The Tallapoosa County Health Department is soliciting bids for lawn care services at two locations under Alabama's Quick Quotes program, with proposals due September 15, 2026 and a mandatory site visit required at both locations prior to bid submission.

Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform. All bids must include certifications regarding collusion, debarment status, compliance with Alabama sales tax regulations, E-Verify enrollment for suppliers employing workers in Alabama, and immigration law compliance under the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act.

The contract carries a total cost ceiling of $25,000 including the original agreement and any subsequent annual renewals, or a maximum term of five years from the effective date, whichever occurs first. Any resulting contract may be renewed annually by written agreement of both parties. Price escalation requests during contract performance are capped at 5% of the annual contract cost and must be supported by documentation.

The State of Alabama reserves the right to conduct price reasonableness and cost realism analysis on all bids. Contracts are governed by Alabama law with exclusive venue in Montgomery. The State is exempt from sales tax and will not indemnify suppliers. Either party may request contract cancellation; the State reserves the right to cancel for convenience with reasonable notice, and suppliers may request cancellation only in cases of acts of God or other unavoidable circumstances beyond their control. Disputes not resolved through negotiation must proceed to alternative dispute resolution or the Board of Adjustment. Supplier inquiries should be submitted online through the Supplier Portal to maintain a record of all communications.
