Landscape Maintenance - Town Grounds

The Town of Morrisville, North Carolina, is soliciting proposals for a landscape maintenance contract to provide all labor, equipment, materials, and supervision for mowing, trimming, blowing, edging, and spraying of turf and landscaped areas on Town grounds. The scope includes maintaining specific grass heights for cool-season and warm-season grasses, treating fire ant mounds, and ensuring planting beds maintain a uniform mulch depth. Work is performed Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm EST, with the Town reserving the right to adjust sites based on funding or operational needs. The performance period begins with a partial year from January 4, 2027, to June 30, 2027, followed by full fiscal year extensions. Services are divided into Class 1 weekly and Class 2 bi-weekly schedules, with visit frequencies varying by season. Award selection is based on the most qualified firm, provided they have no conflicts of interest, are not in debt to the Town, and possess an adequate accounting system. Quality is monitored via a pass/fail system, where verified site failures result in deductions from monthly invoices. Bidders must submit cost proposals using the provided bid form and include a signed Non-Collusion Affidavit by November 20, 2026. The successful contractor must provide proof of insurance naming the Town as an additional insured and adhere to NCDOT and MUTCD safety policies, including the use of approved traffic safety vests and proper personal protective equipment when working near roadways.
