City extends landscape maintenance agreements for one year with 2.8% CPI increase
Summary
Parks and Public Works staff recommended and the committee approved on consent one‑year extensions (final option) to three landscape maintenance contracts with AtWork covering City Hall, public safety facilities and the YMCA; the extensions include a 2.8% CPI increase and the city plans to rebid after the final year.
Jeff Hamlin, director of parks and public works, proposed one‑year extensions—the last available option—for three landscape maintenance agreements with AtWork covering City Hall, the police station, the fire station and the YMCA. He said the only change is a 2.8% CPI increase and that the city will rebid the contracts after the final extension.
Hamlin described AtWork as a smaller, steady crew that has performed reliably since the contract began in 2022. Committee members had no substantive objections and accepted the items on consent. Hamlin noted that a rebid after the one‑year extension may yield higher prices and that the extensions offer short‑term price stability.
Next steps: staff will extend the contracts for one year at the CPI‑adjusted rate and prepare a rebid package for the subsequent contract cycle.
