Summary
The Conestoga Valley School District board voted to award a three-year mowing contract to Sunset Edge Landscaping, approving a base three‑year bid of $159,000 plus a $21,600 alternate for middle-school parking‑lot islands, for a total three‑year cost of $180,600.
The Conestoga Valley School District board voted March 23 to award a three‑year mowing contract to Sunset Edge Landscaping with a total three‑year cost of $180,600. Staff told the board the base three‑year bid was $159,000 and an alternate to mow islands in the middle‑school parking lot added $21,600.
During discussion, board members asked whether bidders had included fuel surcharges. Staff (speaker 7) said bidders did not submit a separate fuel-surcharge line and that the bid specifications typically require an all‑inclusive price, though itemized fuel surcharges sometimes appear in other contracts. The staff member said they vetted Sunset Edge by contacting current clients and found generally positive references.
A board member moved to approve the contract and the clerk conducted a roll-call vote; the motion carried and the chair confirmed the contract award. The approved term is three years and district staff said the contract includes built-in frequency to handle weeks that require extra mowing.
