INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: March 08, 2024
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
Through: Ronald Burton, CPM, City Manager
From: Darlene Thomas-Pierre, CPM, Code Compliance Manager
RE: Proposed Resolution No. 23651 —Authorizing the Third-Year(Second and Final
Renewal) of Six (6) Vendors on a Rotation Basis for the Mowing of Privately-
owned and City-owned Vacant and Developed Lots in an Area of the City
Designated as Area A.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that City Council adopt P.R. No. 23651, authorizing the third-year (second
and final renewal) of the contracts with six(6) vendors for the mowing of privately-owned and
city-owned residential and commercial vacant and developed lots in Area A. The contractors
are: (1) K & D Affordable Lawn Service of Port Arthur, Texas @ $0.0032 per square foot; (2)
B&N LLC of Port Arthur,Texas @$0.0034 per square foot;(3)Valencia Lawn Service of Port
Arthur,Texas @$0.0035 per square foot;(4)Frank's Trucking of Port Arthur,Texas @$0.0039
per square foot; (5) JJ and K Industrial, LLC of Port Arthur, Texas @ $0.0039 per square foot;
and (6) DMJ Landscaping of Port Arthur, Texas @ $0.0045 per square foot. Each contractor
has demonstrated that they are qualified and capable to perform mowing services in Area A.
Background:
The six(6)contracts were approved by Resolution No.22-189 on April 26,2022. One(1)vendor
opted not to renew their contract. The vendors have been providing quality service and have met
the terms of their contracts with the City. The performance of the contractors has been
commendable. These contracts are necessary due to the abundance of high grass in Port Arthur,
and the Environmental Health Division needs multiple contractors to maintain each area. Below
is the order of rotation for the contractors.
