EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a First Amendment to Agreement No. 18-7379, “Forest Lakes MSTU
Landscape Maintenance,” with Ground Zero Landscaping Services, Inc., to extend the agreement’s
termination date for an additional 180-day period through and including September 18, 2024.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: To secure continued on-going grounds & stormwater swales maintenance, landscaping, and
irrigation services within the Forest Lakes Municipal Service Taxing Unit (the “MSTU”), while a new competitive
solicitation for these services can be completed.
CONSIDERATIONS: On September 25, 2018, (Agenda Item 16D4), the Board approved Agreement No. 18-7379
(the “Agreement”) with Ground Zero Landscaping Services, Inc., to provide landscape maintenance services within
the MSTU with an initial term of three years, and two available one-year renewal terms.
The Procurement Division approved an administrative extension of the Agreement extending the term of the
Agreement through and including March 22, 2024. Staff is recommending that it is in the best interest of the
County to extend the Agreement for an additional 180-days to facilitate completion of planned swale work in the
MSTU and for the Procurement Division to conclude a competitive solicitation for replacement landscape services
in the MSTU, for which the Scope of Work has entailed material revisions to accurately identify the extent of
services required.
The attached proposed First Amendment to the Agreement extends the Agreement an additional 180-days, through
and including September 18, 2024. Approval will enable continuation of landscape maintenance services within
the MSTU at the existing Agreement prices.
This item is consistent with the Infrastructure and Asset Management element of Collier County’s Strategic Plan by
preparing for the impacts of natural disasters on our critical infrastructure and natural resources.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is available in, and is consistent with, the FY2024 Budget approved by the Board on
September 21, 2023. The source of funding is Forest Lakes Roadway and Drainage MSTU Fund (1626).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no direct impact to the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for Board
approval. -SRT
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve a First Amendment to Agreement No. 18-7379, “Forest Lakes
MSTU Landscape Maintenance,” with Ground Zero Landscaping Services, Inc., to extend the Agreement’s
termination date for an additional 180-day period through and including September 18, 2024, and authorize the
Chairman to sign the attached amendment.
