River Ridge terminates Laz’s Lawn Service, hires GulfScapes at $58,500
Summary
Citing poor performance, the board terminated the landscape contract with Laz’s Lawn Service and authorized immediate engagement of GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services at a proposed cost of $58,500, about $13,000 over budget.
The board authorized terminating the landscape service agreement with Laz’s Lawn Service, Inc., citing poor performance, and approved engaging GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services effective immediately. Cleo Adams said GulfScapes’ proposal was $58,500, which exceeds the $45,000 budget by approximately $13,000. The board discussed offsetting the extra cost using unassigned funds and payments withheld from Laz’s Lawn Service for plant replacements.
On a motion by Kurt Blumenthal, seconded by Bob Schultz, the board voted unanimously to terminate Laz’s Lawn Service and engage GulfScapes. The minutes note that GreenScapes was not an option because that firm refused to execute the CDD contract.
