responsible for cleaning over 200 vacant lots, easements, and storm drain
channels. In order to do so, a contract for weed and debris removal for
both public and private properties is required. Removing the weeds and
debris will enhance the safety and visual appearance of the areas
maintained by the PWA.

The lowest responsive bid was submitted by Naranj 0 Landscape, which has
successfully performed the FY 05-06 abatement contract for the City. The
variance in price between the bid from Midori Gardens, a Santa Ana vendor,
and Naranj 0 Landscape is due almost entirely to higher quoted disposal
fees. Staff contacted Midori Gardens and they stand by their bid. Since
