Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Facilities Management Division with Winnscapes for mowing, landscape maintenance, and snow removal services for various city facilities. Ordinance No. 2710-2013, passed by City Council on December 5, 2013, authorized the original contract.
This modification will provide funding for mowing and snow removal at various facilities under the purview of the Facilities Management Division. Several additional facilities were added to the snow plow list (the Impound Lot and additional Public Safety buildings on McKinley Avenue), and two new facilities were added to the mowing list (John R. Maloney Family Health and Wellness Center and the Reeb School).
Winnscapes was chosen because it is the Facilities Management current contractor for these services. Therefore, it would not be in the best interest of the city to select another vendor to complete this work. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested to ensure mowing, landscape maintenance, and snow removal services continue without interruption.
Winnscapes Contract Compliance No. 31-1313521, expiration date October 23, 2015.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this modification is $19,276.92. Funding is budgeted and available within the Facilities Management Division, general fund, for this modification.
