About this opportunity
Texas Southern University (TSU) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for comprehensive landscaping, arborist, mowing, and tree trimming services covering its 150-acre main campus and multiple off-site properties in Houston, Texas. The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to provide a wide range of services including routine mowing, tree trimming, pruning, removal, stump grinding, pesticide application, and seasonal color planting (150 flats annually). Proposers must offer a detailed lump-sum fee proposal with itemized breakdowns for various service categories and provide hourly rates for personnel. The evaluation committee will assess proposals based on specific criteria: Experience and Qualifications (25%), Scope of Services (10%), Schedule (15%), References (10%), and Cost (40%). A mandatory pre-proposal walkthrough is scheduled for December 16, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., with question submissions due by December 19, 2025, and sealed proposals required by 3:00 p.m. Central Time on January 15, 2026. Respondents must demonstrate ISA certification for arborists, hold valid licenses, and provide proof of general liability insurance ($500,000 per occurrence, $1,000,000 aggregate) and workers' compensation insurance.
The contract will have an initial three-year term with two optional single-year renewals, and TSU anticipates awarding to one or multiple vendors based on best value to the State of Texas. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the university reserves the right to negotiate with the apparent winner if proposed fees exceed the budget, potentially moving to the next highest-scoring candidate if initial negotiations fail. The RFP requires a 4-hour emergency response time for tree services and specifies detailed trimming requirements, including 13-foot clearance for driveways and 8-foot clearance for pedestrian areas and parking. Specific campus buildings require maintenance to ensure camera and lighting sight lines are unobstructed. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the services and the 150-acre campus suggest a substantial contract value. The contract will be governed by Texas law, with venue in Harris County, and subject to various state statutory requirements including compliance with purchasing regulations and multiple certification standards.
