8-2 - SB26018 - Workforce Grounds Maintenance - Cost Proposal Form (3 year).xlsx

This is a Cost Proposal Form for grounds maintenance services issued by the State of Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) for a three-year contract serving the Cedar City Courthouse, Workforce Services, and DNR locations. The contract encompasses routine grounds maintenance services including spring and fall clean-up and preparation, year-round maintenance, fertilization, annual flower planting, flower cost-plus arrangements, and sprinkler repairs at the primary service location of Cedar City Workforce at 176 East 200 North, Cedar City, UT 84720. Contractors must submit pricing for all three contract years using the specified cost proposal form, with options to provide either hourly rates or lump sum fees for each service category depending on the service type.

The evaluation methodology ranks contractors based on competitive pricing across service line items, with the lowest-cost bidder receiving maximum points for each item and subsequent bidders receiving points on a 10% spread scale. Service line items carry varying point allocations: Past Performance Rating (20 points), Spring Clean-up and Preparation (20 points), Fall Clean-up and Preparation (20 points), Routine Grounds Maintenance (8 points), Fertilization (4 points), Annual Flower Planting (4 points), Flowers Cost-plus Fee (4 points), and Sprinkler Repair (4 points). For flower planting with cost-plus arrangements, contractors must provide only the fee markup as a percentage rather than total costs. All yellow cells in the cost proposal form require completion, except where contractors need provide only either an hourly rate or fee based on the service structure specified in the Grounds Maintenance Scope of Work.
