Council awards 2026 lawn-care contract and authorizes RFP for solid-waste services

City of Marion City Council · December 1, 2025

Summary

Council awarded the 2026 lawn-mowing contract to CAV Property Preservation and directed the City Secretary to prepare an RFP for the city's expiring solid-waste contract, advising notice to the current contractor (Apache) and requesting bulk pickup be included in the RFP.

City Secretary Gonzalez reported two bids for lawn mowing and landscape maintenance: CAV Property Preservation (La Vernia) and First Dew Lawn Care (Marion). Councilmember Jeremiah Burns moved to award the 2026 lawn-service contract to CAV Property Preservation; Councilmember Karen Mills seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

On solid-waste services, Mayor Loyola noted the current waste contract will expire in a few months and councilmembers agreed it was fair to go out to bid to invite other companies to propose service options. The council asked that the RFP include a monthly bulk pickup option and directed City Secretary Gonzalez, with assistance from Councilmember Phil Karrer, to send a courtesy letter to the incumbent contractor Apache and prepare and publish the RFP as soon as possible; Councilmember Burns moved and Councilmember Karrer seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
