On August 25, 2015, the City received four bids for landscape maintenance services in Community Facilities District OR STA-B (CFD 97-1B). Funding for the contract is included within the budget for the CFD. Today's action is to accept the bids, award the contract to Aztec Landscaping, Inc. and authorize entering into landscape maintenance contract with the contractor.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity, consisting of accepting bids and awarding landscape maintenance contracts, for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposal consists of continuing city administrative/maintenance activities, which will not result in any adverse physical change or impact to the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15378(b)(2) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable.
