272650 - Lawn Care - Winston Co Health Dept

The Winston County Health Department is requesting proposals for lawn care services under Alabama's Quick Quote process, with responses due October 1, 2026 and a mandatory site visit required.

Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform. Foreign entities must register with the Alabama Secretary of State. If suppliers employ workers in Alabama, they must verify enrollment in the E-Verify program and certify compliance with Alabama sales tax collection and remittance obligations.

The total contract cost cannot exceed $25,000 including the original agreement and any subsequent annual renewals, or run longer than five years from the effective date, whichever occurs first. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis and may request written proof of supplier qualifications including manufacturer authorizations, professional licenses, and certificates of insurance. Price escalation requests may be considered if material or labor costs increase significantly, but any approved increases cannot exceed 5 percent of the annual contract cost.

Suppliers must acknowledge receipt of the solicitation and all amendments, affirm compliance with all terms and conditions, and certify they have not engaged in collusion. The contract is governed by Alabama law with disputes resolved through good faith negotiation and alternative dispute resolution in Montgomery, Alabama. The State is exempt from sales tax and will not indemnify suppliers.
