Six companies attended the non-mandatory pre-bid meeting held on <br /> October 18, 2012. On October 26, 2012, proposals were received from five companies. The <br /> Purchasing Services Manager and staff from the Parks Division reviewed proposals for format and <br /> content, including qualifications, experience, equipment and price. A short list was prepared and <br /> interviews were conducted with the top two companies—Azteca Landscape of Ontario and Inland <br /> Empire Landscape, Inc. of San Bernardino. Based on the interviews and evaluation of the <br /> proposals, staff entered into contract negotiations with Inland Empire Landscape, Inc. <br /> Under the proposed Agreement and the provisions of RFP No. 1355, Inland Empire will be <br /> responsible for providing mowing and edging services at the following parks: Bobby Bonds, <br /> Bordwell, Bryant, Carlson, EI Dorado, Fairmount and Villegas. The Agreement is for the period of <br /> January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013, at a monthly rate of $8,050. <br /> The Purchasing Services Manager concurs with the recommendation above. <br /> 38-1 <br />
