The Richmond City Board of Works and Safety approved two contracts with All For You for municipal mowing after a presentation by Matthew Keller, the city’s director of public operations and engineering.
Keller told the board the contracts — numbered 50-2026 for right-of-way mowing and 51-2026 for nuisance mowing — would put the city’s not-to-exceed annual cost for right-of-way mowing at $106,645.65, plus a 10% margin for error, and set nuisance mowings at $140 per instance. He said recent changes to crew schedules and duties helped reduce mowing costs this year by about $60,000 compared with prior seasons that in some years ran near or above $200,000.
"These are both for All For You lawn care. 50 is for right-of-way mowing and 51 is for nuisance mowing," Keller said, outlining the contract amounts.
Board members discussed the city’s previous mowing costs and acknowledged the department’s effort to trim expenses while keeping right-of-way maintenance on schedule. The board approved the contracts by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting record.
The contracts were brought forward as part of the board’s regular procurement approvals and will be administered by the public operations and engineering department. The board did not specify an effective date during the discussion.
