Lawn service

The Alabama Manufactured Housing Commission is soliciting lawn-service proposals for its Montgomery facility at 350 South Decatur Street, with quotes due September 28, 2026.

The scope includes grass cutting and trimming during the growing season, edging of walks and concrete areas, and blowing off decks and concrete twice monthly year-round. The contractor must remove leaves, trash, and debris twice monthly, maintain shrub beds free of weeds, prune shrubbery four times annually or as needed, and add mulch in spring. The service period runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and submit quotes electronically through the State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer's Public Solicitation site. Questions must be submitted online through the Supplier Portal. The total contract value is capped at $25,000 across the initial term and any renewals combined. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analyses. Price escalation requests may be considered if material, labor, or other cost components significantly increase through no fault of the supplier, provided documentation is submitted and increases do not exceed five percent of annual contract cost or applicable industry-specific price indices.

Suppliers must comply with Alabama tax certification requirements, E-Verify employment verification if employing workers in Alabama, foreign corporation registration requirements, and debarment certifications. The contract may be renewed annually by written agreement of both parties up to the five-year maximum from the effective date. The State is exempt from sales tax and accepts only electronic payment methods at no additional cost. The State reserves the right to cancel for convenience with notice or upon supplier request if performance is prevented by acts beyond their control.
