Board renews landscaping and snow-removal contract with incumbent vendor
Summary
Perimeter Park West approved renewing the combined landscaping and snow- removal contract with incumbent McDonald's Lawn and Landscape; staff cited staffing shortages in the contractor market as a reason for limited competition.
Staff told the board that eight vendors were contacted for combined landscaping and snow removal but only two returned quotes; staffing shortages and large property size limited competition. Management recommended renewing the existing contract with McDonald's Lawn and Landscape, noting the vendor's responsiveness and multi-year service history.
"They are in good standing, they're responsive and they have been working for us for several years," the presenter said when recommending the incumbent. The board moved, seconded and approved the renewal by voice vote.
Staff explained the contract expires at the end of March and that the selected vendor would handle both regular grounds maintenance and snow removal for the campus.
