Explanation

§                     General Services Landscape Management Division provides median maintenance to more than 1,000 locations along city-maintained roads across the City of Charlotte.

§                     These contracts will include the maintenance of material located within the medians including but not limited to turf, ornamental trees, shrubs, and perennials.  The work will also include mulch replacement, trash and debris removal, storm debris removal, and leaf removal.

At renewal, potential price adjustments may be considered based on legitimate and justified increases in the cost of doing business.
