c. Review Lawn Mowing Proposals:
City Administrator Anderson stated staff received a total of five (5) proposals for lawn mowing services. The
RFP asked for quotes for a seasonal price with the option of a 1- or 3-year contract. The bid range received was
$7500 - $16,800 and did not include haul away for mulching in the Fall. Shaughnessy Lawn Care was the lowest
bid at $7,500.00. Discussion was had. Council Member’s Hoffman, Horton, and Chase questioned if the bids
were apples to apples and if they were itemized to show what was included. Anderson stated they are all basically
the same and provided a flat amount but that some may have included travel costs. Council Member Sippel and
Mayor Rockvam questioned whether we should go with Larson since we seem to have a good working
relationship with them.
Council Member Horton motioned, being seconded by Council Member Hoffman, to accept the lowest bid from Shaughnessy Lawn
Care for seasonal mowing. On Roll Call vote: Hoffman – yes, Sippel – no, Horton – yes, Chase – yes, Rockvam – no. Motion
carried 3-2.
