PSP Stonington Station Lawn Care

The Pennsylvania State Police, specifically Troop F's Stonington Station located in Northampton County and Terre Hill Borough, is soliciting bids for lawn care and maintenance services. The contract requires a vendor to provide four lawn cuttings per month and monthly weed control at the station, with services scheduled from April 1, 2018, through June 30, 2022. Bidders must complete a mandatory Proof of Visit Form by arranging an on-site inspection with the Station Commander, which must be submitted prior to the bid opening date of January 31, 2018. The successful vendor will be responsible for furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to maintain the grass areas, including removing clippings and debris. Deliverables include consistent lawn maintenance with four monthly cuttings and monthly weed control treatments. Interested vendors must submit electronic bids through the Pennsylvania Supplier Portal and must coordinate a site visit to be considered for the contract.

This procurement opportunity is specifically set aside for small businesses, requiring mandatory self-certification through www.smallbusiness.pa.gov prior to the bid opening date. Vendors who do not obtain small business certification by the deadline will have their bids deemed unresponsive and automatically disqualified. Payment will be made monthly upon completion of actual services rendered, with the Commonwealth only obligated to pay for services actually performed and with no minimum work guarantee. Bidders must also comply with criminal background check requirements for staff performing on-site services and must maintain appropriate workers' compensation insurance. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the multi-year contract spanning from 2018 to 2022 suggests a potentially significant opportunity for a qualified small business lawn care provider. All bidders are required to register on the Pennsylvania Supplier Portal and are responsible for monitoring the Department of General Services website for any potential change notices or addenda to the invitation for bid.
