Action Requested
Hire Larson Companies as the City's grass and weed abatement contractor.
Background/Discussion
For the past several years, the City has hired an outside contractor to mow grass and weeds on properties
in violation of our nuisance ordinances. Earlier this year, staff advertised for bids. Staff received six
proposals for long grass abatement. The City requested proof of insurance and worker's compensation
insurance. In the review of the proposals, staff requested an hourly charge and a minimum charge. Staff
applied the hourly rate to the average amount of time invoiced over the past year for nuisance abatement.
The average time was 2.51 person hours. A full breakdown is attached.
After review of the costs proposed, their insurance, and their ability to complete the work, staff is
recommending Larson Companies believing that they will satisfactorily meet the requirements at a
reasonable cost to the property owner.
Financial Impact
None. Fees including the cost of mailings will be billed to the property owner at the end of the year, and
if unpaid, will be assessed to the taxes.
