The contract, valued at approximately $499,908, was awarded on September 23, 2025, as a firm fixed-price purchase order set aside 100% for small businesses. The scope of work encompasses maintenance of approximately 134.13 acres of recreational and non-recreational areas, including bi-weekly mowing from May through October, bi-weekly gopher treatment, annual seeding, bi-annual fertilizing, litter pickup, trimming, edging, and bi-annual tree pruning and removal.
