Jay eyes lowest bid for cuts

The town of Jay approved Jennifer Flowers Lawn Service as the lower of two bids for lawn service in the town at Monday night's council meeting.

Two proposals were submitted for landscaping Bray-Hendricks park, gazebo park and Jay cemetery with a minimum of 12 cuts, with the option of any extra cut to be as needed.

The lower bid came from Jennifer Flowers Lawn Service for $975 per cut and DeGraaf Landscape bid $1,500 per cut.

Seib said he would ask for a cut every two weeks and then as needed through the growing season, or for a special occasion, such as July 4.

Seib said the town has specifications on how high the grass should be in the RFP and that there is no time limit on the contract, which gives the town some flexibility.

In a motion made by Councilman Wayne Godwin which was seconded by Councilman Josh Holloway, the motion carried.
