A non-mandatory pre-submission meeting and proposal workshop was held September 8, 2026; the question deadline was September 9, 2026.

The scope encompasses scheduled, recurring maintenance throughout the 2027 fiscal year at designated ACHD facilities, including vegetation and weed control across dry basins and bioretention zones; grass trimming, edging, and height management; wood mulch maintenance; seasonal upkeep; tree and fire-hazard mitigation; sprinkler maintenance and winterization; targeted re-seeding; and debris removal following all operations. Pricing is submitted on a lump-sum basis for Schedules A through D covering dry basin vegetation maintenance at 25 identified basin locations, with an additional hourly rate schedule for sprinkler repair work.

Evaluation weights are project understanding and approach (45 percent), firm qualifications and key personnel (30 percent), firm history, experience, and references (20 percent), proposal cost (3 percent), and past performance with ACHD (2 percent). No set-asides or incumbent preferences are indicated. Performance and payment bonds up to 100 percent may be required upon award. Successful bidders must execute the agreement within 15 days of award. ACHD reserves the right to place multiple orders throughout the contract duration and may extend the agreement beyond the initial fiscal year term. Award may be delayed up to 60 calendar days after proposal submission without penalty.
