The Pennsylvania State Police, Procurement & Supply Division has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for lawn care services at the McConnellsburg Station (Troop G) located in the state of Pennsylvania. The procurement specifically requires a contractor to provide comprehensive lawn maintenance, including four grass cuttings per month and monthly weed control services. The service period is scheduled from July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2022. Bidders are required to complete a mandatory site visit and obtain a signed Proof of Visit Form from the Station Commander before the bid opening date of March 16, 2017. The solicitation requires vendors to submit electronic bid responses through the PA Supplier Portal and mandates that all labor, materials, and equipment necessary for lawn maintenance be provided by the contractor. Payment will be processed monthly upon completion of actual services rendered. The contact for this procurement is Kathleen Kulp, who can be reached at kkulp@pa.gov or by phone at 717-705-5951.

This bid is exclusively set aside for small businesses, with a strict requirement that vendors must self-certify as a small business prior to the bid opening date through www.smallbusiness.pa.gov. Failure to obtain small business certification by the deadline will result in the bid being deemed unresponsive and automatically disqualified. The procurement covers jurisdictions including Dauphin County, Fulton County, Harveys Lake Borough, and Mcmurray CDP. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the multi-year contract duration suggests a potential significant investment in ongoing maintenance services. Vendors interested in responding must first register on the PA Supplier Portal to obtain a vendor number and enable online bid submission. The procurement process emphasizes compliance, with all bidders required to monitor the Department of General Services website for potential change notices that will be incorporated into the final bid requirements.
