BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a service contract is to establish
firm pricing for services, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis.
This service contract will be used for grounds maintenance service for parks, airports
and other City owned properties. This contract will allow for services on a
predetermined maintenance schedule established by the City. The service contract will
also have a provision for emergency responses.
This service contract will be used to maintain parks, Fair Park and Bahama Beach
Water Park for Park and Recreation Department (PKR). PKR is responsible for more
than 21,000 park acres, 17,196 acres of greenbelt/park land and 61 miles of jogging
and bike trails. Over 1,200 acres at Love Field and over 1,300 acres at Executive
Airport will be maintained under this service contract as well as four properties managed
by Equipment & Building Services. Maintenance frequencies range from once or twice
per month to twice per year; cycles range from 7 days year round to 30 days.
Specifications allow those cycles to be adjusted as growing conditions change.
