2025 Turf Maintenance Services for City Facilities

The City of Bettendorf, Iowa, is seeking proposals from qualified contractors to provide comprehensive turf maintenance services at various city facilities during the 2025 growing season. The scope includes mowing, trimming, edging, fertilizing, and weed control, with contractors required to submit fixed-rate pricing proposals that cover all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, debris disposal, and incidentals necessary for service delivery. The contract emphasizes the importance of responsiveness, as incomplete submissions will result in disqualification, and grants the city the authority to cancel services if performance is deemed unsatisfactory, with the opportunity to re-engage other contractors at the original bid prices. Bids must be submitted electronically through the city's designated e-bidding platform, with no paper or email submissions accepted, and the contract value is estimated to range between $50,000 and $200,000. The solicitation is identified as RFP-2025-0205, posted on February 7, 2025, with a response deadline of February 25, 2025. The primary point of contact is Jason Manfull, reachable via email and phone. The contract duration is for the 2025 season, and the city reserves the right to evaluate service quality throughout the contract period. The overarching goal is to ensure consistent, high-quality turf maintenance across all city facilities, with clear procedures for bid submission, evaluation, and potential contract cancellation if standards are not met. This procurement aligns with the city's broader efforts to maintain municipal grounds efficiently and cost-effectively, leveraging competitive bidding to secure reliable service providers.
