The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania State Police, specifically Troop C in Clearfield County, is seeking a lawn care service contract for the Clearfield station. The procurement involves comprehensive monthly lawn maintenance services, including mowing, weed trimming, shrub and tree trimming, and weed control. The contract period is initially set from April 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023, with potential for four additional one-year renewal options. Vendors are required to provide all labor, equipment, and materials necessary to complete the maintenance work, with specific requirements including signing in before and after each cutting and carefully avoiding grass clippings on vehicles. A mandatory on-site visit is required, and vendors must complete a Proof of Visit Form signed by the Station Commander or representative, which must be submitted before the bid opening date of January 19, 2023.

This contract opportunity is exclusively set aside for small businesses, mandating that vendors must self-certify as a small business through www.smallbusiness.pa.gov prior to the bid opening date. Failure to obtain certification will result in bid disqualification. Contractors must carry worker's compensation, public liability, and property damage insurance as specified in the contract documents. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, compensation will be based on the submitted bid price, and the Commonwealth will only pay for services actually rendered, with no minimum work guarantee. The procurement follows a competitive bidding process specific to small businesses, emphasizing local economic opportunities for smaller service providers in the lawn care and maintenance sector.
