Landscaping and Groundskeeping Material and Supplies

The Deer Park Union Free School District in Suffolk County, New York, is seeking competitive bids for landscaping and groundskeeping materials and supplies through Bid No. BDP25-012. The procurement covers a comprehensive range of materials including crushed concrete, sod, fertilizer, lime pellets, sand, road salt, and various paving and wall stones from specific manufacturers. The contract will be for an initial four-year period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, with options to renew for three additional one-year periods. Bids are due electronically through BidNetDirect.com or by mail on May 1, 2025, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time. Vendors must provide detailed specifications, comply with local, state, and federal regulations, and submit comprehensive documentation including a non-collusion affidavit, Iranian Energy Sector Divestment Certification, vendor information sheet, and references. The district reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to award contracts on an item-by-item or total basis, with pricing to be net FOB to any point in the Deer Park School District.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though vendors must comply with non-discrimination policies. Successful bidders will be required to provide comprehensive insurance coverage and demonstrate the capability to supply new materials and perform specified services. The district is tax-exempt and will not pay fuel surcharges unless specifically indicated in the contract. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the bid allows for flexibility in procurement, with the district potentially choosing to pick up materials directly when advantageous. Vendors must provide competitive unit pricing for each listed item and be prepared to handle potential bulk or individual purchases based on the district's requirements. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the bid suggests a significant annual procurement value for landscaping and groundskeeping materials across the school district's facilities.
