Title
Fertilization Broadleaf Weed Control RFP Award
History
Four companies submitted proposals for the Broadleaf Weed Control. The lowest proposal price was from Trugreen; however, we canceled this company’s contract last year due to numerous problems with the company’s performance accountability (item #2012-0642). Of the three remaining companies, Forever Green Lawn Care submitted the lowest pricing. Staff is recommending we accept the proposal from Forever Green Lawn Care for the three year contract at the proposed pricing. A budget adjustment will be needed, however the total cost of this project is within in the total amount budgeted across several funds.
On April 1, 2013, this item was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
