RECOMMENDATION
title

body
BACKGROUND
Brightview Landscaping Services, Inc. has been a vendor for Napa County for multiple years. This agreement adds the Napa County Detention and Rehabilitation Center as an additional service location and adds contract language to conform to State of California lease revenue bond requirements. This agreement provides landscape maintenance services including moving and edging, fertilization, disease control, insect control and weed control. The agreement expires on June 30, 2027.
The State of California pledged $22.8 million in funding for the construction of the replacement jail through SB844 ($20 million) and SB 863 ($2.8 million) legislation. On November 5, 2025, the State of California closed on its 2025 Series C tax-exempt Lease Revenue Bond sale to support these two legislative commitments for Napa County and other projects through the state. The Series C issuance partly funded the construction of the new Napa County Detention and Rehabilitation Center.
As part of the Due Diligence process proceeding with the sale of the bonds, the State’s bond counsel reviewed contracts that the Corrections Department currently had in effect and reviewed services that the department intended to contract for in the future. Some vendors were deemed to have a third-party interest in the facility. In instances where a third-party interest may exist, the State provided staff with boilerplate language to incorporate in its contracts.
The new contract language allows the State Public Works Board, Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC), or the County of Napa to cancel the contract, without cause or penalty, with 50 days’ notice. In addition to the vendor and County signing the contract, a representative of the State Public Works Board and BSCC must also sign the agreement. Per the direction from the State Department of Finance, the State signatories must be last to sign.
Brightview Landscape, Inc. was selected using a competitive process.
