Field cutting /brush hogging at greenville county solid waste facilities

Greenville County Procurement Services Division is seeking proposals for field cutting and brush hogging services at four solid waste facilities through RFP #22065. The solicitation covers maintenance activities at Blackberry Valley Landfill, Piedmont Landfill, Enoree Landfill, and Twin Chimneys Landfill, with specific requirements including mowing vegetated areas twice annually, hand trimming around monitoring wells and pipes, and managing challenging terrain like steep slopes and wet ground. Vendors must submit a comprehensive proposal including a lump sum pricing structure, price per additional acre, and a detailed statement of qualifications covering company background, staffing, corporate credentials, individual resumes, and references. The evaluation will be based on five weighted criteria: responsiveness to the RFP, detailed scope of work, integrity and past performance, cost, and references, with each criterion scored on a 0-5 point scale. The non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting was scheduled for April 5, 2022, with proposal submissions due by April 21, 2022, at 3:00 pm, and a tentative award date of May 11, 2022.

The contract does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The services agreement allows for an initial contract term ending June 30, 2023, with potential extensions for up to four additional one-year terms. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 per occurrence for Comprehensive General Liability, $1,000,000 for Automobile Liability, and Statutory Worker's Compensation. The contract is subject to non-appropriation, meaning it can be terminated if funds are not allocated in the current or subsequent fiscal years. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the contractor will be required to provide insurance certificates within 10 working days of the Notice of Award and submit invoices for payment with a 30-day grace period. The county reserves the right to reject any proposals and will heavily weigh the vendor's integrity, reputation, experience, and past performance during the evaluation process.
