Mowing Contracts #1, #2, #7, and #14

The City of Greenville Public Works Department is soliciting bids for four separate mowing and grounds maintenance contracts (Contracts #1, #2, #7, and #14) covering various city right-of-way and facility areas. The scope of work includes comprehensive landscape maintenance services such as litter removal, finish mowing, edging, weed trimming, limb removal, and debris cleanup across different municipal corridors and properties. Each contract has specific geographic coverage and operational cycles, ranging from bi-weekly to weekly maintenance schedules, encompassing areas like Charles Boulevard, Arlington Boulevard, Fire Tower Road, uptown districts, city-owned properties, and major highway corridors. Contractors must submit separate bids for each contract cycle, detailing pricing for mowing, litter pickup, and annual total costs. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at the Public Works Department Conference Room, located at 1500 Beatty Street in Greenville, North Carolina. Sealed proposals are due Thursday, December 4, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., with the contract period anticipated to run from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027.

The City has established specific diversity goals, including 4% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 4% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) aspirational targets for these contracts. Prospective contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation with statutory North Carolina limits, commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and commercial automobile liability coverage of $1,000,000 combined single limit. Additional requirements include E-Verify compliance, vendor registration through the city's online portal, and submission of three client references for similar mowing projects. Contractors must be prepared to perform work Monday through Saturday during daylight hours, with Sunday mowing requiring prior approval. The city reserves the right to terminate contracts if performance deficiencies are not corrected within ten days of written notice. While specific contract values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the contracts and multiple geographic areas suggest a substantial annual investment in landscape maintenance services for the city's public spaces.
