No Small and Underutilized Business Program (SUBP) goals are established for this contract, though contractors are encouraged to provide full and fair opportunities to certified Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprises.

The scope encompasses graffiti removal, illegal dumping removal and disposal, boarding and securing of vacant buildings, lot inspections, fencing repairs, tree trimming, and miscellaneous property maintenance on City-owned lots throughout Minneapolis, with primary concentration in North Minneapolis.

Contractors must provide before-and-after photographs for graffiti removal, illegal dumping removal, and unsecured building discovery, along with material receipts and detailed invoices by property address. All vendors must verify non-debarred status through SAM.gov and the Minnesota Office of State Procurement.

The initial contract term runs from award through December 31, 2028, with an option for one additional calendar-year renewal at the City's discretion. Pricing shall remain firm throughout the initial term; price escalation for renewal is limited to documented evidence of industry-wide, regional, or operational cost increases, generally not exceeding 5 percent, submitted 60 days prior to contract year end. The City reserves the right to award multiple contracts and is not obligated to use an exclusive vendor.

Bidders must comply with the City's Living Wage Requirements per City Ordinance Chapter 38 and submit a Bid Deposit.
