GENERAL a) Irrigation shall be done using automatic sprinkler systems where available and operable. However, failure of an existing irrigation system to provide full and proper coverage shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility to provide adequate irrigation with full and proper coverage to all areas within the work site. Providing full and adequate coverage may require hand watering, a station master, a battery backup, or a water tender. This type of watering may be billed as an extra on a case-by-case basis depending upon the circumstances. Failure to comply with this specification resulting in loss of plant material will be subject to the remedies in section 4.21, Replacement of Landscape Materials & City Property. Field controllers are installed for scheduling. The field controllers communicate with a central computer to receive daily evapotranspiration data. b) The irrigation schedule for each controller will be set by the City’s Water Management Team along with Docusign Envelope ID: DB114B75-F617-49AF-A1A5-D292351DC17F The City of Rancho Cucamonga Request for Proposal (“RFP”) #25/26-004 for Landscape and Irrigation Maintenance for LMD 1 Parks Page 37 of 60 regular input from the Contractor's account manager. The elements of the schedule to be set by City Staff are days of the week to irrigate, start times, finish times, minutes per cycle, soak in times, demand and percentage of daily evapo-transpiration per station and assignment of stations to programs. These settings will be done within the guidelines established by the City. c) The Contractor will be expected to use the absolute minimum amounts of water in all areas required to maintain healthy plant growth. With regular required Contractor input, the Water Management Team will adjust the soil depletion numbers and percentages of evapo-transpiration for each station on the field controller to ensure that the zone covered by each station is not too dry or too wet. d) The Contractor shall periodically inspect the operation of the systems for any malfunction. The Contractor shall maintain all sprinkler systems, at no additional cost to the City, in such a way as to guarantee proper coverage and full working capability; and make whatever adjustments may be necessary (including raising the sprinkler heads to the proper height) in order to provide proper irrigation to plants and to prevent excessive runoff into street rights-of-way or other areas not meant to be irrigated. e) The periodic inspections may occur more often, but not less frequently than one inspection each week. No watering shall be done during the day unless approved by the Public Works Services Director. The Contractor must provide adequate personnel to observe any irrigation system operations during the day. f) In addition to the weekly inspections, written quarterly irrigation system reports will also be required for each landscape site in the contract. Reports shall include but are not limited to the following information: name of inspector, site number, date, recommended schedule changes, recommended upgrades, soil moisture and depth, repairs made, repairs needed, overall coverage and distribution, and overall condition of the turf, planters, and trees. Reports shall be attached to the monthly routine billing and will be required for monthly payment. g) Sprinkler heads will be kept clear of overgrowth that may obstruct operation. Chemical edging with herbicides around turf heads will not be permitted.

TURF AREAS Turf areas shall be irrigated as required to maintain acceptable growth and color. Turf areas shall be maintained using the least amount of water possible. These low water use specifications will cause some slight stress. However, if horticultural programs such as regular aerification, correct mower heights, proper fertility, weed control, and required system maintenance/programming is implemented, the stress should be mild enough for the turf plants to recover quickly when irrigated. Irrigation shall be applied in such a manner as to reduce runoff yet provide deep watering to promote deep rooting and improved drought resistance. 4.3.7.4. NEW PLANT MATERIALS Newly planted trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf shall receive adequate and regular attention until these plants are established. Adequate water shall be applied to promote normal, healthy growth. Proper berms or basins shall be maintained during the establishment period.

STORM DEBRIS CLEANUP The City of Rancho Cucamonga is subject to frequent wind, rain, and other types of storms. The storms cause an accumulation of debris on the contracted sites. The debris includes such items as downed trees, limbs, leaves, tumbleweeds, trash, and soil deposits. Because it is impractical to perform routine maintenance operations during and immediately following these storms, the Contractor shall promptly remove the debris such that routine maintenance operations are practical. Because the Contractor is removing debris in lieu of routine maintenance, the removal is at no extra charge to the City. In the case of an excessive accumulation of debris that is attributable to another agency, such as blown sand from a recently graded site, the City will act to have the responsible agency remove the debris. The cost for replanting new plant material to replace storm damaged plant material that cannot be repaired will be an extra. Emergency Storm Work Documentation and Tracking: All costs borne by the City for emergency storm clean-up work may be subject to re-imbursement through government disaster funds. In the event of an emergency, the City could easily be eligible for Federal, State, or local funds and therefore all costs that are storm related including labor, rentals and materials that are charged to the City shall be recorded and billed separately and labeled/dated as emergency related. In addition, since labor will be shifted away from routine work, all the shifted routine labor shall be tracked and recorded as emergency related since emergency labor may also be reimbursable. Once the Contractor returns to normal operations, the Contractor will be required to send a report outlining the shifted routine labor used during the emergency.

