Commissioners rescind parks contract award, give contract to Comanche Landscape
Summary
The court rescinded an earlier RFB award after the original vendor said it could not meet contract requirements, then awarded parks maintenance to Comanche Landscape at the stated monthly rate and approved associated annual amount.
Tom Green County commissioners rescinded a prior parks maintenance award and re‑awarded the contract to the next lowest responsive bidder during their February 2025 session.
Speaker 6 (Mr. Southern) told the court that shortly after the original RFB award the county received written notice that the initially selected vendor could not fulfill the contract’s requirements. Under the local government code, the county may move to the next lowest responsive bidder in that situation. Speaker 6 said the next vendor is Comanche Landscape and presented the monthly and annual amounts.
Speaker 3 moved to rescind the RFB award (RFB 25‑002 to Site Sweep Services) and to award the contract to Comanche Landscape at the monthly rate discussed. The court approved the motion by voice vote; Speaker 1 noted the contract was needed immediately because parks were not being serviced and road and bridge had been covering work in the interim.
The county transcript records the monthly amounts with slight variations in wording during the exchange: Speaker 1 first referenced $15,931 per month (annualized to $191,172), and Speaker 3 later asked whether the correct monthly amount was $15,009.31; Speaker 6 confirmed the monthly amount presented earlier. The transcript does not include a roll‑call vote or individual commissioner vote breakdown.
The court’s action rescinded the initial award and confirmed Comanche Landscape as the parks maintenance contractor. The county did not discuss specific start dates in the recorded exchange.
