Action
Requested: Purchase sod and installation services from C Green Scaping in an
amount not to exceed $197,000.
Background
Information: The purpose of this item is to seek City Council approval to
purchase sod and installation services from C Green Scaping in an
amount not to exceed $197,000.
Expected expenses for sod -related services with C Green Scaping
in FY 2024 are as follows:
Department Estimated Spend
Community Services (Parks) $65,000
Public Works Operations $65,000
Capital Improvements Program (CIP) $58,000
Contingency $9,000
Total: $197,000
The increased use of sod -related services this fiscal year stems
from several unexpected factors.
1. Additional Community Services projects requiring sod and
installation services.
2. Additional Public Works CIP and Operational projects
requiring sod and installation services.
3. The lack of a requisite line item in other vendor contracts for
sod and installation services.
C Green Scaping is under a cooperative purchasing agreement with
the City of Fort Worth. State and city purchasing requirements have
been met by the City of Fort Worth contract as allowed per local
Government Code 791.
