About this opportunity
The City of Tucson is soliciting proposals for a Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) Landscape Maintenance services on a continuous basis through April 10, 2030, with the initial submittal period closing at 2:00 p.m. Arizona Time on May 22, 2025. A pre-submittal conference will be held on April 23, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. via Microsoft Teams.
Offerors may submit proposals for one or more of seven service groups: Routine GSI Landscape and Structure Maintenance; Certified Herbicide Application; Rainwater Harvesting Cistern Maintenance; Consultation and Outreach; GSI Reconstruction; Manual or Truck Watering; and Irrigation System Oversight and Repair. Successful offerors will be placed on the City's QVL and awarded contracts for potential task orders. GSI assets include inlets, outlets, earthworks (basins, berms, swales), and associated vegetation on public property throughout Tucson. Maintenance work ensures structures and landscaped features are clear of trash, debris, invasive vegetation, and sediment, with structurally sound rockwork and unobstructed sight lines and access.
For Groups 1 and 2, contractors must obtain an Arizona Department of Agriculture Pest Management Division Business License and hold applicable certifications. Contractors must maintain Commercial General Liability insurance ($1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate), Commercial Automobile Liability ($1 million combined single limit), and Workers' Compensation at statutory limits. All contractors must hold a City of Tucson Business License and comply with the Living Wage Ordinance.
Pricing proposals must be submitted on a cost-per-hour basis for each service group offered. Evaluation criteria are Method of Approach (40 percent), Qualifications and Experience (40 percent), and Price Proposal (20 percent). After the initial submittal period, the City intends to review submissions every three months, though it may evaluate sooner or later at its discretion. The contract includes renewal options of up to four additional one-year periods at the City's sole discretion. Funding derives from a consumption-based fee on Tucson Water customers as part of the Storm to Shade program.
Opportunity text
This solicitation will be open and continuous through April 10, 2030, meaning that the City will accept proposals from prospective offerors at any time through April 10, 2030. The initial submittal period is open through 2:00pm Local AZ Time on May 22, 2025. After the initial submittal period, the City intends to review submissions every three months. Offers may be evaluated sooner or later than 3 months at the City's discretion. Successful offerors will be awarded a contract and placed on the City's Qualified Vendor List for Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) Landscape Maintenance. The City of Tucson requests proposals from qualified firms for specialized landscape and other maintenance services for Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) assets located on public property in Tucson. GSI assets are comprised of inlets and outlets/overflows, earthworks (such as basins, berms, and swales) that contain and direct the flow of water, as well as the vegetation within and adjacent to these features. Maintenance of GSI assets ensures the physical structures and landscaped features designed to capture and use stormwater runoff from hardscape are clear of trash/debris, invasive vegetation, and sediment; and that the rockwork is structurally sound and trees are not blocking pedestrian or vehicle site visibility or access. GSI maintenance requires a holistic and careful approach to ensure the City's investments in these assets are maintained in a manner that reflects their value as a public resource and part of the City's infrastructure.
