Evaluation criteria include total price, experience with similar services, proposal quality and completeness, equipment availability, professional standards maintenance, and local hiring metrics—including the number of City of Buffalo residents and minority and female workers employed, and MWBE certification status. Contractors must hold current City of Buffalo licenses for both plowing and landscaping; maintain comprehensive general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, auto liability of $1 million, and statutory workers' compensation; and name BUDC, Erie County Industrial Development Agency, City of Buffalo, and the Buffalo Lakeside Commerce Park Property Owners Association as additional insureds.
