6. Discussion and Background
The City currently has an active agreement with Bio Aquatics Lake Management LLC (Bio Aquatics), to provide lake, pond, and stream maintenance services at Eisenhower Park. Eisenhower Park is a destination park, primarily due to the value the lake, pond, and stream contribute to the overall character of the park. Proper maintenance of the water features is important in providing a clean and safe aquatic environment for wildlife (including fish, turtles, birds, etc.), fishing, and the enjoyment of all park visitors. The Community and Library Services Department maintain the lake, pond, and stream through contracted services.
The current agreement for lake, pond, and stream maintenance services, which was previously renewed and extended via a First Amendment, expires June 30, 2026. Approval of this second amendment will allow the City’s current contractor, Bio Aquatics, to continue to provide lake, pond, and stream maintenance services from July 1, 2026 until June 30, 2027. Upon approval of the proposed second amendment, staff intends to begin preparing a Request for Bids document to solicit competitive quotes for contractual services at the culmination of this term to ensure continuity of service.
The total amount for this second amendment is $42,020, which includes $38,200 for services plus a 10 percent contingency of $3,820 for unforeseen lake maintenance repairs that may be needed. The amendment will be funded by the General Fund (100). Sufficient funding for this amendment has been programmed in the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 operating budget. Approval of this amendment will increase the aggregate agreement total to an amount not to exceed $120,175.
