City awards two-year landscape maintenance contract to Elion Maintenance for $55,524.40
Summary
Council approved a two-year landscape maintenance contract covering medians and corridors for $55,524.40 with Elion Maintenance; staff noted large bid spreads and will monitor future contracting terms.
Council approved a two-year landscape maintenance contract (2026–27) with Elion Maintenance for $55,524.40 to perform roadside landscaping on designated corridors (Johnson Parkway, Viking Avenue, Finn Hill, Lincoln). Staff reported five bids with a wide spread; Elion was low and staff checked references from other municipalities.
The motion authorized the mayor to sign the contract and permit change orders up to 10% of contract value. Council members discussed longer-term contracting options to secure savings as complete-streets projects expand green infrastructure, and staff noted general fund impacts for a growing maintenance workload.
