EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF WORK
The work covered under this Agreement consists of, but is not limited to, mowing, herbicide treatments,
and maintenance services of approximately 117,040 linear feet of creek channels and other miscellaneous
items to be performed as outlined herein.
Contractor is responsible for providing the services listed within this Scope of Work ("services") on each
area listed within Exhibit `B" ("Project Areas") as requests for services are issued via a Work Order by
the City for the different types of services identified herein. The Work Order shall include maps of the
specific Project Areas and a description of specific services to make it clear what areas and work the
Contractor is required to provide. The Contractor shall leave all Project Areas with a finished appearance.
All grass and weeds growing in expansion joints or in cracks in concrete shall be removed. Turf adjacent
to or under obstacles must be maintained at the same height as adjoining turf areas.
Upon execution of this Agreement, Contractor shall provide a mowing and maintenance schedule for each
Project Area that provides relative dates and times as to when the Contractor believes such services, as
described herein, should occur. The City will use such mowing and maintenance schedule throughout the
Term of the Agreement to determine when to issue Work Orders for the different Project Areas under the
Agreement.
1. OUANTITY OF SERVICES.
- The Agreement will be based on up to three (3) mowing cycles for most Project Areas per Term.
Certain High Visibility Areas and other identified lots will require much higher frequency of services
throughout the Term as identified within Exhibit B of this Agreement. Work Orders shall be issued
by City based on a proposed breakdown schedule provided by Contractor upon execution of this
Agreement with the following parameters:
o Mowing each year shall normally occur in early -Spring and ends when terminated by
Storm Water Management.
o Usually, the season will end after the first hard freeze.
- All Project Areas identified within Exhibit B that require up -to 3 mowing cycles per term shall not
be serviced less than forty-five (45) calendar days after the last service was provided for that Project
Area. This shall not include any re -mowing at the completion of the initial cycle (or 21 days following
the notice of incompletion of mow, whichever is less), when necessary to secure effective mow as
required by these specifications.
- Contractor agrees to use, and update as required, the City's current work order management system
(VUEWORKS) to track and record locations maintained. Use of this system is through the Mobile Vue
app.
- The quantities listed on the bid solicitation are only estimates based on previous usage and do not
indicate intent to purchase or a guarantee of future business. The City of Fort Worth is obligated to pay
for only those materials and services actually ordered, via Work Order, by an authorized City employee
providing a purchase order number and then received as required and accepted by the City. Contractor
will be responsible for mowing and servicing the entirety of each Project Area. The City may add or
remove locations at any time.

of Work. The City's designated Project Manager, or representative thereof, will inspect and approve
the Project Areas that have been invoiced for payment by Contractor.
- The time of completion of each individual Work Order is an essential element of this Agreement.
Each Work Order issued will have a maximum allowed number of calendar days for the completion
of that specific Work Order.

identified within the Work Order. Should the Contractor fail to complete a service in the given amount
of calendar days as specified on each individual Work Orders or if the Contractor fails to begin the

HEARING:
SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize Execution of Agreement with Civilian Division, LLC dba GI Mow for
Channel and Buy -Out Lot Mowing Services in an Annual Amount Up to $226,000.00 and
Authorize Up to Four Automatic Renewal Options for the Same Annual Amount for the
Transportation and Public Works Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of agreement with Civilian Division, LLC
dba GI Mow for channel and buy-out lot mowing in an annual amount up to $226,000.00 and authorize
up to four automatic renewal options for the same annual amount for the Transportation and Public
Works Department.
DISCUSSION:
The Transportation and Public Works approached the Purchasing Division to procure an annual
agreement for channel and buy-out lot mowing. Under the proposed agreement the vendor will provide
mowing services on city -owned lots and channels. In order to procure the service, staff issued
Invitation to Bid (ITB) Number 23-0019. The ITB consisted of detailed specifications describing the
required responsibilities and requirements to provide these services and supplies.
The ITB was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram for three consecutive weeks: Wednesday
February 1, 2023, Wednesday February 8, 2023 and Wednesday February 15, 2023.
The City received five (5) responses. An evaluation panel, comprised of members of
the Transportation and Public Works and the Code Compliance Departments, reviewed and scored
the submittals using the Best Value criteria.
The individual scores were averaged for each of the criteria and the final scores are listed in the table
below.

therefore, did not receive a ranking.
After evaluation, the panel concluded that Civilian Division LLC dba GI Mow presents both the best
value and the necessary coverage for the City; therefore, the panel recommends that Council
authorize an agreement with Civilian Division LLC dba GI Mow. No guarantee was made that a
specific amount of services would be purchased. Staff certifies that the recommended vendor bids met
specifications.

M&C Review
FUNDING: The maximum annual amount allowed under this agreement will be $226,000.00; however
the actual amount used will be based on the need of the department and available budget. Funding is
budgeted in the Other Contractual Services account of the Transportation and Public Works
Department's Stormwater Utility Fund.
BUSINESS EQUITY: 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 off goods
or services is from sources that have negligible subcontracting or supplier opportunities.
AGREEMENT TERMS: Upon City Council approval, the agreement will begin upon execution and will
end September 30, 2023.
RENEWAL OPTIONS: This agreement may be automatically renewed for up to four (4) automatic one-
year renewal periods (October 1 to September 30). This action does not require specific City Council
approval provided that City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations
during the renewal term.
