Columbus accepts S&S Landscaping bid to mow along Hwy 82
SUMMARY: The Columbus City Council voted to accept a bid of $99,000 from S&S Landscaping for grass-cutting chores along Highway 82. They began outsourcing the work last year after realizing the Department of Transportation would not reimburse them. The initial one-year contract with S&S at $75,000 was split with the county. This year's bid may be higher, but work will begin sooner. The council also amended its policy on using the Trotter Convention Center. Gaskin, a council member, expressed pride in the partnership with the county and the bid process. Overall, the council focused on cost-effective solutions for maintaining public areas.
