About this file

This is an interoffice procurement plan memo from the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) dated August 3, 2026, regarding Invitation for Bid (IFB) 260524 for landscaping services. The procurement utilizes an IFB approach based on selecting the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. The contract establishes a two-year initial term with one optional one-year renewal term. The document references an attached procurement schedule but does not specify response deadlines, site visit dates, or bidders' conference information within the memo itself.

The contract is structured as a firm-fixed price agreement with an initial term budget of $550,000 and a first option term budget of $288,755. The procurement includes prevailing wage requirements and is funded through local Measure M sources. Evaluation criteria are solely cost-based, weighted at 100 percent, with no separate scoring for qualifications, staffing, or work plans. An independent cost estimate has been received, and the requisition number is R001066. The contract includes a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal requirement. As-needed services are projected to represent less than 10 percent of total anticipated costs. Project Manager Christine Herrera and Section Manager Javier Lopez provided concurrence on August 4 and August 7, 2026, respectively.
