The document is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the City of Tucson, Arizona, for a Qualified Vendor List (QVL) focused on Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) Landscape Maintenance. The City seeks qualified firms to provide specialized landscape and maintenance services for GSI assets located on public property, including maintenance of inlets, outlets, earthworks, basins, berms, swales, and associated vegetation. The project is part of Tucson Water's Storm to Shade Program and will follow procedures outlined in the City Storm to Shade Program GSI Maintenance Manual. The City may award contracts by group or combination of groups, with proposals accepted for one or more service groups: Group 1 - Routine GSI Landscape and Structure Maintenance, Group 2 - Certified Herbicide Application, Group 3 - Rainwater Harvesting Cistern Maintenance, and Group 4 (partially truncated in the document).

The solicitation emphasizes a holistic approach to maintaining GSI assets, ensuring that these public infrastructure investments are preserved and functional. Contractors will be responsible for clearing trash/debris, managing invasive vegetation, maintaining structural integrity, and ensuring clear pedestrian and vehicle access. The City reserves the right to adjust the scope based on anticipated needs and available funding. While specific pricing terms, funding sources, and award dates are not explicitly detailed in the provided document, the RFP indicates a comprehensive evaluation process that considers contractor experience and capability to provide specialized maintenance services across different GSI asset management groups.
