Grundy Center awards three-year parks maintenance contract to Precision Lawn Care
Summary
Following Park Board recommendation, the council awarded a three-year parks property management contract to Precision Lawn Care (bids: $18,600; $19,200; $19,800) over a lower initial-year bid from A Cut Above – Buhrow Lawn Care & More; motions carried five ayes.
The City Council considered bids for parks property management and voted to award a three-year contract to Precision Lawn Care. The Park Board recommended Precision Lawn Care after the city received two bid packages: A Cut Above – Buhrow Lawn Care & More (bids of $17,750, $18,250 and $18,750 for years one through three) and Precision Lawn Care (bids of $18,600, $19,200 and $19,800). Councilmember Rasmussen moved and Councilmember Mcdonald seconded Resolution 2025-09 to award the contract to Precision Lawn Care; the motion carried on a unanimous 5–0 vote. Councilmember Smith suggested future contracts include a probationary period so the city can replace a contractor if problems arise.
The council also handled consent business in the same meeting, approving the minutes of the Feb. 3 regular session, the January 2025 Treasurer’s Report and an annual special Class B native wine license for Simply Iowa Candle Co., LLC, located at 711 G Avenue. The clerk’s report in the meeting text listed January 2025 expenditures totaling $427,008 and revenues totaling $344,108 by fund; those fund-level numbers were recorded in the meeting minutes and are included in the record.
