Parkway School District is seeking qualified local contractors to provide tree and stump removal and grinding services through a blanket purchase order agreement. The procurement involves removing dead or diseased trees and stumps from various district locations, with specific requirements including stump grinding to a depth of 4"-6" below grade and complete site cleanup. Contractors must be prepared to handle brush and branches up to 6" in diameter, with larger branches to be removed at the contractor's expense. The bid (Proposal Number 26-15) was published on August 14, 2025, with a bid opening scheduled for August 28, 2025, at 3:00 PM CST. Evaluation criteria will focus on the "lowest and best" proposal, considering factors such as specification compliance, vendor supply capabilities, inventory maintenance, prior district experience, and financial strength. Vendors must submit bids through the Parkway School District Bonfire Portal, with no late submissions permitted. The contract opportunity does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but the district does indicate a preference for products manufactured, assembled, or produced in the United States, with a particular preference for Missouri-based companies when quality, price, and delivery are comparable. Vendors must comply with the Federal Work Authorization Program (E-Verify) requirements, particularly for contracts exceeding $5,000, and provide documentation of employment verification. The district estimates spending approximately $30,000-$50,000 for a twelve-month period, with usage dependent on weather and storm conditions. The contract allows for multi-year proposals, with the district reserving the right to terminate the agreement after the first year without penalty. Comprehensive insurance requirements include worker's compensation, general liability, and automotive liability coverage. Successful vendors must be prepared to potentially extend bid terms to other local school districts and provide flexible service options based on the district's needs.
