SUBJECT:
Resolution Accepting the Bid from Beary Landscape Management, Lockport, IL for the Facilities and Grounds Landscape Maintenance for Various City Divisions for 2015 and 2016
PURPOSE:
To contract the landscape maintenance for right of ways, medians, and various city-owned city buildings.
BACKGROUND:
The City's landscape maintenance contract for right of ways, medians, and city-owned buildings expired in 2014. This is the third of four landscape maintenance bid packages to be advertised for public bid in 2015. So far the overall pricing for landscape maintenance services is approximately 25% less than the City's previous contracted costs.
DISCUSSION:
The City has landscape responsibility of various right of ways, medians, and buildings city-wide. Beary Landscape Management submitted the lowest responsible bid at a total annual cost of $26,000.00 I contacted several of their listed references and all indicated they were satisfied with their work and quickly addressed any issues or concerns brought to their attention. I recommend that the City accept their bid for a 2 year contract with 2 one year mutually agreeable extensions.
Dollars have been appropriated in the following accounts 101-1745-440.38-34, 101-1716-417.36-15, 530-4433-437.36-15, 530-4434-437.36-15, 101-4440-451.36-15, 251-4460-431.36-15,
