RFP - Lawn Care Services

Terrell County, Georgia is seeking proposals for comprehensive lawn care services through a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued on March 21, 2025, with responses due by April 25, 2025. The procurement targets a contractor to provide weekly lawn maintenance services for county properties during the period from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, with potential annual contract renewals for up to five years. Required services include weekly mowing, trimming, edging, weed control, pruning, leaf removal, and general grounds maintenance across multiple county locations. Bidders must meet specific qualifications, including carrying $1,000,000 in general liability and worker's compensation insurance, possessing a Georgia Department of Agriculture Pesticide License, and maintaining a current business license. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 7, 2025 at 9 a.m., where potential vendors can obtain additional details about the scope of work and site-specific requirements. Contractors will be expected to provide detailed monthly operational calendars, ensure professional personnel conduct, and follow manufacturer recommendations for chemical applications.

While the RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, it does require vendors to submit comprehensive references and demonstrate professional capabilities. The procurement allows for competitive pricing, with bidders able to propose rates for weekly maintenance and additional as-needed services, potentially including flower bed maintenance. The contract appears to have flexibility for service modifications and potential expansion across county facilities. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the services suggests a substantial annual contract value. The solicitation indicates the county is seeking a reliable, professional vendor capable of maintaining multiple properties to a high standard, with the potential for a multi-year engagement through annual contract renewals.
