23SW SGL 189 Beaver Cleaver Mowing

The Pennsylvania Game Commission's Southwest Region is soliciting competitive bids for a mowing services contract on State Game Lands 189 located in Beaver County, specifically within Hanover and Independence Townships. The procurement involves the comprehensive mowing of ground shrubs and small trees up to 6 inches in diameter across approximately 98 acres of land. Bidders must submit electronic proposals by August 30, 2023, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 21, 2023. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the Commonwealth reserving the right to award by line item if deemed most advantageous. Qualified contractors must demonstrate the capability to perform mechanical mowing services efficiently, adhere to specified technical requirements, and comply with all federal boilerplate language and worker protection certifications outlined in the bid packet.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly identified in the procurement documents. The contract term is one year, with potential for two additional one-year renewals, suggesting flexibility for ongoing service requirements. While no incumbent vendor was mentioned, the bid packet requires contractors to submit a per-acre rate for mowing services. The funding source appears to be state funds allocated to the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Although precise budget ranges were not specified, interested contractors should be prepared to provide competitive pricing for mowing 98 acres of state game lands. Contractors must also certify compliance with various Pennsylvania labor laws, workplace safety regulations, and federal contracting requirements, including non-discrimination provisions and appropriate worker classification standards.
