River Ridge terminates Laz’s Lawn and hires GulfScapes at higher cost
Summary
Citing poor performance, the board authorized terminating Laz’s Lawn Service and engaging GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services at $58,500—about $13,000 above the current budget—and agreed to offset the extra cost using withheld payments and unassigned funds.
The board considered terminating the landscape service agreement with Laz’s Lawn Service due to ongoing performance concerns and to engage GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services as the replacement. GulfScapes’ proposal totaled $58,500, roughly $13,000 higher than the $45,000 budgeted amount.
Board members discussed options to offset the additional cost, including applying withheld payments from Laz’s Lawn and using available unassigned funds; they also noted GreenScapes was not an option because the vendor refused to execute the CDD’s contract. On motion by Mr. Blumenthal and seconded by Mr. Schultz the board authorized terminating Laz’s and engaging GulfScapes immediately (vote recorded as unanimous).
