CONTRACT MOWING – PARKS AND RECREATION – B09008
Parks and Recreation bid out contract mowing for district #1, areas 2 and 3, and Landscape (see attachment). Parks and Recreation Department staff generally mows parks and ball fields, but mowing of right-of-way areas, medians, and certain other City properties is done by contract. The department has found that the cost of additional staff, equipment, fuel and particularly travel expenses to mow these areas is greater than the cost of contracting for that mowing. 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 2009 budgeting process.