EVALUATION AND CONTRACTOR SELECTION PROCESS 5.1. INITIAL SCREENING All RFP responses will undergo an initial review to determine responsiveness to the instructions herein. Those RFP responses initially determined to be responsive by meeting the RFP requirement as indicated herein will proceed to the next phase of the evaluation process. 5.2. EVALUATION ACTIVITIES RFP responses deemed as having met the standard RFP requirements as indicated herein are then evaluated by an Evaluation Committee. The RFP submittals are scored and assigned a ranking of zero (0) through ten (10), ten being the highest possible score. The following criteria have been assigned percentages that the criteria will be scored against, based upon but not limited to the following evaluation criteria factors: Docusign Envelope ID: DB114B75-F617-49AF-A1A5-D292351DC17F The City of Rancho Cucamonga Request for Proposal (“RFP”) #25/26-004 for Landscape and Irrigation Maintenance for LMD 1 Parks Page 49 of 60 Criteria Criteria Description Assigned Percentage Contractor Expertise 10 Quality of proposed services or goods 15 Extent to which the Contractors services or goods meet the City ’s needs 25 Cost 15 Contractor’s history and resources available to provide the required services 15 Experience and professional qualifications of staff 20 5.3. COST EVALUATION Cost Proposals are evaluated and scored based on the following calculations. Score = Lowest Proposal Cost / Cost of Proposal being scored X Maximum Points Available (10) The score is then added to the spreadsheet criteria scores. 5.4. REFERENCE CHECKS If determined to be required reference checks are conducted by the Procurement Division and the requesting department may or may not be present during the process. The reference checks may be conducted by phone with the information being scribed or conducted by a written form, submitted to the Contractor’s reference contact. Reference contacts will be asked several predetermined questions for response and to provide a score from one (1) to ten (10), ten being the highest. Scores are then tabulated and added to the spreadsheet with the criteria scores. It is imperative that Contractors provide up to date and accurate information regarding contact information for reference checks. All scores are then tabulated into the final Contractor ranking. Evaluators do not see the Contractor References or pricing line items. The proposed pricing is evaluated by the Procurement Division during the initial review of the RFP response, only to ensure that the proposed cost is not over the City ’s budgeted amount or Not-to-Exceed amount for the project.

The following components outline how we maintain excellence at every stage of the project. Quality Control Aspect How It Ensures Excellence Work-in-Process Inspections Account Managers conduct initial and ongoing inspections of work tasks to ensure compliance with quality standards. Non-conformances are logged and addressed immediately. Systematic Problem Resolution Issues are contained and corrected promptly, with solutions that include repair, replacement, or rework. Completed work is re-inspected to prevent recurrence. Management Monitoring Supervisors oversee operations to ensure adherence to quality plans, leveraging structured problem-solving methods and enhanced process controls.

This approach ensures timely resolution, fosters client confidence, and promotes transparent communication by tracking progress and accountability. 3 4 Docusign Envelope ID: DB114B75-F617-49AF-A1A5-D292351DC17F Safety • Teamwork • Quality • Integrity 15 Project with similar scope of work Mariposa Landscapes has experience in doing similar scopes of services listed at the following locations: 1.

Many times, situations arise where it is difficult to come up with a cost ahead of time. We solve that issue with the following: Our process is designed to ensure clarity and professionalism, founded on the principles of Simplicity, Transparency, Honesty, and No Surprises. If an issue arises that alters the scope of the original estimate, we will revise the proposal accordingly and resubmit it for client approval. The updated proposal will include clear explanations and supporting documentation, such as photos. Work will not proceed until the client has reviewed and approved the revised scope and associated costs, ensuring full agreement before moving forward. 4-Step Pricing Process 1. The scope of work is identified, and a "Not-to-Exceed" proposal is prepared. 2. The customer reviews and approves the proposal. 3. Work proceeds, with labor tracked and receipts documented. 4. Billing will never exceed the original proposal and will be either equal to or less than the proposed amount. The sample proposal to the right pertains to an irrigation-related project, where multiple valves require replacement due to damage sustained in an auto accident.

