Lawn Mowing Services

The Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs (ODVA) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for lawn mowing services at the Sallisaw Veterans Home, located in Texas County. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive lawn maintenance for approximately 9.5 to 10 acres, with mowing required every 10 days during operational hours from June 2nd, 2025, through November 30th, 2025. Specific service requirements include mowing, trimming, edging, debris removal, and monthly pruning of shrubs and ground covers. Bidders must demonstrate five years of continuous experience in mowing and trimming services, submit a detailed equipment list, and provide three verifiable references documenting their service capabilities. The evaluation will be comprehensive, focusing on responsiveness to solicitation requirements, cost-effectiveness, and the contractor's ability to maintain professional standards while working on state property. The proposal is due by May 27th, 2025, with electronic invoice submissions required monthly, detailing purchase order number, work location, dates, services performed, hours, and materials used.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the RFP includes standard Oklahoma state procurement compliance requirements, such as the Non-Collusion Certification and Central Purchasing Responding Bidder Information form. Bidders must confirm they are registered with the Oklahoma Secretary of State, provide workers' compensation insurance verification, and certify they are not engaged in boycotting goods or services from Israel. The documents do not indicate any incumbent vendors or specific infrastructure integration requirements. The RFP does not specify a precise budget range or award value, but contractors will be expected to provide a competitive pricing structure for the lawn maintenance services. Potential bidders must complete several mandatory forms, including references, non-collusion certifications, and a responding bidder information form, which will be carefully reviewed as part of the overall evaluation process to ensure compliance with state procurement regulations.
