Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into contracts with twelve contractors to provide lawn care service on City owned property held in the Land Bank and to authorize the expenditure of $200,000 from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Fund. 19 companies responded to an Invitation To Bid, SA-006150. All bids were reviewed and ranked by an evaluation committee based on the criteria established in the bid solicitation. Thus creating a list of contractors deemed to be the lowest, responsive, responsible, and best bidders. The highest ranked bidder is unable to provide lawn care services for all properties maintained by the Land Bank thus the need to enter into contract with multiple vendors. Contracts will be offered first to those with highest ranking in the evaluation process until all land bank parcels have been assigned for lawn care. The rest of the companies will be alternates and will only be offered contracts in an as- needed basis.
These companies will be offered contracts:
Mowtivation Lawn Services LLC
Yah's Construction LLC
Ibar Home Maintenance
Truckco LLC
Shining Company
