Services are required March through November annually on a seven-to-eleven-day cycle, totaling approximately 31 cuttings per year or as needed based on weather and growth. The contractor must supply all equipment and personnel.

The contract period runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. Pricing is submitted on a monthly basis per location, with award based on total monthly cost across all four sites. Delta County is exempt from state and local sales and use taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309.

Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of three references with at least twelve months' prior lawn maintenance experience. All bids require completed vendor identification, bid submission form, contract page, notarized affidavit, conflict of interest questionnaire, W-9, Form 1295 Certificate of Interested Parties, and references.
