Landscape Maintenance for Northampton Blvd

The City of Virginia Beach is requesting bids for landscape maintenance services along Northampton Boulevard under ITB No. COVB-26-101685, with sealed bids due September 24, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The City has established a 12% minority-participation goal and is subject to the Small Business Enhancement Program (SBEP), which requires bidders intending to subcontract to commit at least 50% of subcontracted work value to businesses certified as Small, Women-owned, and Minority-owned (SWaM) by the Virginia Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity, or provide documentation of good faith efforts to meet this requirement.

The scope encompasses complete and continuous vegetative maintenance at all rights-of-way, landscape easements, roadway medians, and related work as specified in the bid documents. The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, and equipment necessary. The contract term is twelve months from award with an option to extend for four additional twelve-month periods upon mutual agreement.

Award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Bidders must submit a completed Pricing Worksheet with all delivery charges included and complete all required Attachments B–G; failure to do so renders the bid non-responsive. Contractor must maintain Workers' Compensation insurance of $500,000, Commercial Automobile Liability of $2 million Combined Single Limit, and Commercial General Liability of $1 million each occurrence / $2 million aggregate. Three references for similar work performed and compliance with the Virginia Public Procurement Act, Virginia Human Rights Act, and Americans with Disabilities Act standards are required.
