Lawn Services

This solicitation, issued by Central Louisiana Technical Community College (CLTCC) under solicitation number 40021-ALEX270001, seeks bids for comprehensive lawn services to be performed primarily on CLTCC campuses throughout Louisiana. The services required include mowing, edging, weeding, fertilizing, pruning, pest and disease control, pesticide application, mulching, debris removal, irrigation system repairs, and other grounds maintenance tasks both on a scheduled and as-needed basis. The contract duration may extend up to 36 months, with performance standards emphasizing professional conduct, safety compliance, proper certification for pesticide application and landscaping, and timely completion of all specified duties. Key personnel must be adequately trained, drug and alcohol tested, and identifiable via uniforms, with strict rules governing security, conduct, and campus access. The College retains oversight and the right to remove non-compliant personnel or terminate the contract with a 30-day notice. The award will be based on the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, focusing principally on price while requiring bidders to demonstrate technical capability and adherence to all submission requirements. Bidders must comply with Louisiana-specific socioeconomic programs, including identifying their status as certified small businesses or veteran-owned entities and making good faith efforts to subcontract with certified vendors if not certified themselves. The solicitation mandates strict bidding procedures, including physical bid submissions with wet-ink signatures, no electronic filings, and a firm deadline. Although no pricing or contract type is detailed within the documentation, invoicing will be monthly with Net 30 payment terms. Compliance with all federal, state, and local laws—including nondiscrimination, worker’s compensation, insurance requirements, OSHA safety standards, and College-specific policies—is mandatory. While numerous contract clauses are referenced, they are institution-specific without standard FAR identifiers, and no formal attachments or evaluation weightings are provided. The contract emphasizes environmental and operational responsibility, with clear provisions for termination, indemnification, security protocols, and maintenance of a clean campus environment.
