Contractors must complete all mowing within 30 calendar days of receiving the Notice to Proceed. Proposals are due by November 7, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with an anticipated contract award date of November 17, 2025. 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 the nine distinct dam locations. Contractors must meet specific insurance requirements including $1,000,000 in comprehensive general liability coverage, $1,000,000 in automobile liability coverage, and statutory worker's compensation insurance, with Greenville County named as an additional insured. The evaluation process utilizes a 100-point scoring system with equal weighting (20 points each) assigned to cost, project experience, references, RFP responsiveness, and safety record. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including company background, qualifications, references, safety records, and a proposed project schedule. No specific set-aside designations are indicated, and no incumbent vendor information is referenced in the available documentation.
