Progress Payment #4 in the amount of $497,923.71 due to Martinez Landscape Company, Inc. of Sylmar, CA for General Maintenance (Project # 22-05).

 

Staff recommends that the City Council approve this Progress Payment #4 to Martinez Landscape Company, Inc. of Sylmar, CA.
 

This contract covers a wide range of important maintenance services, including the City's Weed Abatement Project, general landscape upkeep, and key tasks like concrete and asphalt repair, sidewalk, curb, and gutter replacements. It also includes essential tree planting, removal, and maintenance along major corridors such as Hawthorne Blvd, Prairie Ave, Inglewood Ave, and Imperial Hwy. In addition, this payment supports bulky item pickups and extensive sidewalk improvements. These services help keep our neighborhoods safe, clean, and visually appealing. Sidewalk repairs support pedestrian safety and ADA access, bulky item pickups help reduce illegal dumping, and ongoing weed and median maintenance not only improve the city's appearance but also reduce fire hazards and support environmental health. All of this work is designed to complement efforts by City staff and ensure our public spaces are well-maintained for the entire community.
 

Maintaining clean, safe, and accessible public spaces boosts property values and encourages private investment in surrounding neighborhoods. These improvements also attract businesses and visitors, helping to stimulate local spending and support job growth.

None. Funds for this payment in the amount of $497,923.71 are available in the adopted Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget and will be paid for with approved and allocated funds from Proposition C, Measure R and Non-Gas Tax Funds.
