Commissioners question mowing contract costs and bid frequency for courthouse grounds
Summary
A commissioner asked staff to reexamine the courthouse mowing contract, noting per-cut costs and mulching charges and asking for a new bid; commissioners also discussed dust control and a planned rock-bed replacement.
Commissioner Carl raised concerns about the courthouse mowing contract and whether the county is paying for excessive services. He asked staff to review the bid and said he would like to know "how much we pay a year to just have this courthouse mowing taken care of," noting a charge of "160 each time they mow it" and higher mulching charges.
Commissioners discussed rebidding the work (it has been two to three years since the last bid), the number of scheduled mowings in the contract, and whether supervisors should shut down mowings during slow seasons. The commission asked staff to check specifications and consider reissuing the bid to ensure value and appropriate service frequencies.
