SUBJECT:
Resolution Accepting the Bid from Classic Landscape Ltd., West Chicago, IL for the East Side Landscape Maintenance for the Divisions of Street Maintenance, Parks & Recreation, and Property Standards for 2015 and 2016.
PURPOSE:
To contract the landscape maintenance for right of ways, medians, and city-owned parcels.

They submitted the lowest responsible bid at $3,355.00 per mowing cycle. I recommend that we accept their bid for a 2 year contract with 2 one year mutually agreeable extensions.
Dollars have been appropriated in the following accounts 101-4460-431.36-15, 101-4440-451.36-15, and 101-1727-424.36-14 for this expenditure.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
There should be no impact on other departments.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
