Bids were opened on September 28, 2006 with three vendors responding. The low bidder, Camp <br />Landscape Services submitted a bid of $90,630 in total for the various sites. Some sites will be deferred (i.e. <br />Police Headquarters, Fire Station #3 and EMS Station) until the expected completion of these facilities in April- <br />May. Reduction of the contract for these deferments is expected to reduce the contract by $5,400, to $85,230 for <br />the year. <br />Council authorized $50,000 for the contract; the balance of the funding will come from the Parks <br />Maintenance Division personnel budget, through attrition. If the savings from attrition do not equal the <br />additional estimated cost of $35,230, Council would be asked for a budget amendment to take the difference <br />from contingency or the Council discretionary funds. <br /> <br />Staff recommends acceptance of the bid from Camp Landscape Services in the amount not to exceed <br />$90,630 for landscape/grounds maintenance services at various sites throughout the City of La Porte, as low <br />bidder meeting specifications for this project. <br /> <br />r <br /> <br />Action Required bv Council: <br />Consider award of bid to Camp Landscape Services in the amount not to exceed $90,630 for <br />landscape/grounds maintenance services at various sites throughout the City of La Porte, as low bidder meeting <br />specifications for this project. <br /> <br /> <br />erim City Manager <br /> <br />)0/710, <br />, / D~te <br />
