<br /> <br />CITY MANAGER <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />The Honorable Mayor Goff and City ~sioners <br /> <br /> <br />Eugene Miller, Interim City Managz. ~/~ <br /> <br /> <br />January 16, 2007 2 <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Resolution 07-1756 - Standard Consultant Agreement with Concepts in <br />Greenery, Inc. for Professional Continuing Landscaping and Irrigation Design <br />and Installation Services <br /> <br />Introduction: The Public Works Department issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ 2006-02) for <br />Professional Landscaping and Irrigation Design and Installation Services which was advertised in the <br />Orlando Sentinel on January 15, 2006. The purpose of the RFQ was to select firms that were <br />qualified to meet City standards and enter into an agreement with up to three (3) of them to bid on <br />future City projects outlined within the scope of the agreement. <br /> <br />Backl!round: The City received, reviewed and ranked three (3) proposals. One company, <br />Groundteck of Central Florida, did not meet the City's specifications and was disqualified. The two <br />remaining proposals, submitted by Concepts in Greenery, Inc., and Southern Landscaping & <br />Irrigation Systems, Inc., were both responsive, responsible, and adequate for any landscaping and <br />irrigation project the City may require. <br /> <br />Discussion: Although responses to the RFQ were originally received in March, 2006, the Standard <br />Consultant Agreements were never presented to the City Commission for execution due to changes in <br />Public Works personnel. Both firms remain qualified and the Agreement is submitted at this time for <br />Commission consideration. Public Works Department will benefit from the availability of these <br />services, as well as other City departments that may use their services where required. <br /> <br />Budl!et Impact: Because the execution of a Standard Consultant Agreement does not obligate the <br />City financially, there is no impact to the current budget at this time. <br /> <br />Recommendation: The City Manager and Public Works Director have reviewed the Agreement as <br />presented herein and recommend its approval. <br /> <br />Prepared by: Phyllis Wallace, Special Projects Coordinator <br /> <br />Reviewed by: Ed Torres, P.E., Director of Public Works <br /> <br />Attachments: Resolution 07- 1756 <br />Standard Consultant Agreement - Concepts in Greenery, Inc. <br /> <br />/1- E <br />
