River Ridge approves irrigation repairs, terminates Laz’s Lawn and hires GulfScapes at higher cost
Summary
The board approved an Irrigation Concepts change order (not-to-exceed $15,000) to repair wiring and raise irrigation heads, and terminated Laz’s Lawn Service due to poor performance, engaging GulfScapes for $58,500 to take effect immediately.
District Engineer Charlie Krebs presented additional costs for the Seaside & Master Drainage Project and related ancillary irrigation repairs: Irrigation Concepts quoted $4,002.50 to repair damaged wiring and about $1,300 each to raise seven to eight irrigation heads. On motion by Mr. Blumenthal and seconded by Mr. Schultz, the board approved the Irrigation Concepts Change Order in a not‑to‑exceed amount of $15,000 (all in favor).
An added agenda item addressed poor performance by Laz’s Lawn Service. Mrs. Adams recommended terminating Laz’s Lawn’s Landscape Service Agreement and engaging GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services. GulfScapes’ proposal totaled $58,500, $13,500 higher than the $45,000 budgeted; the board approved terminating Laz’s Lawn and engaging GulfScapes, effective immediately, and discussed offsetting the increase with unassigned funds and payments withheld from Laz’s Lawn.
