This contract will cover all General Government, Public/Safety, and Utilities Facilities; approximately 90 individual sites. The level of service for each site is based on the use of the facility, ranging from once a week to every six weeks. The actual services vary from site to site, but include mowing, trimming, edging, fertilization, mulching and pruning.

Funds are available within various user department approved budgets.

Alexandra Spaulding, Senior Assistant County Attorney
Additional Background/Other Considerations:
Contract modification is signed by Contractor and County Attorney’s Office and is attached.   The cost to provide the outsourced services will remain at the initial cost of $287,982.36.
Consequence of Denial/Inaction:
The County will not have a valid contract for these services and the level of services would be greatly reduced until a contract is approved.
Talking Points:
Staff is requesting approval of a contract modification to renew the contract with Commonwealth Irrigation & Landscape to continue providing ground maintenance services.
