RE: Requesting Extension and CPI Increase for Tree Maintenance Agreement # 3476
Mr. Trujillo,
Great Scott Tree Service Inc. (GSTS) is respectfully requesting an extension to the current tree maintenance agreement
between the City of El Segundo and GSTS. The original contract terms commenced May 3, 2005 and terminate
September 30, 2009. Along with this, we are requesting a price increase in the amount of 25% to the current City of El
Segundo tree maintenance contract schedule of compensation, and options for annual CPI increases thereafter.
We would like to propose the following extension option:
Terms: The City of El Segundo and Great Scott Tree Service Inc, agree to extend the term of this
Agreement for two (2) years commencing on October 1, 2009 and ending on September 31, 2011,
with three (3) one (1) year renewal periods to be renewed upon mutual consent of the parties
ending September 31, 2014.
CPI Increase: During the contract period, an automatic annual increase equal to the average percentage variant
for the previous twelve (12) months in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and
Clerical Workers (CPI -W) for the Los Angeles area, not to exceed 5 %, will be granted on the
annual anniversary of the contract. Should the Consumer Price Index reflect a negative
percentage, the prior year schedule of compensation will carry into the subsequent fiscal year.
GSTS has provided a competitive rate, and we believe that our service speaks for itself. However, our prices have been
forced to increase with the cost increases in the economy. We consider ourselves employees of the City during the
duration of our contract. Therefore, we are requesting that you extend the same courtesy to us, as you do to your city
employees.
We are enclosing supporting documentation that reflects the requested increase, which includes a modified schedule of
compensation with a cost comparison showing the original bid amount and the proposed increase amount.
We value our longstanding relationship with The City of El Segundo, and look forward to continuing our services in the
community. We want to thank you in advance for your attentiveness regarding this issue.
Should you have any questions or additional concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at 714- 826 -1750.
Sincerely
Sco P n iths
