River Ridge terminates Laz's Lawn Service and hires GulfScapes for landscape maintenance
Summary
Citing poor performance, the Board terminated Laz's Lawn Service and authorized engaging GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services at a proposed cost of $58,500, roughly $13,000 above the budgeted $45,000; the Board approved using available funds and withheld payments to offset overage.
District staff recommended terminating the landscape maintenance contract with Laz's Lawn Service, citing poor performance, and engaging GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services in its place. Staff noted GulfScapes’ proposed annual price of $58,500, which exceeds the budgeted $45,000 by approximately $13,000; Board discussion covered options to use unassigned funds and to offset plant-replacement costs by withholding payments to Laz's Lawn.
On motion by Mr. Blumenthal, seconded by Mr. Schultz, the Board authorized terminating the Laz's Lawn Service contract and engaging GulfScapes immediately. The approval was unanimous and effective immediately; staff were directed to implement the transition and manage cost offsets as discussed.
