Council approves one-year mowing contract with All Seasons Inc. amid staffing constraints
Summary
Council approved a one-year contract with All Seasons Incorporated for mowing at a quoted per-visit rate, citing a wet season and limited city crew capacity; council discussed frequency, scope and vendor methods before approving the contract.
Harrisburg City Council approved a one-year mowing contract with All Seasons Incorporated after staff explained the city has been unable to keep up with growth and heavy seasonal vegetation.
Chair and staff described prior denial of the request earlier in the year and explained that the contractor uses a crew of roughly 12 with handheld equipment to clear the drainage area in a single day; staff estimated city crews would require several man-hours over multiple days. Council questioned frequency and cost; staff said the proposed contract is for the current season only (April through October) and the motion to approve carried.
Council directed staff to manage scheduling so contractor visits align with need and avoid unnecessary visits; no public testimony was recorded on the item.
