Council approves $16,821.55 increase to Sussex County airport and property maintenance contract
Summary
Sussex County approved change order No. 1 to the 2019 airport/business park/miscellaneous property maintenance contract with Jayco Enterprises, increasing the annual contract amount by $16,821.55.
Sussex County Council approved change order No. 1 to the 2019 Sussex County Delaware Coastal Airport, Business Park and miscellaneous property maintenance contract, increasing the annual contract amount with Jayco Enterprises by $16,821.55.
County staff described an operational shift in mowing responsibilities: county facilities personnel will perform fine mowing at county-owned properties (terminal building, EOC, joint maintenance facility) while Jayco Enterprises will handle bulk mowing across the Business Park and airport. The county has adjusted mowing tactics over the past six years; that shift and reciprocal credits resulted in the net annual increase.
A county representative presented the recommendation from the engineering department. The council voted to adopt the change order after a motion and second; recorded votes in favor were entered and the motion carried.
The record did not include the prior annual contract amount, the new total annual contract figure, or the precise scope of “bulk” versus “fine” mowing in square footage. County staff noted the change reflected evolving maintenance tactics and coordination with existing contractors and county facilities teams.
