About this opportunity

The Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia is soliciting bids under RFB 27-0013 for as-needed landscape materials, including pine straw, wheat straw, and hay, for its Park Services, Public Works, and Cooperative Extension departments, with bids due December 2, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. Eastern. The Finance Department Purchasing Division issued the solicitation, and a virtual bid opening follows at 3:00 p.m. Eastern. Muscogee County vendors must provide a current City of Columbus Business License, and out-of-state vendors must provide current articles of incorporation or equivalent licensing documentation. The source describes this as a documentation requirement rather than a preference or set-aside.

Requested quantities are approximately 1,000 bales of regular pine straw, 10,000 bales of long leaf pine straw, 4,000 bales of wheat straw, and 4,000 bales of hay. All material must be clean, fresh, tightly baled, and free of sticks, stones, leaves, debris, and fire ants. Bidders must agree to delivery within 72 hours of order placement and may be required to accommodate bulk tractor-trailer loads, with trailers remaining on-site between orders. Vendors must submit proof of insurance with the bid, including general liability coverage of at least $1 million and other coverages listed in the Insurance Checklist (Form 8).

The initial term is two years, with an option to renew for three additional twelve-month periods, contingent on mutual agreement and funding appropriation. Pricing remains fixed during the initial term. After that period, price escalation requests are limited to five percent and require documented justification. All freight, shipping, and handling must be included in unit prices, with no additional fees payable by the City. The City will pay net 30 days after receipt of goods and is exempt from state and federal taxes. The City may award to a primary and secondary contractor, make line-item awards, or select a single vendor based on lowest responsive and responsible bids.
