Non -responsive
John Deere Landscape was the low bidder at $6,768.86. However, their bid did not
include the Fall Annual Color and the Spring section was incomplete, so staff
recommends rejecting the bid as non -responsive.
Staff reviewed the bid documents from the second low bidder, Progressive Growers,
Inc., and found them to be accurate.
Fiscal Analysis
This is an on -going maintenance activity with no fiscal impact beyond the purchase
amount.
