Landscape cleanup and maintenance services at the Bellflower DMV Field Office.  Term: Thirty-six (36) months

The contract provides for one-time landscape cleanup and bi-weekly maintenance services at the Bellflower DMV Field Office in California for a term of thirty-six months, with a potential six-month extension under specific circumstances. The contractor must hold a valid C-27 Landscaping Contractor License issued by the Contractors State License Board and is required to furnish all labor, tools, materials, equipment, and travel necessary to perform the services. The one-time cleanup service includes weed abatement, removal of flammable debris, clearing overgrown vegetation and stumps, replenishing soil and mulch, and addressing erosion, in addition to all routine maintenance tasks. Bi-weekly maintenance must meet DMV-approved standards, including debris removal from the property and a five-foot perimeter, clearing drains and gutters, and eliminating vegetation from cracks in hardscapes. Services are to be paid monthly in arrears, with invoices requiring detailed documentation including service logs, dates of non-performance, and calculations to verify payment. The total contract award is $33,000, with the one-time cleanup priced at $1,500 and the bi-weekly maintenance service at $750 per month for thirty-six months, totaling $27,000, plus $1,500 annually for three yearly maintenance services. The budgeted cost is $35,643, but the award is lower based on the lowest responsible responsive bid. Payment is governed by the California Prompt Payment Act, and all insurance must be primary, in force for the full term, with the contractor covering any deductibles. Contractors must comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws, including non-discrimination requirements under US DOT regulations, and maintain workers’ compensation coverage with liability limits of at least $1,000,000 and a waiver of subrogation in favor of the State. The agreement is contingent on legislative funding and may be terminated if funds are not appropriated or if the contractor is subject to economic sanctions after a 30-day notice. All bids must be submitted as a single non-fillable PDF under a specific subject line to DMVBIDS@dmv.ca.gov by July 15, 2026, and must include required certifications, insurance proof, license verification, and signed documents. The DMV may reject bids for false claims, prior terminations for cause, or non-compliance, and may terminate the contract for failure to correct deficiencies without additional cost.
