Bid #96-021 was opened on October 9, 1996 with Gator Landscaping Company submitting the low bid of $144,490.

Gator has been satisfactorily performing this work since then. Gator's low bid in 1994 for bid #94-019 was $101,970. The areas we have added to the scope has continued to grow as our right of way responsibilities increase. The biggest increase was the addition of all the HigWands rights of way with the. exception of the Sheoah Boulevard medians at a cost of$17,625.00. The contract period is for twelve months with an option for a second and third twelve month period contingent on acceptable job performance.
