BACKGROUND

On August 19, 2021, the Purchasing Division advertised and received bids to provide litter collection services.  Three hundred forty-seven (347) vendors were solicited and three (3) responses were received.  Staff recommends awarding the contract to the best value bidder, Lawn Star Landscape.

 

Lawn Star Landscape, LLC, is our current vendor with the previous contract awarded at $193,545. They have provided good service in maintaining litter collection services and respond to emergencies in a timely manner.

 

The lowest bidder, GreenList Services, LLC, was deemed non-responsive, as the bidder's services did not meet the City's scope required.

 

The litter collection services includes the following areas: US 75, Citywide/Regional Parks, Community Parks, Neighborhood Parks, Enhanced Greenbelts, Pocket Parks, Special Use Parks, Right of Ways/Medians/Easements, Municipal Buildings, Undeveloped Properties, Allen USA Celebration, and Athletic Tournaments. All these areas comprise over eight hundred and sixty-five acres.


BUDGETARY IMPACT

The funding for this annual contract for Litter Collection Services is budgeted in the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund.
