Citywide Landscape Construction Job Order Contract

The City of Phoenix is requesting qualifications for a Citywide Landscape Construction Job Order Contract under which up to three contractors will be selected, with statements of qualifications due October 23, 2026 at 12:00 pm through the City's Procurement Portal and a pre-submittal meeting scheduled for October 13, 2026. An 8.5% annual Small Business Enterprise (SBE) utilization goal applies, with contractors required to demonstrate good faith efforts to meet this goal on each Job Order and annually throughout the contract term; failure to achieve the goal constitutes breach of contract.

The scope covers on-call landscape construction services including park structures, multi-use trails, sports fields, concrete work, masonry, streetscapes, stormwater management, fencing, signage, landscape removal and installation, irrigation system installation and repair, grading, soil preparation, and specialty facility rehabilitation. All work is located in Arizona. Contractors must hold appropriate Arizona contractor licenses and utilize the City's UNIFIER web-based project management database. Individual Job Order Agreements may not exceed $4 million in construction costs, and contractors must provide performance and payment bonds for each Job Order proposal prior to execution.

The initial JOC term is 36 months or $20 million per contract (whichever occurs first), with an option to renew for an additional 24 months or the balance of a maximum contract amount of $15 million total, including all amendments. Evaluation criteria are general firm information (150 points), firm experience and qualifications (250 points), key personnel experience (250 points), approach to performing required services (350 points), and reference checks (21 points), totaling 1,021 points. Statements of Qualifications are limited to 10 pages maximum and must include a bonding capacity statement. Reference evaluations from three agencies or entities must be submitted directly to the City by October 23, 2026. Selection notification is anticipated for mid-November 2026, with a JOC Workshop scheduled for late November 2026.
