CONTRACT MOWING – UTILITIES DEPARTMENT –  B08028

 

Utilities Department bid out contract mowing for the Wastewater Treatment Plant, Lift Stations, Kaw Water Treatment Plant and the Clinton Water Treatment Plant. (See attachment).  Utilities contracts mowing for these areas yearly and Our analysis indicates it would be more efficient to contract for these services than utilize city staff.

 

 

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