Body
BACKGROUND: On May 28, 2013 the City Council approved a contract with Aces Landscaping LLC to provide abatement services related to mowing, securing of structures, and removal of health nuisances on private properties. Abatement work orders are issued upon failure of the property owners to abate nuisances after notification by the City Code Compliance Inspectors. Section 1) B. of the contract allows for renewal of the contract for additional one-year periods at the option of the City. Fees for service remain unchanged.
DISCUSSION: The contractor, in response to a request for proposal, submitted to the City in 2013, sealed proposals in accordance with the terms of the Request for Proposals. The City subsequently awarded contracts to two contractors. Both contractors have performed well and in a timely manner upon issuance of work orders. Over 600 work orders were issued in 2013.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that based on the merits and performance of the contract requirements from contract approval to present, that Contract No. K-1213-194 with Aces Landscaping LLC be renewed through amendment as the City of Norman mowing/securing/nuisance abatement contractor for the contract period April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015. Funds are budgeted for abatement in account number 010-4052-424.41-14 (Mowing).
