Kanosh awards six‑month cemetery and park maintenance contract to Fernando Gutierrez
Summary
After reviewing two bids, the council awarded the six‑month cemetery and park maintenance contract to incumbent Fernando Gutierrez at $4,000 per month, citing experience and proven performance; vote was taken and motion passed.
Councilors reviewed two bids for park and cemetery care: Fernando Gutierrez offered $4,000 per month and Jim Cooley offered $3,700 per month. Members noted Fernando’s prior work and institutional knowledge of the tasks; councilors also discussed that the higher price reflected knowledge of what the job requires.
The chair entertained a motion to award the contract to Fernando Gutierrez; a member moved, another seconded, and the council voted in favor (voice vote 'Aye'). Council directed staff to formalize the contract and provide an updated version that documents the scope of work and hourly rates for any additional tasks outside the contract.
Councilors also noted the historical context — bids changed after the town’s experience in prior years — and reaffirmed that grounds work for graves is paid separately from the monthly maintenance contract.
