This is a Schedule B pricing document for Request for Proposal No. 270000000016 issued by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Muskegon Transportation Service Center for grounds maintenance and on-call snow removal services. The contract encompasses ten service categories including mowing and trimming (30 estimated occurrences annually), fertilizer and herbicide applications (4 occurrences), gutter cleaning (2 occurrences), general grounds maintenance (3 occurrences), snowplowing (20 on-call occurrences), shoveling (20 on-call occurrences), herbicide and weed application (1 occurrence if needed), wood chips or bark delivery (1 occurrence if needed, approximately 14 cubic yards), spring cleanup (1 occurrence), and fall cleanup (2 occurrences). Contractors must submit pricing for each service line item in a modifiable format such as Microsoft Word or Excel, with the option to provide an additional non-modifiable PDF version.

Proposals must include all associated costs such as one-time setup charges, fees, and any other potential charges to the State. Contractors are encouraged to offer quick payment discount terms, specified as a percentage discount off the invoice if paid within a stated number of days following receipt. The document emphasizes that quantities listed are estimates only and the State is not obligated to purchase in those quantities, with the exact number and frequency of services being unknown and weather-dependent. Failure to complete the pricing schedule as requested may result in proposal disqualification. Contractors must certify that prices were developed independently without consultation or agreement with other contractors.
