The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania State Police is seeking a lawn care service contract for Troop D, Beaver station located in Beaver County. The procurement is specifically for monthly lawn maintenance services from April 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023, with potential for four additional one-year renewals. Detailed specifications require the vendor to provide all labor, equipment, and materials for comprehensive lawn care, including monthly mowing, weed whacking, shrub and tree trimming, and weed control. The service requires a mandatory on-site visit prior to bidding, during which prospective vendors must complete and submit a Proof of Visit Form signed by the Station Commander. The bid response is due by January 19, 2023, and vendors must carefully review all specifications, considering prevailing site conditions that could impact service delivery. Key qualifications include carrying appropriate worker's compensation and liability insurance, and the ability to perform all specified maintenance tasks with professional standards.

This procurement is exclusively set aside for small businesses, with a mandatory requirement that vendors self-certify through www.smallbusiness.pa.gov prior to the bid opening date. Failure to obtain small business certification will result in an automatic bid rejection. The Commonwealth will compensate the vendor only for services actually rendered and maintains no obligation to guarantee a minimum amount of work. No incumbent vendor is identified in the solicitation documents, and no specific budget range is disclosed. Vendors must understand that the contract payment will be strictly based on completed services, with no guaranteed minimum work volume. The contract terms emphasize flexibility for the Commonwealth, allowing them to adjust service requirements as needed while maintaining strict small business participation requirements.
