Commission authorizes contracting county‑wide mowing under annual bid

Covington County Commission · August 26, 2026

Summary

Staff recommended contracting county‑wide mowing because of timing and spray‑to‑mow sequencing; commissioners approved issuing a purchase order under the annual bid to contract mowing services.

Transportation staff described timing constraints caused by herbicide spraying and the required delay before mowing; because crews are tied up with right‑of‑way trimming and other urgent tasks, staff recommended contracting out county‑wide mowing under the annual bid award. Derek said contracting may be more practical this year to avoid delaying other critical work.

Commissioners agreed and voted to allow the contract as recommended; the motion passed by voice vote. Staff said they will issue a purchase order and reassess whether contracting is cost‑effective in future budget cycles.
