This bidding schedule document outlines grounds maintenance services for the State of South Carolina across 21 state-owned facilities located primarily in Columbia, with two additional sites in West Columbia. The contract term is five years (2023-2028). The grounds maintenance scope includes mowing (46 visits per year), edging and trimming (26 visits per year), fertilization (12 visits per year), landscape bed annuals (2 visits per year), landscape bed mulching and weeding (2 visits per year), and debris removal (46 visits per year) at each facility. Optional services available for bidding include insecticide treatment, fungicide treatment, pre-emergent weed control of turf, post-emergent weed control of turf, and post-emergent weed control of landscape beds.

The bidding schedule establishes a standardized pricing structure requiring vendors to submit unit prices for each service type per visit and identify the number of annual visits at a uniform rate across all 21 buildings. The total annual cost across all facilities is estimated at $1,848.00, calculated over the five-year contract term. Bidders must provide a total price per building for the full duration of the contract. The schedule indicates that optional services are being solicited separately from core maintenance requirements, allowing bidders to propose pricing for specialized treatments and weed control interventions in addition to the base maintenance program.
