2025 Learning Campus Landscape Maintenance Program

The City of Bettendorf, Iowa, is seeking qualified contractors to provide landscape maintenance services for the Bettendorf Family Museum and Library, part of the Learning Campus. The contract involves two main service periods: a spring cleanup scheduled between April 7 and April 18, 2025, and a fall cleanup from October 6 to October 17, 2025, both weather permitting. Additionally, the contractor must apply pre-emergent weed preventer three times annually in all landscape beds during spring, summer, and fall. The city emphasizes that all required documentation must be submitted to avoid disqualification, and the city retains the right to cancel the contract if service is deemed unsatisfactory, with the opportunity to reassign services at the original bid price. Bids must be submitted electronically through the city's e-bidding platform, with no paper or email submissions accepted. The contract, valued between $20,000 and $50,000, is managed by the Iowa Department of Administrative Services and overseen by Jason Manfull. The procurement process includes strict adherence to submission guidelines, and the city reserves the right to cancel or re-tender the contract if necessary. The project is part of a broader procurement effort that includes various bids and proposals for services such as recycling processing, construction, equipment, and cooperative purchasing, reflecting the city's comprehensive approach to managing public service contracts and infrastructure projects. The detailed timeline, submission requirements, and scope of work highlight the city's commitment to ensuring quality landscape maintenance and compliance with procurement policies.
