Board awards two landscaping contracts to Class Act Maintenance for 2026-2027
Summary
The board awarded two multi-year landscaping and maintenance contracts to Class Act Maintenance: Fernley area services at $32,724 per year and Smith Valley services at $25,461 per year (transcript included a conflicting $225,461 figure that was later read as $25,461); both awards passed 5-0.
Facilities Director Doug Homestead recommended awarding two landscaping and maintenance contracts to Class Act Maintenance for 2026-2027.
Homestead said the county received limited or single responses and explained rising chemical and fertilizer costs as factors in higher bids; the board discussed outreach strategies to increase bidder interest (SEG 2300-2319, SEG 2336-2344). Homestead presented the Fernley-area contract at $32,724 per year and the Smith Valley contract at $25,461 per year; the transcript includes an earlier reading of $225,461 for Smith Valley but the motion recorded the lower figure and the board approved both motions 5-0 (SEGs 2425-2435, 2450-2455).
Commissioners asked that contractors coordinate with local park boards to address service gaps and discussed enforceability and licensing implications for herbicide application (SEG 2354-2364, SEG 2366-2376). The board instructed staff to work with the successful bidder on service expectations and oversight.
