MKT Corridor Mowing

The City of Waco is soliciting bids for routine landscape maintenance services along the MKT Corridor Area under solicitation number RFB 2026-030, with a response deadline of August 10, 2026. The scope of work includes trash pickup, mowing, edging, weed eating, and blowing of grass, to be performed Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., with exact work areas defined in attached maps and appendices. The contract is for one year, running from October 1 to September 30, with three optional one-year renewal periods at the City’s discretion. No TxDOT qualifications are required, and the contract is governed by municipal terms rather than federal acquisition regulations, though compliance with federal employment laws including the Service Contract Act is mandated. Bidders must submit a comprehensive package including required certifications such as debarment, non-collusion, drug-free workplace, HUB status, litigation disclosure, and business identification, along with additional documents like W-9, EFT authorization, and Texas state compliance forms related to energy, firearms, and foreign terrorist organizations. Proposals must be submitted through the City’s Bonfire portal or as sealed hard copies with an electronic backup on CD or flash drive, and fax or email submissions are prohibited. The award will be based on a best value determination weighing factors including purchase price, service quality, reputation, alignment with municipal needs, past performance with the City, impact on underutilized business compliance, and total long-term cost, rather than on low-price technically acceptable criteria. The contractor must obtain prior written approval for any subcontracting and is prohibited from assigning rights or obligations under the contract. The City retains full authority for inspection and acceptance, with performance expectations tied to compliance with municipal requirements and quality benchmarks outlined in appendices. Payment will be processed via electronic funds transfer, and all contractual obligations are subject to jurisdiction in McLennan County, Texas.
