Required services include mowing (at heights of 2-3 inches in warm weather and 1.5-2 inches in cooler months), edging, trimming, weeding, weed spraying, watering, pruning, fertilization using bio-based products, and seasonal leaf cleanup. Evaluation will be based on technical approach (ability to meet performance requirements and detailed explanation of methodology and equipment), past performance (rated as acceptable, neutral, or unacceptable), and fair and reasonable pricing. Critical deadlines include February 11, 2026, at 10:00 AM Mountain Time for submission of questions, a mandatory site visit on February 9, 2026, at 1:00 PM Mountain Time, and final offer submission by February 19, 2026, at 10:00 AM Mountain Time.

The contract will consist of a one-year base period beginning April 1, 2026, with four optional one-year renewal periods, extending through March 31, 2031. Performance will occur at 1749 West 500 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84104, where the contractor must perform work during regular office hours (6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding national holidays) at contractor discretion.
