP is attached hereto for reference. The Bid Protest has been reviewed by the City based on the standards set forth in the RFP. In considering the Bid Protest, the City has been cognizant of the requirements set forth in the RFP, as supplemented by Addendum No. 1 (the "Addendum ") to the RFP, which was available to Maintain via Demandstar as explained in Section H of the RFP. For the reasons set forth in this letter, the Bid Protest is DENIED by the City. City staff properly rejected Maintain's proposal (the "Proposal ") and declined to recommend that the City Commission award the contract contemplated by the RFP to Maintain because the Proposal did not sufficiently meet the requirements set forth in the RFP and the Addendum. Specifically, the Proposal did not include the revised Price Proposal form that was required to be included pursuant to the Addendum. The information that was to be provided on the revised Price Proposal form was necessary for the City to evaluate and compare all proposals received. Please be advised that City's staff s rejection of the Proposal was proper for the following reasons: 1. Section H of the RFP Instructions included on page 5 of the RFP provides that, "It shall be the responsibility of each respondent to obtain a copy of all issued Addenda." Prior to submitting the Proposal, it was Maintain's responsibility to ensure that it had received all necessary RFP documents, including the Addendum and the revised Price Proposal form City of Ocoee - 150 N Lakeshore Drive - Ocoee, Florida 34761 phone: (407) 905 -3100 - fax: (407) 656 -3501 - www.ci.ocoee.fl.us attached thereto, and that the Proposal complied with all requirements contained in the RFP and the Addendum. 2. In addition, Section H of the RFP Instructions provides: In case any Respondent fails to acknowledge receipt of any such Addendum in the space provided in the RFP documents, its bid will nevertheless be construed as though the Addendum had been received and acknowledged. Submission of a Proposal will constitute acknowledgement of receipt of the RFP Documents and all Addenda. As such, by submitting the Proposal, Maintain acknowledged receipt of all necessary RFP documents, including the Addendum and the revised Price Proposal form attached thereto. Additionally, it was proper for City staff to evaluate all proposals in light of all RFP requirements, including those contained in the Addendum, regardless of whether each prospective respondent actually received the Addendum. Accordingly, the Bid Protest is denied. Sincerely, e To bert Purchasing Agent Cc: Rob Frank, City Manager Craig Shadrix, Assistant City Manager Steve Krug, Public Works Director Wanda Horton, Finance Director Scott Cookson, City Attorney Tolbert, Joyce From: rickp @maintainlandscaping.com Sent: Monday, February 18, 2013 11:39 AM To: Tolbert, Joyce Subject: RFP #13 -001 In reference to Maintain Landscaping proposal for RFP #13 -001 for landscaping, landscape maintenance, and mowing service. Maintain Landscaping proposal was refused for an Addendum #1 Exhibit "C" that was not used in the bid package. The form that was used was from the original package. Other bidders that turned in a incomplete package or wrong forms are allowed to February 21 to amend their bid package. Due to the use of the wrong Exhibit "C" Maintain is not allowed to amend their package. With the use of the proper version, Maintain Landscaping bid pricing would not vary from the originally submitted. If other bid packages can be altered after the original submitting, Maintain Landscaping should be allowed to alter the package and submit the proper form since it would not effect our original proposed cost.

The Bid Protest was timely received in accordance with Section 10 of the General Terms and Conditions of RFP #13- 001 (the "RFP "). A copy of Section 10 of the RFP is attached hereto for reference.

City staff properly rejected Premier's proposal (the "Proposal ") and declined to recommend that the City Commission award the contract contemplated by the RFP to Premier because the Proposal did not sufficiently meet the requirements set forth in the RFP and the Addendum. Specifically, the Proposal did not meet the requirements found in Section 1 of RFP #13 -001, General Terms & Conditions, Bid Security. The requirements of this section could have been met by Premier providing one of the following: • a cashier's /certified check in the amount of One Thousand Dollars; or • a bid bond in an amount equal to One Thousand Dollars; or • documentation that Premier had been active with the Secretary of State for three (3) years.

For the foregoing reasons, the Bid Protest is denied. erely, Weo Purchasing Agent Cc: Rob Frank, City Manager Craig Shadrix, Assistant City Manager Steve King, Public Works Director Wanda Horton, Finance Director Scott Cookson, City Attorney Premier Lawn Maintenance February 19, 2013 City of Ocoee Joyce Tolbert, Purchasing Agent 150 N. Lakeshore Drive Ocoee, Fl. 34761 -2258 Dear Ms. Tolbert: Per our discussion on Monday, February 18, 2013, I am formally writing a Bid Protest to RFP #13 -001. As we discussed, I was considered non - responsive because I failed to include the $1,000.00 bid security deposit per the bid documents. My protest is due to the fact that several bidders were given a second chance to submit forms that they themselves have neglected to provide the city. Due to this matter I see no difference on a form being left out or my security deposit not included in the package. The reasoning that you informed me is that the forms were minor irregularities but again, what is the difference? I feel that this was not a fair action and because of this I would like to request for my bid to be included in the review and will provide the city with the bid security at once.
