BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Parks, Beaches and Pier Division of the Public Works Department provides maintenance services to 46 Park and City facilities, 25 play structures, 27 public restroom buildings, 57 street median and parkway locations. It also services Lifeguard Headquarters, the Oceanside Pier and also manages the City's Tree program which has over 40,000 City owned trees. In addition to providing daily maintenance services, staff also manages large and complex landscape maintenance service contracts, a janitorial contract, arboriculture and tree pruning contracts. Daily maintenance of the City parks and facilities is divided and performed by nine full time staff members. Irrigation repair work is one of the largest maintenance tasks and continues to be a maintenance challenge. Due to the considerable amount of facilities, any malfunction, damage, or vandalism, which often occurs, prevents staff from addressing other required maintenance items.
On May 18, 2022, the City Council approved a Landscape Maintenance Agreement for the maintenance of Parks, Beach Parks, Beach Accesses and Facilities with Mariposa Landscapes, Inc., in the annual amount of $1,023,648. On August 9, 2023, the City Council approved Amendment 1 for additional irrigation repair and maintenance and operations services in the amount of $210,216.
