DISCUSSION: The Park & Recreation Department approached the Purchasing Division to procure an annual agreement for grounds maintenance for the City's South and West districts. These services will be used to provide mowing, trimming shrubs, mulch application, fire ant control and irrigation services to City parks and facilities. In order to procure these services, staff issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 22- 0208. The ITB consisted of detailed specifications listing the locations, frequency, quality, and type of grounds maintenance to be performed. The ITB was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on August 31, 2022, September 7, 2022, September 14, 2022 and September 21, 2022. The City received nine (9) responses.

An evaluation panel consisting of representatives of the Park and Recreation and Property Management departments reviewed and scored the remaining submittals using Best Value criteria. The individuals scores were averaged for each criteria and the final scores are listed in the table below.

After evaluation, the panel concluded that Lawn Patrol Service, Inc, SRH Landscapes, LLC, Brightview Landscape Services, Inc and Scott Landscape Maintenance presented the best value to the City. Therefore, the panel recommends that Council authorize non-exclusive agreements with Lawn Patrol Service, Inc, SRH Landscapes, LLC, Brightview Landscape Services, Inc and Scott Landscape Maintenance. No guarantee was made that a specific amount of services would be purchased. Staff certifies that the recommended vendors bid met specifications. FUNDING: The maximum amount allowed under this agreement will be $1,100,000.00, however the actual amount used will be based on the need of the department and available budget. Funding is budgeted in the City Mowing account within the Park and Recreation department General Fund, as appropriated. DVIN-BE: A waiver of the goal for Business Equity subcontracting requirement is approved by the DVIN-BE, in accordance with the Business Equity Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible. AGREEMENT TERMS: Upon City Council approval, this agreement shall begin upon execution and expire on upcoming November 30th. RENEWAL TERMS: This agreement may be renewed for five additional, one-year terms. This action does not require specific City Council approval provided that the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal term. ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER: An administrative change order or increase may be made by the City Manager up to the amount allowed by relevant law and the Fort Worth City Code and does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation, funds are available in the current operating budget, as previously appropriated, in the General Fund. Prior to any Non -Exclusive Contract Mowing and Grounds Maintenance Services Agreement for South and West District City Facilities and Parks 33 of 34 expenditure being incurred, the Park & Recreation Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
