Central District-1 Lawn & Ground Maintenance Service

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for lawn and ground maintenance services for its Central District 1 region, which encompasses Davidson, Forsyth, Rockingham Counties, and Lasker Town. The contract will require the selected vendor to provide all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, and supplies necessary to keep the state's lawns and grounds properly maintained through weekly mowing during the growing season and bi-weekly mowing during the non-growing season. The IFB provides detailed specifications and requirements, including mowing, edging, foliage removal, trimming, and maintaining parking areas and access roads. Pricing is requested on a weekly basis for each location, and optional pricing is requested for mulching and additional debris removal. The contract will have an initial term of three years with possible extensions, and bids are due by October 30, 2024, at 2:00 PM ET.

The contract includes HUB participation goals, background check requirements, and other administrative and operational requirements. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed. The IFB does not specify a budget range, but as a state and local government procurement, the award value is likely within typical ranges for lawn and ground maintenance services in the region.
