About this file

This document is a Notice of Intent to Award for Invitation for Bid (IFB) 24/25-04 issued by the City of Sanford's Purchasing Division in Florida, specifically for annual beds maintenance in Downtown Sanford and the Riverwalk area. The City intends to award the contract to Premier Lawn Maintenance, LLC, following a competitive bidding process that closed on December 17, 2024. The project involves landscape maintenance services for 110 total planting locations, including 58 landscape sites, 8 hanging baskets, and 44 landscape pots, with a requirement to install 5,424 4-inch plants. The service period spans one year, with potential for up to five years of renewals, and includes quarterly landscape installations, bi-weekly weeding (24 times annually), and plant replacement across downtown areas like 1st Street, 2nd Street, Sanford Avenue, Centennial Park, and the Riverwalk.

The procurement process involved two bidders, with Premier Lawn Maintenance, LLC submitting the lowest base bid of $86,376.00, compared to JDMF, LLC's bid of $138,848.84. The contract requires bidders to have at least one consecutive year of verifiable experience, currently do business with the public, and serve a minimum of three commercial accounts of similar size and scope. Bidders must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability and workers' compensation. The City reserves the right to award to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder and maintains flexibility to split the award or not award some items based on the city's best interests. The solicitation did not outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and the Notice of Intent to Award is subject to final departmental approval.
