FINANCE COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM 3.1
TO: Mayor and Town Council September 19, 2023
SUBJECT: Authorize execution of a contract with Brightview Landscape Services,
Inc. for dog park grass replacement
BACKGROUND
The Town maintains the high quality Canine Corral dog park at Hap Magee Ranch Park,
which is consistently rated as the top dog park in the East Bay. Each year, the dog park is
closed for the annual winter moratorium from December 1 through March 1. During this
time, maintenance activities are completed to have the dog park in great condition for the
other nine months of the year. The primary maintenance activity during this time is the
replacement of approximately 16,500 square feet of grass within the larg e dog park, as
the extensive use it receives throughout the year results in a considerable amount of wear
and tear.
DISCUSSION
The Town recently solicited bids for the grass replacement project and received two
proposals. Of those, Brightview Landscape Services, Inc. provided the lowest responsive
bid at $26,527.65. In addition to furnishing and installing the new sod, irrigation system
adjustments and repairs will be completed and soil enhancer will be rototilled into the
soil before it is re-graded for the sod. Brightview Landscape Services, Inc. has completed
this work for the Town each of the previous two years.
It is recommended that the Finance Committee authorize execution of a contract for
$26,527.65 with Brightview Landscape Services, Inc. for the dog park grass replacement.
Sufficient funds are available within the Town’s Capital Improvement Program, CIP B -
400.
