River Ridge ends contract with Laz’s Lawn, hires GulfScapes at higher cost
Summary
Citing poor performance, the board terminated Laz’s Lawn Service and immediately engaged GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services at $58,500 — roughly $13,000 over the original $45,000 budget — and authorized staff to use withheld payments and unassigned funds to offset costs.
District staff recommended terminating the Landscape Service Agreement with Laz’s Lawn Service, Inc., for poor performance and contracting GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services instead. GulfScapes’ proposal totaled $58,500, about $13,000 more than the $45,000 budgeted amount.
Board members discussed options, including using withheld payments from Laz’s Lawn to cover plant replacement costs and drawing on unassigned funds to offset the higher contract price. On motion by Kurt Blumenthal and seconded by Bob Schultz, the board approved terminating Laz’s Lawn and engaging GulfScapes effective immediately.
