Landscape Equipment Repair

The City of Redlands is seeking qualified vendors to provide comprehensive repair and maintenance services for a wide range of landscape equipment used by its Parks Division, including riding and walk-behind mowers, string trimmers, hedge trimmers, blowers, chainsaws, edgers, aerators, and small engines. The contract is structured as a one-year purchase order with an estimated annual value of $17,000, though this amount is explicitly noted as an approximation and does not guarantee the volume of work. Vendors must be prepared to perform diagnostics, preventative maintenance, engine and hydraulic repairs, blade sharpening and replacement, belt and tire replacement, and other necessary services using OEM or equivalent parts. The successful vendor is expected to maintain consistent communication on repair status, accommodate same-day repairs when feasible, and provide emergency service support. Equipment from major brands such as Toro, Scag, Kabota, Stihl, Echo, and Honda will require service. Award will be determined based on competitive hourly labor rates, turnaround time, and overall value to the City, with no formal weights assigned to these factors, indicating a trade-off evaluation approach rather than a strict lowest-price selection. Vendors must hold a valid Redlands city business license and comply with California prevailing wage laws, requiring submission of certified payroll records upon request, and adhere to OSHA and CAL-OSHA safety standards. Invoices must be submitted in duplicate, itemized, and clearly reference the purchase order number to the designated billing address, with no electronic invoicing systems specified. The contractor is responsible for all costs and risks until equipment is accepted at the designated delivery point and must indemnify the City against claims arising from services performed. There are no option periods, extension clauses, or formal size or socioeconomic set-asides, and the City retains the right to terminate the contract with limited liability. The solicitation closed on July 23, 2026, with no CAGE code, UEI, or federal contract clauses required, reinforcing the municipal nature of the procurement.
