Lawn Care - Landbank Federal Rebid

The City of Little Rock, Arkansas, on behalf of Pulaski County, issued an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) for lawn care and grounds maintenance services on three city-owned Landbank Federal properties, with responses due by March 20, 2026. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive landscaping services including mowing, trimming, edging, debris removal, and flower bed maintenance at three medium-sized lots (5,000-9,999 square feet each) located at 2104 S Valmar Street, 3215 W 17th Street, and 3504 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Drive, from April 13, 2026, through October 30, 2026. Bidders must submit pricing on a per-mowing-service basis for each lot category, with a standardized total of 15 mowing services over the contract period scheduled bi-weekly, though actual frequency may vary based on weather and growth conditions. Vendors must meet minimum qualifications including a valid Arkansas business license, a minimum of three years of landscape management experience, and comprehensive insurance coverage with Worker's Compensation and $1,000,000 each in General Liability, Personal Injury, and Property Damage coverage. The contract will be awarded on an all-or-none basis to the lowest responsive and qualified bidder, with the initial term of one year and options to extend for up to six additional one-year increments by mutual agreement. All line items must be submitted for consideration, pricing shall remain valid for 90 days following the close date, and responses must be submitted online through LRProcure powered by Bonfire by March 20, 2026. Standard contract terms include net 30-day payment terms with acceptable payment methods including purchasing cards, physical checks, and EFT/ACH transfers.

The solicitation is open to businesses authorized to operate in the State of Arkansas with no specific set-asides or restrictions limiting responses to disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned or women-owned businesses, though the City encourages such partnerships through its joint venture procedures if applicants choose to pursue that structure. All vendors must complete mandatory certifications addressing Israel boycott restrictions, illegal immigrant employment restrictions, and Energy, Fossil Fuel, Firearms, and Ammunition Industries boycott restrictions, depending on the final contract value. Vendors must also comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws, and out-of-state businesses are not required to obtain a Little Rock business license unless they win the contract and establish a permanent location within city limits; businesses from other Arkansas municipalities may operate under their home city's license if the classification aligns with the work. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the procurement documents, with contract value to be determined by the submitted bids evaluated against the standardized 15-service formula. The project is federally funded through the Landbank Federal Rebid initiative, and the contract operates on an as-needed basis with pricing quoted F.O.B. destination to the designated City facility, with all associated costs included in the vendor's price proposal.
