Council renews right-of-way maintenance contract for weekly service at $197,040

Council approved a one-year renewal option to extend the city's right-of-way maintenance contract (RFP 2025-0007) to provide weekly maintenance across major thoroughfares at an annual cost of $197,040. Staff said the amendment changes the contract from seasonal service to year-round weekly maintenance to keep major corridors maintained.

"So we're asking council to approve us to do it on a weekly basis," city staff (identified in the meeting as Aaron) told council; one council member said she would withhold support until an amended scope of services was included in the packet for review, but the motion to renew carried. Staff said the amended scope of work is in the back of the audit/contract book and will be emailed to council and posted. Funding will come from the public-works right-of-way maintenance account.
