Landscaping: Schuyler Street and Baker & Hazeltine by Persell

The City of Jamestown Department of Public Works is seeking proposals for a landscaping restoration project in Chautauqua County, New York, focusing on two specific areas: Schuyler Street and Baker & Hazeltine by Persell. The project involves restoring and seeding lawn areas impacted by recent street reconstruction and infrastructure improvements, totaling 889 square yards (667 sq yards for Schuyler Street and 222 sq yards for Baker & Hazeltine). Contractors must be registered with the New York State Department of Labor and comply with prevailing wage rates under PRC# 2025004551. Proposals are due by 10:00 am on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, and can be submitted electronically via BidNet/direct platform or as a hard copy to the Jamestown DPW. The selected contractor will have 10 work days to complete the project after receiving the notice to proceed, with a mandatory one-year guarantee period on the work. Key requirements include providing all materials, equipment, and labor according to the City of Jamestown Department of Public Works Standard Specifications for Right-of-Way Work, adhering to strict safety protocols, and maintaining appropriate insurance coverage.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must follow comprehensive safety requirements, including mandatory use of safety gear and traffic control measures, with a $100 per day penalty for non-compliance with personal protection policies. Contractors are required to submit certified payroll forms and demonstrate compliance with labor regulations. The total contract value is not to exceed $35,000, representing a relatively modest but focused landscaping restoration project. Bidders must provide a total lump sum bid for the landscaping work and be prepared to meet all technical specifications outlined in the Request for Proposals. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project appears to be a direct result of recent street reconstruction and infrastructure improvements in the Chautauqua County area. Successful contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability, adherence to safety standards, and the ability to complete the work within the specified 10-day timeframe.
