It was reported that bougainvillea have been affected by caterpillars and that CLM is to treat the project for caterpillars. There was discussion on the appearance of the Doral Circle area due to the Public Utilities project which is currently under construction. It was decided that both staff(Darryl Richard) and Consultant(Mike McGee) be present during the final inspection for the Public Utilities Project on Doral Circle to make sure that anything related to the MSTU is done. Mr. McGee reviewed the estimate provided by CLM for plantings at both ends of median #15 on Pebble Beach Boulevard. The proposed project entails planting of Bromeliads of two different varieties. There will be plantings of Bromeliad"Neoregilia Johannis" in the inner island & Bromeliad Neoregilia"Super Fireball" at the edges surrounding the plantings. The 2 mulch material will be "Vita Mulch"©that is recommended in that it contains a high percentage of nutrients. Mr. Richard noted that the Vita Mulch is a new type of mulch material that is now being used by other MSTU's and will create a visual contrast with the plantings—in that the Vita Mulch is `darker' in color than standard mulch material typically used on roadway landscaping. There was discussion in review of the quantities noted in CLM's estimate and that some of the quantities required adjustment. After review it was determined that the estimate for $1,820 as submitted should actually be for$2,400.00 after adjustments to the quantities.
