The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is seeking a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive lawn and ground maintenance services for its West District 4 locations in Elkin, Mount Airy, and Wilkesboro through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) numbered 54-BH-6805. The procurement will cover an all-inclusive service that encompasses labor, supervision, materials, equipment, and supplies necessary to maintain state lawns and grounds properly. The initial contract term is three years, with potential extensions, and the primary objective is to ensure consistent, high-quality maintenance of NCDOT's West District 4 properties. Bids are due on December 3, 2024, at 2:00 PM ET, with pricing expected to remain firm for the first contract year and potential adjustments thereafter. The state will evaluate and award the contract to the responsive bidder offering the lowest price that meets all specified requirements, which include maintaining lawns, managing debris, and performing general ground maintenance tasks.

The procurement encourages participation from Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) and includes several mandatory compliance requirements for potential vendors. Contractors must adhere to E-Verify regulations, non-discrimination policies, and conduct background checks on personnel assigned to the project. Optional additional services such as mulching and extra debris removal will be available at the state's discretion. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the contract will cover maintenance for multiple locations across Surry County and surrounding areas. The state's procurement approach emphasizes competitive pricing, vendor qualifications, and operational capabilities, with a focus on selecting a vendor that can consistently deliver high-quality lawn and ground maintenance services across the designated NCDOT West District 4 locations.
