Bid Board approves $20,806 snow-removal voucher and $27,000 in landscaping quotes
Summary
La Porte City Bid Board approved a $20,806 voucher for seven January snow-removal incidents and authorized two landscaping quotes — $25,000 to Perennials Galore and $2,000 for soil — and set a Feb. 24, 2026 deadline for summer-maintenance bids.
La Porte City’s Bid Board approved a large accounts-payable voucher and two landscaping quotes during its Feb. 9 meeting.
The board approved a voucher for Dale Mulfield Property Service totaling $20,806 to cover seven snow-removal incidents between Jan. 15 and Jan. 31, staff reported. Board members said they would confirm the exact dates on the voucher before processing. An unidentified board member moved to approve the voucher and the motion carried.
The board also approved two landscaping quotes. The first was an annual planting contract from Perennials Galore for $25,000, down from $29,000 last year, and the second was a $2,000 quote to add soil on State Street (90 bags of 3-cubic-foot soil). A board member moved to approve both quotes; another seconded the motion and the board voted in favor.
Jamie, the maintenance representative, told the board a summer-maintenance quote packet is being circulated; quote submissions are due Feb. 24, 2026, and she offered to send materials to any interested vendors. She provided a contact phone number for the packet.
