The scope requires grass cutting once every five working days during mowing season, aeration at least twice annually, weekly weed control, monthly tree and shrub trimming, and daily litter collection five days per week.

The contract term is one year with the possibility of extension for up to two additional one-year periods if mutually agreed upon by both parties. Liquidated damages are $250 per day for incomplete work. Tree damage assessments carry $200 for slight damage or $500 for severe damage. The City reserves the right to terminate the contract if equipment is found unsuitable or if the contractor fails to meet specifications on more than one occasion, with the project then awarded to the next lowest responsive bidder.
