Athletic Field Maintenance

Parkway School District in Missouri is soliciting competitive bids for Athletic Field Maintenance services through a three-year contract commencing July 27, 2026 and concluding July 26, 2029. The procurement encompasses maintenance services for 18 athletic facilities across four district high schools: Parkway South High School (five fields: baseball, softball, JV baseball, practice football, and soccer), Parkway North High School (three fields: baseball, softball, and soccer), Parkway West High School (five fields: baseball, softball, practice football, lacrosse, and soccer), and Parkway Central High School (five fields: baseball, softball, soccer, JV, and football practice). Qualified vendors must submit sealed bids exclusively through the Parkway School District Bonfire Portal by the deadline of May 21, 2026 at 1:00 PM CST, with the district reserving the right to reject any late submissions. Award decisions will be based on the "lowest and best" bid criteria, considering specification compliance, vendor capacity to supply all services, commitment to maintain adequate operations, prior experience with the district, and financial strength of the company. Bidders must provide at least three references preferably from educational institutions and demonstrate capability to maintain all athletic fields according to district standards throughout the contract term. Required qualifications include compliance with federal E-Verify work authorization requirements, OSHA safety training provision within 60 days of project commencement, and security badge acquisition for all personnel accessing district facilities.

No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on organizational types are identified in the procurement documents. The district does prioritize domestic products manufactured in the United States and extends preference to goods produced or manufactured within Missouri when quality, price, and delivery are comparable, though this preference applies primarily to product procurement rather than service contracts. All bidders must execute an Affidavit of Non-Collusion certifying the independence and legitimacy of their bid submission and an Affidavit of Compliance with Missouri's Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act, which is required for contracts exceeding $100,000 with companies employing 10 or more individuals. No incumbent vendor information, current contractor details, or specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the bid documents. Contract terms and conditions require vendors to maintain all required insurance, comply with non-discrimination laws, provide detailed warranty information, and accept the district's right to extend the agreement for up to one additional month under the same terms or terminate for poor performance with 15 days' written notice.
