PSP Troop A Somerset Lawn Maintenance Services

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) Troop A Somerset facility located at 142 Sagamore Street in Somerset, is seeking a lawn maintenance services contractor for a one-year contract with potential four one-year renewals. The procurement involves comprehensive lawn care services, including weekly mowing, trimming, shrub and tree maintenance, weed control, and debris removal. Vendors must provide all necessary equipment and ensure that cut grass does not contact State Police or personal vehicles. To be considered, bidders must complete a mandatory site visit and obtain a signed Proof of Visit form from the Station Commander, submit a completed cost matrix, provide proof of insurance, and complete the Worker Protection and Investment form (BOP-2201). Electronic bid submissions must be made through the PA Supplier Portal by July 22, 2024, with all questions to be submitted in writing to RA-SPPSPBIDS@PA.GOV no later than July 15, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. Evaluation will be based on the lowest responsive bid from a responsible vendor.

The contract opportunity is explicitly set aside for Small Businesses certified through the Department of General Services' self-certification process. Bidders must complete vendor registration on the PA Supplier Portal to submit a bid, and penalties exist for providing false certifications, including potential contract termination and three-year ineligibility for Commonwealth contracts. No incumbent contractor is identified in the documentation. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, vendors will be required to complete a detailed cost matrix covering services for the initial contract year and potential renewal periods. The contract will be funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with no minimum work guarantee. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with various Pennsylvania labor and workforce safety laws, including the Construction Workplace Misclassification Act, Minimum Wage Act, and Prevailing Wage Act. The initial contract term is from August 1, 2024, to July 31, 2025, with the potential for four subsequent one-year renewals.
