Landscape Equipment

The City of Houston is soliciting bids for the procurement of new, professional-grade landscaping equipment to replace outdated inventory. The requirement consists of a specific list of Stihl equipment, including 77 trimmers across three models, 32 backpack blowers, 7 pole saws, 14 chainsaws, and 2 stick edgers, as well as one DR Power Pro lawn push edger. All equipment must be new, meet current safety and operational standards, and include standard manufacturer warranties. While substitute brands are prohibited for trimmers, stick edgers, pole saws, chainsaws, and blowers, a substitute brand will be accepted for the walk-behind push edger. Items are to be delivered FOB destination to the Kelley Maintenance Facility in Houston, Texas. The contract will be awarded to a responsive and responsible bidder based on the overall low net bid, although the City reserves the right to award by individual item or combination of items. Bidders must submit product specifications and a signed official signature page, and they may be required to provide technical data within five calendar days of a request to avoid bid rejection. Selected vendors must comply with City of Houston insurance requirements and certify adherence to Texas Government Code regarding anti-boycott measures and human trafficking policies. Payment is due thirty days after the City approves the invoice or accepts the goods.
