River Ridge terminates Laz’s Lawn, approves GulfScapes contract despite $13,000 overage
Summary
Citing poor performance, the board terminated Laz’s Lawn Service and authorized immediate engagement with GulfScapes at $58,500—$13,500 above the $45,000 budget—using withheld payments and unassigned funds to offset costs.
Mrs. Adams recommended terminating the Landscape Service Agreement with Laz’s Lawn Service, Inc. because of poor performance and engaging GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services. The board discussed GulfScapes’ proposal of $58,500, which exceeds the $45,000 budget by $13,000, and noted that GreenScapes refused to execute the CDD contract.
On motion by Mr. Blumenthal and seconded by Mr. Schultz, with all in favor, the board authorized management to terminate the contract with Laz’s Lawn Service, Inc., effective immediately, and to engage GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services. The board said withheld payments to Laz’s Lawn could be used to offset plant replacement costs related to the new contract.
