Analysis
This agreement is for mowing and grounds maintenance of all channels, levees, well sites and drainage easements listed in Attachment A. All levees, except for Dorchester which is City owned, are mowed to maintain grassy areas to comply with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) requirements. These sites are inspected annually by the Corps and rated for proper maintenance. The channels, well sites, drainage easements and the Dorchester levee are mowed to maintain City standards.
Notice of bid # 17046 was viewed by 19 vendors. There were two Grand Prairie vendors available for this commodity. Three bids were received as shown on Attachment A.
The reward was based on best value criteria set up in the specification, including reputation, price (local vendor within 5% of lowest bid), past relationship with the City and other municipalities, if they were local, and other relevant criteria listed in the specification.
Terry Rutland meets specifications and is recommended for award.
