2025 Forest Grove Dr/Middle Rd Corridor Landscape Maintenance Program

The City of Bettendorf, Iowa, is seeking qualified contractors to provide landscape maintenance services along the Forest Grove Drive and Middle Road corridor, focusing on medians and roundabouts. The contract requires biannual spring and fall cleanups, scheduled for early April and October, weather permitting, with additional application of pre-emergent weed preventer three times annually across all landscape beds. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically via the city's designated e-bidding system, as paper, email, or fax submissions will not be accepted. The contract size is estimated between $50,000 and $150,000, and the city retains the right to cancel the agreement if service is deemed unsatisfactory, offering other contractors the opportunity to fulfill the scope at the original bid price. The project emphasizes compliance with all submission requirements, including the submission of necessary documentation to avoid disqualification. The selected contractor will be responsible for maintaining the landscape areas to the city’s standards, with the contract potentially subject to renewal or cancellation based on performance. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Jason Manfull, and the project’s details, including the response deadline of February 25, 2025, and further procedural instructions, are accessible through the city’s online bidding portal. This initiative aligns with the city’s broader efforts to ensure well-maintained public spaces and efficient procurement processes.
