Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with Greenlander, LLC for vegetation control services. Department: Transportation Services Staff Person: Tom Martin, Transportation Services Director Justification: Two bids were received and opened on December 7th, 2004 at the City Council Chambers. Based on review of the bids by the staff during the best value bid process, it is recommended that the bid be awarded to Greenlander, LLC., in the amount of $58,846.00. Funding: Cost: $58,846.00 Source of funds: General Street Operating Funds Outside Resources: Greenlander, LLC. Background Information: The previous contract expired. This contract, as the previous one, is an annual maintenance contract with the option to renew every year for up to four years. The maintenance provided has been in place for the previous 7 years. This has lowered the need for mowing by the application of a growth inhibitor which provides a more aesthetically pleasant median and rights-of-way.
