Tuscaloosa County Department of Human Resources is soliciting quotes for lawn care services under Alabama Quick Quotes FY27, with responses due October 29, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. and a mandatory site visit on October 24, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at 2923 Culver Road, Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

The scope covers grass cutting (not to exceed 20 cuts annually, with approximately 15 cuts expected during the growing season at 2–3 times monthly in spring and summer), weed eating, edging, mulching leaves, debris removal, and shrub and hedge trimming twice annually (spring and fall), with all cuttings removed. The specification excludes pine straw replacement and bed spraying. Services may be performed weekdays Monday through Friday or weekends, coordinated with the county office point of contact.

Pricing must be firm and fixed through the September 2026 PO period, with quotes remaining valid through October 31, 2026. Payment terms are net 30, paid in arrears following service completion, with invoices submitted only after work is finished. Under Alabama Quick Quotes standard terms, the contract may be renewed annually by written agreement, up to a total contract cost of $25,000 including the original agreement and any renewals, or for a total time period of five years from the effective date, whichever is applicable. Price escalation requests are subject to cost realism and reasonableness analysis at the Chief Procurement Officer's discretion and may not exceed increases in industry-specific price indices or the Consumer Price Index, capped at 5 percent of annual contract cost.

Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through the platform. Registered suppliers collecting Alabama state and local sales, use, and lease taxes; foreign entities registered with the Alabama Secretary of State; and suppliers with Alabama employees with verified E-Verify enrollment are eligible.
