The City of Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department is requesting bids for routine mowing services covering approximately 29.35 acres of Right of Way in Area 301, with bids due August 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST. A Small Business Enterprise (SBE) sheltered-market program applies to eligible small businesses principally located within Guilford, Randolph, and Rockingham counties.

The contract term spans three mowing seasons from September 1, 2026, through October 31, 2028, with services commencing in September 2026. The City will award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and reserves the right to make multiple contract awards where bids do not exceed budget. Pricing shall be submitted per mow via the Greensboro eProcurement System (GePS).

Minimum qualifications include at least two years of mowing services experience, a minimum of three current or recent references demonstrating similar project size, active registration with the North Carolina Secretary of State, and a Certificate of Insurance with required endorsements.
