This is a project specification document for Greenville County's Soil and Water Conservation District PL566 Watershed Dam Mowing project in South Carolina. The project requires annual mowing services for nine flood-control earthen dams and auxiliary spillways constructed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service during the 1960s and 70s. The dams are distributed across three watersheds: five locations in Huff Creek, one in Rabon Creek, and three in the South Tyger River, with individual site areas ranging from 2.8 to 11.9 acres. Contractors must complete all mowing within 30 calendar days of receiving the Notice to Proceed. Proposals for RFP #26039 are due by November 7, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with contract award anticipated on November 17, 2025. The evaluation process employs a 100-point scoring system with equal weight (20 points each) assigned to cost, project experience, references, RFP responsiveness, and safety record. The contract is structured as a single-year engagement with potential for future annual renewals based on satisfactory performance.

Pricing is submitted on a lump sum basis for all nine dam locations collectively. Contractors must carry specific insurance coverage including $1,000,000 in comprehensive general liability, $1,000,000 in automobile liability, and statutory worker's compensation insurance, with Greenville County named as an additional insured. No specific budget range, set-aside designations, incumbent vendor information, or specialized technology integration requirements are indicated in the bid documents. The project targets qualified environmental services, landscaping, or agricultural maintenance firms with demonstrated expertise in watershed management, vegetation control, and dam maintenance. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation including company background, qualifications, references, safety records, and a detailed project schedule to meet RFP responsiveness requirements.