At Mariposa Landscapes, we have implemented thorough and continuous safety training for all our employees. We have specially designed intensive training programs for new and onboarding employees that include both on-site training and classroom sessions. Furthermore, all employees are required to participate in ongoing training sessions to prevent accidents, ensure the safe handling of equipment, and develop their judgment in anticipating hazards before they occur. Additionally, on new sites or sites new to the employees, a supervisor conducts site-specific risk prevention training focusing on the most frequent hazards and risks known to the site and region. Employee Training & Supervision Our safety program is built on thorough employee training and supervision, with the main objective to ensure a safe work environment through well-prepared personnel. Training begins within the first 3 days of employment, following a structured agenda that covers orientation, safety basics, equipment and chemical safety, and practical training and review. This initial training covers the use of equipment, chemicals, supplys, and protective gear. To maintain high safety standards, ongoing training is provided weekly and bi-monthly, ensuring all employees stay up-to-date with the latest safety protocols. Training in the Use of Supplies, Chemicals and Equipment We divide this training session into the following modules: Supplies & Chemicals Equipment Safety Basics All exposed employees receive training on chemical safety fundamentals, including hazard identification, labeling systems, proper storage, and interpreting Safety Data Sheets to understand chemical properties and risks. Familiarization This training covers the proper use of equipment, including chainsaws, hedge trimmers, edgers, blowers, mowers, and trailers, with an overview of each machine's functions, common uses, and associated risks. Safe Handling Comprehensive guidelines are established for safely handling herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, and cleaning agents. Employees are trained on safe mixing, application, storage, correct application rates, and the importance of proper ventilation. Operational Safety This session covers the safe operation of equipment, including start-up, shutdown, proper use, and safety checks. It focuses on recognizing and avoiding hazards like chainsaw kickback, trimmer debris, and mower rollover risks. Emergency Training includes protocols for spills, leaks and exposure incidents so employees can act quickly and mitigate risks in a timely manner. Maintenance & Inspection In this module we cover instruction on routine and maintenance tasks, such as sharpening blades, changing oil and inspecting and recognizing wear and tear.

All trainers have undergone certification from recognized agencies such as the California Department of Pesticide Regulation and the American Heart Association. Trainers are selected based on their expertise and ability to communicate effectively. Figure 3: Mandatory PPE for our Staff Protective Equipment Our PPE program includes detailed instructions on the types of protective equipment required for various tasks, as well as proper usage techniques and maintenance procedures to ensure equipment stays effective. We follow strict internal protective equipment protocols and conduct regular unannounced site inspection to verify that all PPE is in good condition and worn properly. All employees must wear PPE listed in Figure 3. Workers wear appropriate PPEs as needed, where job safety requires it. Ongoing Training Ongoing and continuous training are of great importance to our company. We hold weekly meetings designed to keep employees updated on specific seasonal hazards (for instance, when we have noticed an increase in snake sightings), new equipment, site-specific risks or updated safety practices regarding chemicals or equipment used. Our supervisors hold regular evaluations to reinforce safety protocols and accident prevention but also to improve performance. Aside from our weekly meetings, we hold bi-monthly long-format sessions which last from 2-3 hours and provide insights, feedback and learnings from new job sites and new site challenges. In these sessions, new materials and chemicals are being discussed and introduced to the team. Equipment training courses are often held separately or in smaller groups. Supervisors and trainers conduct daily inspections to identify and reduce potential hazards, ensuring compliance with safety procedures. Their checklists cover proper PPE usage and protocols, equipment condition, chemical storage, and work zone setup. All findings and learnings are then discussed in our bi-monthly meeting and focus on areas where improvements can be made. Employees are encouraged to provide feedback on safety practices, helping to identify new hazards and refine training programs.

