Nov 19, 2024

Due to poor performance the board terminated Laz’s Lawn Service and engaged GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services at $58,500 per year (about $13,000 over budget); the board will use withheld payments and unassigned funds to offset the difference.

The full story

District staff raised performance concerns with Laz’s Lawn Service, and proposed terminating the current landscape contract and engaging GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services. GulfScapes' proposal totals $58,500 annually, roughly $13,000 above the district’s $45,000 budgeted amount; staff said withheld payments from Laz’s Lawn and unassigned funds could offset the extra cost. GreenScapes was not an option because they declined to execute the CDD contract.
