Colonies PID board offers its landscape contractor, Custom Gardens, a one-year renewal at up to 26% more and redoes the FIMC management contract
The Colonies PID advisory board met because its landscape maintenance contract with Custom Gardens was in its fourth year and expiring March 21, 2020, and the contractor was raising its price 26% (about $2,800 a month). The board voted unanimously to offer a one-year renewal at up to a 26% increase, and began revising bid specifications for a new contract. Staff said the three-year management contract with FIMC approved in August 2018 had never been formalized; the board voted to redo it for two and a half years, expiring September 30, 2022.[1]

Staff told the board the FIMC management contract was in the first year of a three-year contract with CPI increases "but the contract was never formalized," after an August 2018 motion for a new three-year contract starting March 21, 2019, and that the contract could not be backdated. The board voted unanimously "to redo the contract with FIMC for two and a half years, expiring September 30, 2022." [1]
