Vendors were asked to provide landscape maintenance services to the various properties which included one or all of the following services: turf maintenance, palm and tree maintenance, shrub and groundcover maintenance, weed control, mulch maintenance, and litter removal.
Council authorization is requested for an annual not-to-exceed award of $95,000 which includes a $10,000.00 contingency for additional properties as they are added to Zone 5, supplemental work that may be requested, annual CPI contract increases, and other contractual management requirements.
