Tuscaloosa Co DHR/Lawn Service

The State of Alabama, specifically the Tuscaloosa County Department of Human Resources (DHR), is seeking a lawn service contractor for fiscal year 2025, covering the period from May to September 2025. The procurement is a request for quote focused on lawn maintenance services for the Tuscaloosa County DHR office located at 3716 12th Ave. E. Services include grass cutting (limited to 10 cuts per fiscal year) and shrub/hedge trimming (two trims per year), with detailed requirements such as weed eating, edging, debris removal, and leaf mulching. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for Monday, May 12, 2025, at 1:00 p.m., and vendors must attend and sign in to be eligible to submit a quote. The contract requires firm, fixed pricing valid through September 2025, with payment terms of net 30 days to be paid in arrears after service completion. Vendors must submit price quotes that include all specified service requirements, coordinate cutting schedules with DHR contacts Annetta Abrams and Anderia Blackmon, and understand that the contract explicitly does not include pine straw replacement or bed spraying.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types are mentioned in the documentation, vendors must comply with standard Alabama state procurement requirements, including registration in Alabama Buys, tax compliance certification, and E-Verify enrollment. The procurement follows the State of Alabama Division of Procurement's standard boilerplate terms, which establish legal and procedural guidelines for participation. Vendors must be prepared to accept electronic payment and understand that the state reserves the right to analyze bid pricing and request additional qualification documentation. The contract appears to be a relatively small, localized procurement with a limited scope, suggesting a modest budget range likely under $10,000 for the fiscal year. Potential bidders should carefully review the Quick Quote Standard Boilerplate and Lawn Service Specifications to ensure full compliance with all requirements, with Montgomery, Alabama designated as the sole venue for any potential legal proceedings related to the procurement.
