The City of Aurora, located in Arapahoe County, Colorado, is soliciting proposals for comprehensive Property Landscape Maintenance Services through RFP No. R-2461. The procurement seeks qualified landscape maintenance companies to provide services for multiple municipal locations, including the Southeast Aurora Maintenance (SEAM) facility, water treatment facilities, and pump stations. Required services encompass a broad range of landscape maintenance tasks such as mowing, trimming, edging, fertilization, weed control, mulching, irrigation system maintenance, and native vegetation management. A mandatory site tour is scheduled for April 21, 2025, at 1:00 PM (MT), with proposals due electronically through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System by 4:00 PM on April 30, 2025. The contract evaluation will utilize a 100-point system, assessing project team qualifications (25 points), similar project experience (25 points), approach to community needs (25 points), hourly and deliverable rates (10 points), project schedule (10 points), and overall proposal quality (5 points). The initial contract term is one year, with options to renew for four additional one-year terms.

While the RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, it requires comprehensive pricing proposals covering various maintenance locations and service types. Bidders must provide detailed pricing structures, including hourly rates, monthly costs, and total proposal pricing for base services and alternate options such as fertilization, aeration, and irrigation maintenance. The City reserves the right to accept multiple proposals and may conduct interviews with top-ranked companies during the selection process. Although specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the services suggests a substantial municipal investment in landscape maintenance. The procurement appears open to qualified landscape maintenance companies with demonstrated expertise in municipal and institutional landscape management, with a strong emphasis on quality of service, community responsiveness, and technical capabilities.
