River Ridge CDD terminates Laz's Lawn Service, hires GulfScapes and approves irrigation repairs up to $15,000
Summary
The board authorized terminating Laz's Lawn Service for poor performance, engaged GulfScapes at $58,500 (about $13,000 over budget), and approved an Irrigation Concepts change order to repair wiring and raise heads not-to-exceed $15,000.
During the Nov. 19, 2024 meeting, the board considered terminating the landscape-services agreement with Laz's Lawn Service, Inc. because of poor performance and engaging GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services.
Mrs. Adams noted GulfScapes' proposal is $58,500, about $13,000 more than the budgeted $45,000. Discussion addressed using payments withheld from Laz's Lawn Service to offset the extra cost and that GreenScapes declined to execute the CDD contract. On motion by Mr. Blumenthal and seconded by Mr. Schultz, with all in favor, the board authorized terminating Laz's Lawn Service and engaging GulfScapes effective immediately.
Separately, District Engineer Charlie Krebs presented a revised scope for the Seaside & Master Drainage Project and additional costs from Irrigation Concepts: $4,002.50 to repair damaged wiring and about $1,300 each to raise seven to eight irrigation heads. On motion by Mr. Blumenthal and seconded by Mr. Schultz, the board approved the Irrigation Concepts change order in a not-to-exceed amount of $15,000.
