Council to Consider 5 Contracts Tonight

The City Council tonight will consider awarding five separate contracts for services ranging from traffic engineering to maintenance of 42 acres of park turf.

The city staff is recommending a $40,000 annual contract with Warren C. Siecke Transportation and Traffic Engineering Services. The Yorba Linda company would provide traffic and general engineering services as city engineer.

The council also will consider contracting with Mariposa Horticultural Enterprises Inc. of Irwindale to maintain 29 acres of medians, parkways, the Civic Center and four parks at a cost of about $9,200 a month.

S.C. Yamamoto Inc. of La Habra is recommended to maintain landscaped areas in the La Jolla neighborhood at a cost of about $396 a month.

To mow a total of 42 acres at nine city parks, the city staff is recommending Professional Landscape Enterprises of Yorba Linda, which was the low bidder at $4,600 a month.

By contracting out the mowing, the city will free municipal workers for full-time maintenance duty at Placentia Champions Sports Complex, officials said. The sports fields must be in top condition for regular season play, tournaments and special events, staff said.

For traffic signal and safety lighting maintenance citywide, Computer Services Co. of Anaheim is recommended at about $18,800 a year.

The council will meet at 7:30 p.m. in chambers, 401 E. Chapman Ave. Information: (714) 993-8231.
