Commission outlines scope, timing for grounds-maintenance bid; recommends April–Oct contract window
Summary
Commissioners discussed putting grounds maintenance out to bid, clarified Exhibit A scope (debris removal, sidewalk and parking-lot weed control), and indicated an April 1–October 31 service window; commissioners debated irrigation limits and whether seeding should be included.
Staff reported they will prepare a notice to go out to bid and asked commissioners to confirm Exhibit A scope and a service timeframe. Commissioners and staff agreed on a likely contract window of April 1 through October 31 and clarified scope items such as debris removal, weed control for sidewalks and parking lots, and possible inclusion of planting grass if irrigation were available.
Staff cautioned that planting grass without reliable irrigation (currently hoses are used) would be ineffective; a commissioner suggested removing grass planting from the initial bid or making it an optional line item so a chemical-spray vendor could coordinate seeding if selected. The clerk said he would draft the notice and bring it back to the board next week for approval.
No contract award was made at the meeting; the commission instructed staff to prepare the bid notice with clarified scope and timing.
