About this opportunity
North Carolina Central University is requesting proposals for comprehensive lawn maintenance services across its approximately 136-acre Durham County campus under RFP #61-RFP25011, with proposals due August 13, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST. A mandatory pre-proposal site visit is scheduled for April 22, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST at the Physical Plant Conference Room, 206 Eagle Campus Drive, Durham, North Carolina — though this date appears to have already passed relative to the current solicitation timeline.
The scope encompasses all-inclusive grounds maintenance at 23 designated campus locations plus the Chancellor's House, including mowing, edging, trimming, debris removal, landscape bed maintenance, shrub and tree pruning, flower bed seasonal planting, and general lawn care. Routine maintenance is scheduled Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Pricing shall be submitted on a per-visit basis for each campus location and as hourly or per-unit rates for emergency response, special landscaping projects, mulch installation, seasonal flower planting, and snow/ice removal.
The initial contract term is one year, with commencement required within ten business days of the effective date. All vendors must be registered with the North Carolina Secretary of State, maintain active eVP vendor status, and comply with E-Verify employment authorization. Required qualifications include proof of financial stability, complete background checks for all personnel, appropriate insurance coverage, and at least three customer references for similar services. No subcontracting is permitted without prior written state consent.
Evaluation is weighted as follows: Compliance with Specifications (10 points), Relevant Experience (10 points), Vendor References (5 points), and Price (10 points), totaling 35 points. Written questions are due July 31, 2026 at 4:00 PM EST, with responses provided by August 5, 2026. The university reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, award to single or multiple vendors, and modify service areas during the contract period.
