About this file
This file consists of email correspondence regarding a safety specification review for a landscaping services contract being re-procured by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in California. The contract is for landscaping services with a budget of $550,000 for a two-year initial term and is subject to prevailing wage requirements. The scope of work has been expanded since the previous procurement to include OC Streetcar locations. Erik Earnest was consulted to confirm whether Level 2 Safety Specifications remain sufficient for the updated scope, and he confirmed in April 2026 that Level 2 specifications were adequate. However, by August 2026, Ellis Hoskin requested a re-evaluation from Erik Earnest to determine if Level 2 safety specifications continue to be appropriate, noting that the Health and Safety Engineering and Compliance (HSEC) team was still conducting their review of the updated scope of work.
The correspondence indicates this is a competitive bid procurement handled by the OCTA's Contracts Administration and Materials Management (CAMM) division with a focus on safety compliance. The contract represents a re-procurement of existing landscaping services, suggesting there is an incumbent contractor or previous scope of work to reference. The addition of OC Streetcar locations to the service area appears to be a material change to the original contract scope that necessitated safety specification review and confirmation before the invitation for bids could be finalized.

Hi Erik, As you are aware the attached SOW is being re-procured.
Please review the updated SOW (I believe HSEC is still reviewing) and advise if Level 2 is still sufficient.
