"piggybacking" on similar contracts entered into by another city pursuant to that city's
purchasing program when, in the opinion of the purchasing manager, doing so is more
cost efficient; and

its purchasing program, the City of Upland awarded a contract for tree care and
maintenance services to West Coast Arborists, Inc.; and

the City which provides the same general unit pricing and scope of services as set forth
