| Accept the Lowest Responsive, Responsible Bids Submitted by Gamco Properties III, Inc. - Invitation to Bid (ITB) #16150-MST Mowing Services Rebid Zone 8H (Business Services Division) | |
| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
| On December 9, 2014, the Board approved ITB #14117-MST Mowing and Grounds Maintenance Service at 189 Hillsborough County Public Schools locations. The district was split into 13 geographically combined zones to improve efficiency and provide the best overall value. Each vendor was awarded one zone, as specified in the bid. Due to vendor default or non-renewal, it was necessary to rebid zone 8H. This recommendation has been reviewed by the Sites and Utilities Department Manager.
To synchronize renewal periods with the existing bid, the initial term of this contract will be from January 18, 2017, through December 14, 2017, with 1-year renewals for 4 years, subject to negotiations and mutual agreement. There is a 30-day termination for convenience clause included in this contract. All prices offered are firm against any increase for at least one year from the effective date. This contract will be reviewed and evaluated annually and may be renewed by the Superintendent, per the terms of the specifications. |
