7. Bid Award for Landscape/Irrigation in Four Areas in Town to Lewis Graham Landscape, Inc. By: Gregory L. Dunham, Town Manager

Town Manager Dunham recommended to award the bid to Lewis Graham Landscape, Inc. in the amount of $42,999.89. He also recommended that an additional 10% contingency be included in the motion. These monies would cover additional anticipated costs for a well system, instead of a water meter because the City of Boynton Beach has a moratorium on any non-residential meters, and any field adjustments that may arise.

Comm Bridges moved to award the bid to Lewis Graham Landscape, Inc. in the amount of $42,999.89 and authorize an additional 10% contingency for related costs from the economic environment grant account. Comm Willens seconded the motion.

The meeting was adjourned at 5:15 PM.
