November 28 Recap

Board of Supervisors Approve an Award of Contract for 
County Grounds Maintenance
 
The current Grounds contractor, Heaton Lawn Maintenance LLC., notified the County that they were going out of business and would be ending their contract effective October 31, 2023.  The Finance and General Services Departments issued IFB #24-04-0801 on October 12, 2023, to solicit bids for County Grounds Maintenance services.  The IFB closed on December 2, 2023, and seven (7) bids were received.

Oak Ridge Enterprise was the lowest responsive bidder in this process at $85,200.00.  Their bid is $2,624.62 higher than the most recent contract renewal with Heaton of $82,575.38.  The contract award to Oak Ridge Enterprise will not have a material impact on our FY2024 budget and will not require a budget amendment / increase.  At its November 28 meeting, the Board voted unanimously to award the contract to Oak Ridge Enterprise.
