Trappe council declines single landscaping bid, asks contractor to submit itemized 'as-needed' pricing
After receiving one bid for grass cutting and landscaping, the council voted to keep work with town employees and asked Distinctive Landscaping to submit an itemized as-needed proposal; the bid options were $42,334 (contractor supplies mulch/flowers) or $41,694 (town supplies).
The full story
The Trappe Town Council reviewed a single bid from Distinctive Landscaping for the town’s grass-cutting and landscaping needs and voted May 6 not to award the contract at this time. The contractor’s bid was $42,334.00 if the company provided mulch and flowers or $41,694.00 if the town supplied those items. President Newnam moved to have town employees continue the responsibilities rather than award to the single bidder; the motion passed by unanimous vote.
