Exhibit 2 - Sample Contract revision 2024 Small Procurement (no action needed).pdf

This is a Sample Contract document, revision 2024, related to a small procurement highway mowing opportunity in Talbot County, Maryland, administered by the state's transportation department along US Route 50, designated as the Ocean Gateway. The contract encompasses both zero turn mowing and hand mowing services along state highways, including hand mowing and weed eating around signs, light poles, traffic poles, utility poles, culverts, catch basins, guardrail, and wet areas. The primary work involves a continuous 60-inch cut of all medians, 6 feet on all shoulders, and grass islands on US 50, covering approximately 15 acres from mile point 12.960 to mile point 3.46. The roadway work is bid on a per-cycle basis and invoiced upon completion of each full cycle, with up to 19 cycles available across the contract duration on an as-needed basis. Contractors must own all commercial-grade continuous 60-inch cut zero turn mowers and must provide pictures of equipment with their bid submission.

The contract specifies that no minimum quantities will be paid under this agreement, and all cycle cuts are performed on an as-needed basis. The sample contract document establishes the standard terms and conditions applicable to this small procurement opportunity. Contractors bidding on this opportunity are required to demonstrate equipment capability and availability through photographic documentation. The pricing structure is based on per-cycle completion rather than flat fees or hourly rates, allowing for cost management based on actual seasonal maintenance needs.
