The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) is soliciting bids for roadside hand mowing services in Prince George's County through a Small Business Reserve (SBR) procurement designated as MOW5210R. The contract covers hand mowing services around guardrails, signs, grass islands, and culverts on MD 5 and MD 210, encompassing approximately 225.0 acres for the 2025 Spring Mowing season. A base crew of four staff members (one supervisor and three laborers) will perform the work, with each callout requiring a minimum of five consecutive weather-permitting business days. The work is scheduled to begin around mid-April 2025, with a contract duration not to exceed 24 months or until the bid amount is exhausted. Bidders must submit their proposals by April 29, 2025, at 2:00 PM local time, with a public bid opening at the Marlboro Shop Maintenance Facility. Key qualifications include a minimum of two years of experience in similar services, full licensing and insurance to work in Maryland, and the ability to perform comprehensive hand mowing and litter pickup services. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder who meets all specified requirements. This procurement is exclusively a Small Business Reserve (SBR) contract, meaning only certified small businesses are eligible to bid, which significantly restricts the pool of potential vendors. There are no MBE/DBE or VSBE subcontracting goals, and the contract does not involve federal funding. The bid form allows for five cycles per contract period, with pricing structured per cycle and including options for additional general labor at an hourly rate. Bidders must provide comprehensive company details, including company name, address, contact information, and tax identification numbers. The estimated contract includes 35 full cycle days and 100 additional labor hours, with unit prices to be specified for hand mowing/litter pickup crew and general labor. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the bid form is designed to capture detailed pricing information that will inform the total contract value. The procurement seeks to establish a contract for essential roadside maintenance services that ensure safety and aesthetic upkeep of state highways in Prince George's County.
