The document is a proposal for reviewing the lawn care practices of the District School Board of Pasco in Land O' Lakes, Florida. Currently, the district has 21 outside lawn care contracts costing over $451,528 per year. The document highlights several problems with these contracts, such as vendors not cutting the entire campus, not providing weeding services, and not showing up to mow. The cost of the contracts has also risen dramatically over the years. The proposal suggests reallocating custodial hours to create a central mowing crew with supervisors for athletic fields and standard lawns. The cost of implementing this proposal is estimated to be $1,234,404.80 for the first year, with potential savings of $404,620.00 compared to current costs. This cost includes the purchase of equipment for $245,000, which will be amortized over 8 years. Additionally, two supervisors will be hired at a salary of $30,000 each. The document also suggests phasing in the program by adding schools to the mowing crew as contracts come up for renewal or new schools are added. This phased approach allows for a smooth transition and minimizes disruption. Overall, the proposal aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of lawn care services while reducing costs for the District School Board of Pasco.
