Recommendation to Award Contracts for Grass Cutting on Vacant City Lots to Summit Lawncare in the amount of $38,970 and to Culpepper Lawnworks in the amount of $17,535
end
BACKGROUND:
The City owns a number of vacant lots that were acquired over time through various means, including prior administrative purchases and other property transfers. These parcels contain no structures and require ongoing maintenance to ensure they remain in compliance with City ordinances and community standards. For many years, the City has contracted with external vendors to provide routine grass cutting and general lot maintenance services.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that the Committee approve and forward to City Council a recommendation to award contracts for grass cutting services on vacant City-owned lots under Contract NS-CO-LM 2024 to the responsible lowest bidders, with the option for two annual renewals (2025 and 2026). Staff recommends approval of the 2026 renewal with Culpepper Lawnworks in the amount of $17,535 (Bundles A and B) and Summit Lawncare in the amount of $38,970 (Bundle C, D and E). Funding for these services will be charged to Neighborhood Services (ORG 02025000, Object 524200 ) in the total amount of $56,505
RECOMMENDATION:
