Lawn care service-MM (MA) 2027

The Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences is requesting bids for annual lawn care service at its Montgomery Medical facility (8160 AUM Drive, Montgomery, Alabama) under a Master Agreement through September 30, 2027, with bids due October 16, 2026. The estimated contract value does not exceed $25,000, with a maximum term of five years from the effective date and potential annual renewals by written agreement.

The scope includes mowing, edging, limb cutting in the parking area, string trimming, debris and litter removal on each visit, and edging of all curbs and sidewalks. Service is scheduled twice monthly, with an estimated 35 lawn visits in fiscal year 2027. The supplier must provide all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision. The grassy area is minimal due to a new Forensic Lab under construction at the front of the building. The Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences will establish the beginning service date and schedule for return visits.

Billing must be submitted monthly on a per-visit line-item basis. The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax. Price increases during contract performance are limited to five percent annually and must not exceed industry-specific price index indices or Consumer Price Index increases. The State reserves the right to conduct price reasonableness and cost realism analyses and may request proof of supplier qualifications, including certificates of insurance.

All suppliers must comply with Alabama's Beason-Hammon Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act, including E-Verify enrollment verification, and must certify compliance with sales tax collection and remittance requirements. Site visits may be arranged by contacting Tony at 334.359.9024. Responses must be submitted electronically through Alabama Buys.
