River Ridge terminates Laz’s Lawn, hires GulfScapes at higher cost
Summary
Citing poor performance, the board terminated Laz’s Lawn Service and hired GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services at $58,500 (about $13,500 over budget), authorizing management to use withheld payments and unassigned funds to offset the increase.
Board members discussed terminating the Landscape Service Agreement with Laz’s Lawn Service due to what staff described as poor performance and presented GulfScapes’ proposal as a replacement. GulfScapes submitted a proposal for $58,500, which is approximately $13,500 higher than the $45,000 budgeted for landscape services; GreenScapes was not an option because it refused to execute the CDD’s contract.
On a motion by Mr. Blumenthal, seconded by Mr. Schultz, the board authorized management to terminate Laz’s Lawn Service, engage GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services immediately, and use withheld payments from Laz’s and unassigned funds to offset the additional cost.
