ANALYSIS The City currently contracts under two (2) separate contracts for grounds maiatenaDce services for MacArthur Causeway and Julia Tuttle Causeway at a yearly cost ofS234,714.90. The yearly cost for these areas under this bid increased to $251.004.90 (approximate ,.'" increase). This escalation of cost is due to the revised requirements of this bid which have increasecI the freque:Dcy of service and level of supervision required. This win help to insUre that these gateway areas are maintained to the level expected by the citizens aad visitors. Grouncls m.aiJJteDanCe III Palm/Hibiscus Islaacls and Star IsWKI bas beeD performed by City persoDDCl. A comparison of the costs as included in the low bidder's response indicates the expense to be comparable to current City-provided services. While a cost savings is not aaticipated during the first year oftbe contract, it is aaticipared that a savings wiD be }'lP!:IlH7ecJ in yan two aod three of the agJ'CCIDe:nt due to reduced equipment replacement, use of fewer parts and use of less fuel.
