This file contains attachments to a Request for Proposals issued by the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, for comprehensive landscaping services. The District is seeking qualified service providers to deliver landscaping maintenance at multiple closed sites identified in Attachment A, along with weed control, retention pond maintenance, and shrub bed maintenance across all District facilities. The scope of work is detailed in Part I, Section C of the RFP. Proposals are due electronically through the District's e-Procurement Portal on May 13, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., with a deadline for submitting questions by April 16, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. No site visits or bidders' conferences are specified in the procurement documentation. Service provider selection is scheduled for May 27, 2026, followed by contract negotiation on June 9, 2026. The initial contract term extends from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, with two optional one-year renewal periods available through June 30, 2031.

The RFP employs a two-phase evaluation process, with Phase 1 assessing responsiveness to submission requirements and Phase 2 evaluating proposals on understanding of District needs and service capability (35 points), demonstrated experience and qualifications (30 points), scope of services offered (20 points), and cost (15 points). Required qualifications include commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and workers' compensation insurance as required by law, along with background checks for all personnel and subcontractors. Pricing shall exclude Ohio sales tax, which the District will provide exemption for upon contract award. The RFP documentation does not identify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or incumbent vendor restrictions. The District reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to award the contract to one or multiple service providers. Specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the available materials, though the multi-year contract structure and broad scope of services across all District facilities suggests a substantial procurement opportunity.
