About this opportunity
The City of Scranton Department of Business Administration is soliciting sealed bids for grass cutting services at the Taylor Landfill (ITB #2025-ITB-094), a approximately 20-acre municipal facility in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. The procurement requires monthly grass cutting services at a six-inch cutting height across two fenced-in areas totaling 20 acres plus a gravel road, with provisions for additional cuttings during unusually wet months, to be performed using tractor-equipped rotary blades set no deeper than 2 inches. The successful contractor will be responsible for all fuel and equipment costs and is prohibited from mowing when ground conditions are wet and unsuitable for equipment operation. The contract term runs from May 1, 2026, through November 27, 2026, with an option to renew, and pricing shall be submitted as a lump-sum monthly bid through the City's e-Procurement Portal at https://secure.procurenow.com/portal/scrantonpa. All bids must be submitted electronically by 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 12, 2026, with questions and clarification requests due by 4:30 p.m. on February 5, 2026. The bid opening will be conducted in City Council Chambers on the second floor of City Hall, with a public video available on the Electric City TV YouTube channel.
As a public works project, the successful bidder must hold a valid contractor's license for the City of Scranton prior to award and is subject to Pennsylvania prevailing wage requirements, public works employment verification, nondiscrimination certification, and steel product procurement provisions. Contractors must furnish a bid bond equal to 10 percent of the contract amount at submission, with performance and payment bonds of 100 percent each required at contract award. Comprehensive insurance coverage is mandated, including workers' compensation and liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence for comprehensive general liability. Contractors must also execute a Federal Certification Regarding Lobbying, certifying that no federal appropriated funds will be used for lobbying activities. No specific incumbent vendors, set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, or estimated award values are identified in the procurement documents, though the lump-sum monthly pricing structure will serve as the primary evaluation criterion for bid selection.
