Council approves 90‑day extension for Rupert Landscaping contract to complete RFP process

Dave Wells, director of facilities and capital construction and building operations, asked council to approve a 90‑day extension to the city's existing agreement with Rupert Landscaping LLC so staff can complete a request‑for‑proposals process and transition services without interruption. "The 90 day extension is necessary to allow for the sufficient time to complete the competitive procurement process, evaluate proposals, obtain counsel approval of a contract award, and transition services to the selected contractor without interruptions to essential landscaping and grounds maintenance service," he said.
