PSP Clarion Station Lawn Care

The Pennsylvania State Police, Procurement & Supply Division is seeking a small business vendor to provide lawn care services for the Clarion Station (Troop C location), with the solicitation covering jurisdictions including Clinton County, Dauphin County, Claysville Borough, and Harveys Lake Borough. The procurement requires furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment to perform grass cutting, trimming, and maintenance, specifically mandating four (4) cuttings per month and monthly weed control. The service period is structured from July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2022, with electronic bid submissions exclusively accepted through the PA Supplier Portal. Bidders must complete a mandatory Proof of Visit Form, which requires signature from both the Station Commander and the vendor, and must be submitted by the bid opening date of April 12, 2017. Key deliverables include consistent lawn maintenance at the state police station, with payment to be rendered monthly upon completion of actual services. Interested vendors must register on the PA Supplier Portal and self-certify as a small business prior to bid submission.

This procurement opportunity is explicitly set aside for small businesses, with a strict requirement that vendors must self-certify through www.smallbusiness.pa.gov before the bid opening date. Failure to obtain small business certification by the deadline will result in the bid being deemed unresponsive and automatically disqualified. The solicitation contact is Kathleen Kulp from the PA State Police Procurement & Supply Division, located in Harrisburg, with communication channels including phone (717-705-5951), email (kkulp@pa.gov), and fax (717-214-3383). While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the multi-year contract spanning five years suggests a potentially significant value for the selected vendor. Bidders are advised to continuously monitor the Department of General Services website for any potential change notices that might be incorporated into the bid specifications, emphasizing the need for ongoing attentiveness throughout the procurement process.
