River Ridge terminates Laz’s Lawn Service, hires GulfScapes at higher cost
Summary
Citing poor performance, the Board terminated Laz’s Lawn Service and engaged GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services immediately; GulfScapes’ proposal is $58,500, about $13,000 above the $45,000 budget and staff will use available funds and withheld payments to offset the increase.
The Board authorized termination of the district's Landscape Service Agreement with Laz’s Lawn Service, Inc. and engaged GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services effective immediately, citing poor performance by the incumbent contractor.
Mrs. Adams explained GulfScapes' proposal totals $58,500—approximately $13,000 above the $45,000 line item in the budget—but said the district can use unassigned funds and payments withheld from Laz’s Lawn Service to offset the increase. The motion to terminate Laz’s and hire GulfScapes passed unanimously.
