About this opportunity

Hood County, Texas is soliciting bids through Invitation for Bid (IFB) 2025-B11 for comprehensive cemetery maintenance services across multiple cemetery locations. The procurement seeks a vendor to provide grounds maintenance for 14 county-owned cemeteries ranging from 0.09 to 10 acres in size. Normal maintenance services include mowing, trimming around gravesites and fence lines, removing dead vegetation, trash collection, fallen tree limb removal, and cutting brush/saplings up to 3 inches in diameter. Proposals must be submitted by August 25, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. CT, with vendor questions due by August 12, 2025. The contract term is one year with four optional one-year renewal periods, with an anticipated award date in September/October 2025. Evaluation criteria appear to focus on lowest price per site and/or best value, with pricing structured on a per-site, per-service basis and additional maintenance services billable at a per man-hour rate. The maintenance frequency allows for a maximum of 40 visits annually, with the highest activity during April through November (4 visits per month) and minimal maintenance during January through March.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide all labor, equipment, tools, materials, chemicals, supplies, and supervision for maintenance services. Bidders are required to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation, Auto Liability, and General Liability. All herbicide applications must be performed by a licensed applicator on the contractor's payroll. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the bid form requires contractors to provide per-site pricing, with the total annual cost calculated by multiplying the per-site rate by 40 weeks of potential service. Price increases may be considered annually if supported by U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index documentation and submitted 45 days prior to the contract anniversary date, subject to county approval. Hays County is tax-exempt, and federal taxes and Texas Limited Sales Excise Tax should not be included in bid submissions.
