DEM Landscaping

The State of Nevada, specifically the Office of the Military, is seeking a comprehensive landscaping and irrigation services contract for its locations, with an initial focus on a project at 2478 Fairview Dr. in Carson City. The procurement involves a detailed landscaping renovation that includes removing existing rock, old irrigation systems, weed fabric, and dead plants/trees, followed by re-leveling the ground, applying ground treatment, replacing irrigation systems, and installing new vegetation. The project requires installing 30 five-gallon plants, 2 twenty-four-inch box trees, and creating a landscape design comprising 60% rock for slopes and 40% decomposed granite for flat areas. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including Nevada business and contractor licenses, insurance certificates, and a detailed bid proposal form with annual base bids for fiscal years 2025-2028, hourly rates, and material markup percentages. The bid is scheduled for release on 08/29/2025, with proposals due by 09/12/2025, and the contract set to expire on 06/30/2027, contingent upon Board of Examiners' approval. Contractors will be evaluated based on their ability to provide pricing through three methods: price list, flat rate/project quotes, and time and materials quotes.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide proof of specific insurance coverages, pass background checks, and adhere to environmental and non-discrimination requirements. The contract allows for potential service across multiple geographical regions within Nevada and is funded through state appropriations, with award contingent on state and/or federal funding availability. While no specific budget range is provided in the documents, the project involves comprehensive landscape renovation with detailed specifications for site preparation, irrigation updates, and plant installation. Contractors will be responsible for all material disposal and ensuring a smooth, even sub-base for the new landscaping. The procurement process will be conducted through the NevadaEPro electronic bidding system, which requires strict adherence to submission guidelines, including mandatory field completion and precise timing of quote submissions.
