Erie 1 Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) is seeking competitive bids for comprehensive landscaping and grass mowing services across three Career & Technical Center locations in New York: Harkness in Cheektowaga, Potter in West Seneca, and Ken-Ton in Tonawanda. The procurement covers a one-year contract from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, with an option for a single year renewal. Required services include weekly grass mowing, monthly shrubbery trimming, bi-monthly weeding, annual mulching, and organic pesticide and herbicide applications. Bidders must comply with prevailing wage rates (PRC #2025900427) and provide detailed documentation including a Corporate Resolution, Non-Collusive Bidding Certification, Iran Divestment Act Certification, and Sexual Harassment Policy Certification. The bid responses are due by May 28, 2025 at 11:00 a.m., with bid award scheduled for the June 11, 2025 Board of Education meeting. Evaluation will be based on the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with pricing considered for the total service across all three locations. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, bidders must meet comprehensive qualification requirements including proof of insurance and adherence to specific service standards. The procurement does not specify restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. Bidders are strongly recommended to conduct pre-bid site walk-throughs at each location and must use exclusively organic pesticides and herbicides. Though specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the bid documents suggest a competitive pricing model that will consider the total cost of services across all three technical centers. Potential vendors must demonstrate capability to maintain detailed site maintenance, coordinate with custodial staff, and perform high-quality landscaping services with precise timing and execution. While no incumbent vendor information is provided, the bid emphasizes a comprehensive approach to landscape maintenance that includes debris removal, pruning, weeding, and seasonal clean-up activities.
