Staff seeks permission to bid grass cutting and demolition services under Blight Elimination Program
Summary
Staff asked the council for permission to seek competitive bids for demolition and for contracted grass‑cutting/trimming work that public works cannot absorb, and described a plan to classify lots by size/complexity for unit pricing.
City staff asked the Enterprise City Council for permission to solicit bids for demolition and for contracted grass‑cutting and yard‑maintenance work under the city’s Blight Elimination Program.
A staff member explained the council previously authorized bids for demolition of structures, and that the current request would expand formal bidding to cover grass cutting, trimming and edging for properties the city is addressing under the blight program when Public Works crews lack capacity. The staff member said these services have sometimes been performed by Public Works crews but that recurring program volume could require outside contractors.
Staff said the bid structure would likely include unit costs for three size/complexity classes—e.g., lots up to a half acre, half‑to‑three‑quarters and larger lots—so the city can reuse bid pricing as new properties enter the program. The staff member said special cases would be bid separately and that any recommended awards would return to the council for approval.
Ending: Staff will refine the bid classification and return with bid documents and award recommendations when bids are received.
