Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to amend Contract No. 35550 with Parkwood Landscape Maintenance, Inc., of Van Nuys, CA, to provide landscaping services for Queensway Bay, to increase the annual contract amount by $341,785, inclusive of a 15 percent contingency, for a total annual contract amount not to exceed $1,098,357.
