About this opportunity

The City of Novi is soliciting competitive bids for a comprehensive landscape planting project covering Fall 2025 and Spring 2026, which involves the purchase, installation, and two-year warranty of landscape plant materials. The invitation to bid (ITB) seeks a contractor to supply and install approximately 740 plant units, including deciduous and evergreen trees ranging from 1" to 3" caliper, multi-stem trees, shrubs, and perennials, with a strong emphasis on native Michigan species. Bids are due on Friday, August 8, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. Eastern Time, with an anticipated contract award date of August 25, 2025. The contract duration is one year, with potential for up to three one-year renewals under the same terms and conditions. The procurement requires detailed documentation, including itemized invoices specifying the address and type of each planted tree, and mandates specific planting seasons: Fall 2025 (October 1 to December 1) and Spring 2026 (April 15 to June 1). Liquidated damages of $100 per calendar day will be assessed for project delays, and the payment structure is phased, with 80% paid upon completion and acceptance, 10% after replanting replacements, and the final 10% after completing the two-year warranty period.

The ITB does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract appears open to qualified landscaping contractors with demonstrated capabilities in large-scale municipal planting projects. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the project—covering 740 plant units with a two-year warranty—suggests a substantial contract value. The City of Novi requires bidders to demonstrate expertise in native Michigan tree and shrub species, planting techniques, and maintenance protocols. Contractors must provide comprehensive warranty conditions and be prepared to replace any plants that do not survive the initial two-year period. The procurement process emphasizes technical competence, with evaluation likely focused on the contractor's ability to meet precise planting specifications, maintain plant health, and adhere to strict seasonal and documentation requirements. The potential for up to three one-year contract renewals indicates the city's interest in establishing a long-term relationship with a reliable landscaping contractor.
