LETTER OF INTRODUCTION
Country Bill's sets the standard by offering top rate full service landscaping at the best possible value.
This is something the City of Miami Beach has come to know and expect through our eleven-year
working relationship. We would like the opportunity to further that relationship by presenting the
following proposal in response to RFP # 21-05/06 for complete turf mowing services at all non-
contracted sites citywide.
We pride ourselves on directly addressing the individual needs of each client while offering the best
possible service with unbeatable response times. In our 20 years of business Country Bill's has never
missed a deadline. We are a Certified Small Business Enterprise that is family owned and operated.
The owner, John Allred, Jr., is directly involved with all clients and puts himself entirely at their
disposal 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. All of our clients have come to know the
same from Country Bill's Vice President and Senior Project Manager, Dave McCarty. Both Mr. Allred
and Mr. McCarty are Certified Landscape Contractors by the FNGLA, and are licensed by the State of
Florida to apply pesticides. Mr. Allred is also an ISA Certified Arborist.
Country Bill's has been serving the City of Miami Beach for more than a decade, including six of its
departments: Parking, Greenspace Management, Capital Improvements (CIP), the Environmental
Division, Property Management, and Code Enforcement. Last year alone, Country Bill's was trusted to
provide more than $1 million in landscape management services to the City. We have been working
with the City of North Miami for the past 18 years, providing them with $300,000+ annually in
landscape management services. Country Bill's has a 14-year working relationship with the City of
North Miami Beach, providing them with $350,000+ in yearly landscape management services. We
have also been working with the City of Hollywood for more than a decade, and in 2005 provided them
with $138,000 in landscape management services.

Miami Beach:
