The Missouri Office of Administration's Facilities Management, Design & Construction (OA-FMDC) division is seeking lawn care services for the Autumn Hill State School located at 300 Autumn Hill Drive in Union, Missouri, within Franklin County. The Request for Quote (RFQ FMDC21-0042) solicits bids for comprehensive lawn maintenance, specifically requiring 18 service visits that include mowing, bagging, and edging throughout the property. The initial contract term is 18 months, with provisions for two additional 12-month renewal periods, during which vendors must specify their maximum percentage increase and minimum percentage decrease for each renewal term. Responses to the RFQ were due by April 13, 2021 at 5:00 PM CDT, with vendors required to submit either hard copy or electronic submissions through the MissouriBUYS procurement system. Bidders must provide a signed cover page, applicable exhibits, and a completed pricing page, with pricing to be submitted on a per-service unit basis. The evaluation criteria appear to be primarily focused on pricing, with vendors responsible for demonstrating competitive and transparent pricing structures.

The RFQ does not indicate any specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on vendor participation. No information is provided about incumbent contractors or existing service providers for this lawn care contract. The solicitation is open to all vendors without apparent limitations, and no specific qualifications beyond the ability to perform the outlined lawn care services are explicitly stated. While the total estimated contract value is not disclosed, the requirement of 18 service visits suggests a moderate-scale maintenance contract for the state facility. The State of Missouri will provide funding through the Facilities Management, Design & Construction division, with payment terms to be specified by the selected vendor.
