Landscape Maintenance Services for Zone 1 - Parks, Retention Basins
and Sports Fields for the Parks, Recreation and Commercial Facilities
Department (PCRF) (Districts 5 and 6)
The current contract for maintenance at the Eastmark Park expires on

special provisions and requirements.
Parks, Recreation and Commercial Facilities, and Purchasing recommend
authorizing a change order and a dollar-limit increase of $77,347.62 with

activities at park-and-rides and the Sycamore Transit Center currently
being performed under a Facilities Maintenance contract and an
agreement with Valley Metro. This change should result in a general fund
savings of $24,018 for FY15. Staff anticipates additional cost savings to
the City through better use of City resources by minimizing the number of
staff monitoring the various contracts and enhanced contract monitoring
and accountability.
Transit Services and Purchasing recommend authorizing a dollar-limit
increase of $52,410.00 with A Mind for Detail, Inc., dba AMFD (a Mesa
business), increasing the contract amount from $264,285.00 to
