On-Call Property Mowing & Weed Abatement Services

The City of Clovis, New Mexico is seeking sealed bids for on-call property mowing and weed abatement services within city limits, supporting the Environmental Response Team (ERT) in addressing properties that violate city ordinances. The procurement is for a one-year contract with potential renewal options for up to three additional one-year periods, contingent on mutual agreement and satisfactory performance. Currently targeting over 70 identified properties, the services require comprehensive landscape maintenance including grass mowing, weed trimming, debris cleanup, and removal. Contractors must provide all necessary labor, equipment, materials, supervision, and transportation, with specific performance standards mandating grass heights not exceeding 2 inches and complete site cleanup. Required equipment includes riding and push mowers, weed trimmers, blowers, hand tools, and vehicles for debris hauling. The bid submission deadline is November 21, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. local time, with a recommended pre-bid meeting scheduled for November 12, 2025, at City Hall. Bidders will need to submit hourly rates for standard residential lots, large/commercial parcels, weed trimming, debris removal, and optional emergency/after-hours response.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The cost submittal form allows bidders to quote rates that include comprehensive service coverage, with pricing to encompass labor, equipment, fuel, and disposal expenses. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the procurement suggests a recurring need for ongoing property maintenance services within Clovis city limits. The contract appears designed to provide flexible, as-needed support for the Environmental Response Team, with work assignments generated based on identified non-compliant properties. Though a specific budget range was not disclosed, the scope suggests a potentially significant annual investment, given the current inventory of over 70 properties and the potential for list expansion. The hourly rate-based structure provides the city with scalable service options and cost control mechanisms. Interested contractors will need to demonstrate capability to quickly respond to work orders, maintain high service standards, and provide photographic documentation of completed work.
