Dunes City awards consolidated maintenance contract to Trident with spending caps
Summary
After soliciting bids, council recommended consolidating three maintenance contracts and approving Trident as the single contractor; council set a 'not to exceed' limit of $25,000 per contract (or $50,000 total) and approved the motion, with one member abstaining.
Council considered bids for landscaping, street sweeping, ditch clearing and tree work after two prior contractors ceased service. Staff recommended Trident — which already performs ditch clearing — as the single point contractor to provide parks and street maintenance.
Council members noted the combined contract rolls three prior smaller contracts into one and pushed the total above the city's $25,000 threshold for council approval. A motion to write the contract documents as "not to exceed $25,000 each or $50,000 total" (consistent with budget lines) was moved and seconded; the motion carried by voice vote with one member recorded as abstaining. The mayor and staff said emergencies (downed trees, storm damage) would be handled via task orders within the contract's framework.
