CONTRACT MOWING – PARKS AND RECREATION –  B08030

 

Parks and Recreation bid out contract mowing for district #1, 2, and 3.  (See attachment).  The Parks & Recreation Department does not have sufficient staffing to maintain these right-of-ways and City properties and our analysis indicates it would be more efficient to contract for these services.

 

The bid was written as a renewable contract for two additional one year periods providing funds are available and both parties agree.  This was budgeted in the 2008 budgeting process.
