Analysis

Notice of bid #15108 was advertised and viewed by three (3) vendors to provide mowing and grounds maintenance for miscellaneous lots for the City's Code Enforcement Division.  There were two (2) Grand Prairie vendors available to provide the mowing and grounds maintenance services.  Three (3) bids were received as shown on attachment “A”.

 

The low bid received from Gardner’s Lawn Care, a Grand Prairie based business, meets specifications and is recommended for the award. 

 

The Finance and Government Committee reviewed this item on July 14, 2015 and recommended that it be forwarded to the City Council.
