2026 Weed Mowing project

West Valley City Public Works in Utah is seeking contracted weed mowing services through a procurement process with a deadline of May 6, 2026. The project encompasses mowing and maintenance services across 39.8 total acres distributed among 13 designated mowing areas throughout the city, including roadways, detention basins, park strips, and right-of-way areas. The mowing areas range from 0.24 acres to 16.68 acres, with many locations featuring steep slopes requiring specialized attention. The contractor will be compensated on a per-acre basis, with the quoted price applying uniformly to all cutting cycles throughout the year, as the city anticipates requesting multiple cuttings at the same per-acre rate. The city's intent is to award the entire scope of work to a single contractor, though it reserves the right at its sole discretion to award any or all listed locations. The lowest responsible bidder will be required to execute a standard procurement agreement and must provide detailed maps and site descriptions for accurate bidding. The contractor assumes full responsibility for all costs associated with service delivery, including materials and labor, with no provision for additional compensation due to unforeseen circumstances, and the city retains termination rights for convenience.

The procurement document does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types eligible to respond. Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $3,000,000 per occurrence and $4,000,000 aggregate, along with all other legally required insurance. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. Payment terms, specific performance dates, and contract duration will be completed during the contracting phase following bid award. The specific budget or award value is not listed in the procurement materials; compensation will be calculated based on the contractor's quoted per-acre price multiplied by the acreage maintained and the number of cutting cycles requested throughout the contract term.