We operate a comprehensive recycling program for green waste and paper products, which is enforced at both our local offices and all job sites. Our company currently uses hybrid vehicles and is actively researching and pursuing the adoption of hybrid equipment for use on our contracts. We are committed to being as environmentally responsible as possible and are continuously expanding our operations to meet this goal. Mariposa Landscapes has earned certification from the American Green Zone Alliance under the Sustainable Land Care Certification (Electric Equipment). This certification ensures we are at the forefront of industry advancements, selecting cost-effective solutions with the latest commercial-grade electric small equipment. We collaborate closely with clients to optimize water usage wherever possible. With hundreds of ET “Smart” Controller installations over the years, we are proficient in assessing properties for water-saving opportunities, providing tailored solutions, and programming these advanced irrigation devices for maximum efficiency. Beyond these initiatives, we remain committed to leading the industry in minimizing environmental impact and advancing sustainable practices. The key points of its strategy to achieve this are: • Minimize waste by evaluating operations and ensuring they are as efficient as possible. • Minimize toxic emissions through the selection and use of its fleet and equipment. • Actively promote recycling both internally and amongst its customers and suppliers. • Meet or exceed all the environmental legislation that relates to the Company. • Adhere to all local codes and ordinances regarding water conservation. Docusign Envelope ID: DB114B75-F617-49AF-A1A5-D292351DC17F Safety • Teamwork • Quality • Integrity 37 Integrated Pest Management Program Integrated pest management (IPM) is an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a combination of techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and use of resistant varieties. Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates they are needed according to established guidelines, and treatments are made with the goal of removing only the target organism. Pest control materials are selected and applied in a manner that minimizes risks to human health, beneficial and non-target organisms, and the environment. Biological Control Biological control is the use of natural enemies—predators, parasites, pathogens, and competitors—to control pests and their damage. Though Mariposa does not introduce any beneficial organisms into the environment, we do identify and encourage their presence. Cultural Controls Cultural controls are practices that reduce pest establishment, reproduction, dispersal, and survival. For example, changing irrigation practices can reduce pest problems, since too much water can increase root disease and weeds. Mechanical & Physical Controls Mechanical and physical controls kill a pest directly or make the environment unsuitable for it. Traps for rodents are examples of mechanical control. Physical controls include mulches for weed management, steam sterilization of the soil for disease management, or barriers such as screens to keep birds or insects out. Chemical Controls Chemical control is the use of pesticides. Mariposa Landscapes uses pesticides only when needed and in combination with other approaches for more effective, long-term control. Also, pesticides are selected and applied in a way that minimizes their possible harm to people and the environment. With IPM we use the most selective pesticide that will do the job and be the safest for other organisms and for air, soil, and water quality.

Startups within 30 days may face supply chain delays, so we prefer a 60 to 90-day lead time. During this period, we may have meetings with the client to introduce the team and review the schedule. We also use this time to prepare area maps, take measurements, and order necessary materials like fertilizer, weed control products, and other supplies. Job Start On the first day of the project, our crews will be equipped with detailed maps, task lists, and an initial schedule. Our management team is actively involved in logistics at this stage. We also conduct a thorough inspection of the irrigation systems with our technicians. If any issues, such as broken or inoperative components, are identified, we will create a detailed list of required repairs, including pricing and a completion schedule for the customer. 30-Day Evaluation At the 30-day mark, we will hold a special evaluation meeting with the customer. This meeting addresses aspects of the project that may not have been fully outlined in the scope or specifications, such as customized timelines, work sequences, and specific site needs. We will review the progress so far, identify successes, and discuss any areas requiring adjustment. The customer will receive an action plan with clear timelines for any necessary changes, along with an updated irrigation system inspection. 60-Day Evaluation By the 60-day point, we expect operations to be running smoothly and in line with expectations. We will conduct a customer survey to assess their experience with the proposal process, the transition to operations, and overall job performance. Our goal is to achieve the highest satisfaction score possible and ensure complete customer satisfaction. 90-Day Evaluation At the 90-day mark, the customer will receive a survey with a single question: "Would you recommend Mariposa Landscapes to other customers right now?" Our goal is to receive an enthusiastic “Yes” response, confirming their satisfaction and confidence in our services.
