- If there is excess trash on the properties, how is that handled? Is that invoiced in addition to the normal mowing invoice amount? Does that need preauthorization?
- If there is excess trash, please notify the Land Bank and document excess photos of trash. The excess trash pick-up can be included within the mow round invoice but should be properly documented with the parcel address and photos.
- Can you share with me what the size limit is on what is constituted as a Small Lot and a Large lot?
- A Standard Mow Small Sites is categorized 0.01-.05 Acres and Standard Mow Large Sites are over .05 Acres.
- May I have a list of parcels? Also, what is appropriate to bid on this? Or how does one bid on this based on not knowing the extent of work potentially needed.Due to the nature of the portfolio, the list is available upon request. Within this portfolio, the work that will need to be done is weekly lawn mowing, weed whacking, garden bed maintenance, fall and spring clean up, and bush trimming/pruning (if needed). Bids will be evaluated based experience, pricing, references.
- To calculate the cost per year, utilize the proposed schedule. For example, Zone BCD proposed mow schedule is:
April – Perhaps one mow.
May – Two times.
June – Two times.
July – Two times.
August, September, October – One time each month.
The cost for the year should be calculated based on the schedule.
