Landscape And Maintenance Of City Medians

The City of San Bruno is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive landscape maintenance contract covering city-owned medians, rights-of-way, and designated lots. The selected contractor will be responsible for providing all labor, equipment, and supervision to perform a wide range of services, including weed control, shrub and tree care, pest management, litter removal, and hardscape cleaning such as graffiti removal. The scope of work is organized into five distinct zones—covering major thoroughfares like El Camino Real and San Bruno Avenue—along with two alternates for specific rights-of-way and lot locations. The initial contract term is scheduled to run from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2027, with the possibility of two one-year extensions through 2029. Proposals will be evaluated based on responsiveness, technical merit, and the firm's ability to execute the required scope of services. Qualified bidders must possess a California C-27 Landscaping Contractor license, appropriate pest control certifications, and a valid Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) registration. Compliance with prevailing wage laws for San Mateo County is mandatory, and all subcontractors must also be DIR-registered. To ensure high standards, the City requires the assignment of two mid-level project managers and will conduct monthly site meetings. Furthermore, monthly payments are contingent upon the submission of specific documentation, including irrigation schedules, repair reports, and pesticide use reports. Proposals must be submitted via email to the City's contract department no later than October 20, 2026, at 4:00 PM PDT.
