Mowing height must be maintained between one and five inches. Each mowing cycle must be completed within seven working days unless prevented by weather, with daily liquidated damages of $100 for non-compliance. The contractor is responsible for all equipment, labor, fuel, and materials and must provide at least one bilingual (English/Spanish) employee at each maintenance visit and competent full-time supervision.

The contract commences November 1, 2026 and continues until September 30, 2028, with an option to renew annually for up to four additional one-year terms upon mutual agreement, provided written notice of non-renewal is received thirty days before expiration of the current term.

Insurance requirements include General Liability, Automobile Liability, and Workers Compensation coverage with the City of Rosenberg named as an additional insured. The contractor must maintain a spill kit and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local codes and regulations. A pre-work conference between the City's designated representative and the contractor will be arranged prior to operations commencing. The City reserves the right to terminate the contract with thirty days' notice if TxDOT initiates construction or improvement projects in the service area, compensating the contractor for work completed to that point.
