A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND
BAR APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
EXECUTE A MULTI -YEAR MAINTENANCE SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH WEST COAST ARBORIST, INC. (WCA) FOR TREE
MAINTENANCE SERVICES.
WHEREAS, State Law requires the City to adopt procedures for the purchase of
supplies, equipment and services by ordinance, but otherwise provides the City with
significant flexibility to tailor its ordinance to meet the City's needs; and
WHEREAS, the City has adopted a Purchasing Ordinance (Chapter 3.24 of the
Diamond Bar Municipal Code) meeting State law requirements; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3.24.090(f) of the Purchasing Ordinance, the City
Council may authorize the City to purchase supplies, equipment or services by
"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
WHEREAS, in 2023, following a competitive bid process conducted pursuant to its
purchasing program, the City of Norco awarded a contract for tree care and maintenance
services to West Coast Arborists, Inc.; and
WHEREAS, West Coast Arborists, Inc. has agreed to enter into a contract with the
City which provides the same general unit pricing and scope of services as set forth in
West Coast Arborists' contract with the City of Norco; and
WHEREAS, the purchasing manager has determined that entering into a contract
with West Coast Arborists, Inc. under such terms and conditions is more cost efficient
than following the formal bidding process set forth in the Purchasing Ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Diamond Bar does hereby find and determine as follows:
1. Based on the information provided by the City's purchasing manager, the City
Council finds that entering into an agreement with West Coast Arborists, Inc. for
tree care and maintenance services according to the same terms and conditions
as to price of the services as procured by the City of Norco is more cost-efficient
and in the best interest of the City.
2. The Maintenance Services Agreement between the City of Diamond Bar and West
Coast Arborists, Inc. incorporated herein by reference ("Agreement") is hereby
approved and the City Manager is hereby authorized to execute the Agreement on
behalf of the City.
