RFP Citywide Unimproved Alleyway Grounds Maintenance

The City of Fort Worth is requesting proposals for a non-exclusive agreement to provide grounds maintenance services on citywide unimproved alleyways for the Park and Recreation Department on an "as needed" basis, with proposals due August 6, 2026.

The scope encompasses mowing, vegetation management, debris removal, and general grounds upkeep across designated unimproved alleyway locations throughout the city. Services will be performed as determined by the City, with the contractor expected to maintain responsiveness to maintenance requests and accommodate flexibility in scheduling based on seasonal needs. The awardee must provide labor, equipment, and materials necessary to complete grounds maintenance tasks.

This is a non-exclusive agreement, meaning the City reserves the right to engage multiple contractors for these services. Pricing is tied to actual service requests and hours worked; the contractor must submit detailed cost proposals itemizing labor, equipment, and materials. Payment terms, invoicing procedures, and performance standards are outlined in the draft agreement attached to the RFP.

Standard contractual provisions apply: the contractor must carry insurance, maintain liability coverage, provide worker's compensation, and comply with City regulations and applicable state and federal laws. The agreement allows for periodic review and adjustment of terms based on actual service delivery and seasonal variations in grounds maintenance demands.
