SUBJECT:

A resolution to accept Total Property Management Maintenance of Monee, IL for the Special Lawn Mowing Support Program which provides lawn mowing services for eligible seniors and individuals living with disabilities.

 

PURPOSE:

To obtain City Council approval for Total Property Management Maintenance to be the contractor for the Special Lawn Mowing Support Program which provides these services for eligible seniors and individuals living with disabilities.

 

BACKGROUND:

Senior and Disability Services is responsible for identifying gaps in services/resources for our seniors and individuals living with disabilities, then producing innovative ways to provide supplementary solutions to enhance their life and legacy as residents in the City of Aurora. During the 12 stop Senior Listening tour, lawn mowing support was identified as a significant need amongst this population, and this is our response to this identified need. Last year we piloted this program serving 50 residents and this year we are scaling the program to serve 75 identified residences.

 

DISCUSSION:

A formal bid request was sent out to identify a contractor to provide lawn mowing services for the 75 eligible private residential properties within the City of Aurora Illinois. A response was received from 2 vendors, Total Property Management Maintenance of Monee, IL and Cox Landscaping of Yorkville, IL being the only responsible bidders. Total Property Management Maintenance was the lowest bidder.

 

This bid is subject to the local preference ordinance; however, it did not impact the decision.

 

Contract will be for 1 year with the option to extend for an additional two years upon mutual consent between the City and the vendor.  

 

Funding for Senior and Disability Services, for lawn mowing services, as a part of the Special Lawn Mowing Support program will be account 101-1372-440.50-80.

 

 

IMPACT STATEMENT:

This resolution must be approved in order to provide lawn mowing services for identified and eligible seniors and individuals living with disabilities (as a part of the Special Lawn Mowing Support program) within the City of Aurora Illinois limits.

Request is for the approval of Total Property Management Maintenance of Monee, IL services."
