Tate Avenue Landscape and Irrigation Median Enhancements from Clean Scapes Enterprise Inc. for the Parks and Recreation Department. Funds are available in the Permanent Capital Maintenance Fund (Parks) for an amount not to exceed $76,032. As part of the City's ongoing efforts to enhance and beautify key corridors, staff identified the William D. Tate Avenue medians for landscape and irrigation renovation. The existing plant material and irrigation infrastructure have reached the end of their useful life and require replacement to maintain the high standards of Grapevine's streetscape aesthetics. The proposed improvements will refresh these medians with updated plant selections, improved irrigation efficiency, and a more sustainable design approach consistent with other recent median enhancement projects across the City. Because this work constitutes a renovation, and not routine maintenance, it falls outside the scope of services provided by the City's contracted landscape maintenance vendor. To ensure competitive pricing and quality workmanship, staff solicited informal quotes in accordance with the City's Purchasing Policy. Formal bids and advertisements are not required for purchases under $100,000 per Senate Bill 1173, effective September 1, 2025. Three qualified vendors submitted quotes for the landscape and irrigation work. 1. Landscape Quotes: Clean Scapes Enterprises Inc. - $34,421 Earthworks - $38,611 Superscapes Landscape & Lawn - $45,135 2. Irrigation Quotes: Clean Scapes Enterprises Inc. - $41,611 Earthworks - No Bid Superscapes Landscape & Lawn - $42,870 Clean Scapes Enterprises Inc. submitted the lowest responsive quotes for both scopes of work, meeting all specifications and providing the best overall value to the City for a total (for both bids) of $76,032. Staff recommends approval. TK/LW/TM
