Outbound Mowing

The Collin County Community College District issued solicitation FY2025-ITB-006 for annual brush-hog mowing services across six campuses, including Celina, Farmersville, Frisco, McKinney, Plano, and Wylie. The scope of work covers approximately 156.5 non-irrigated acres, with the contract term running from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2028. Bids were due by December 19, 2024, and are evaluated based on a best-value trade-off approach. Key evaluation factors include purchase price, vendor reputation, quality of services, the extent to which needs are met, past relationship with the District, and the vendor's presence or employment footprint within the state of Texas. The contract requires strict adherence to District policies, including physical security protocols and cybersecurity training certified under Texas Government Code. Vendors must comply with Texas franchise tax obligations and provide felony conviction notifications as required by the Texas Education Code. Performance is based on a firm lump-sum, all-inclusive cost model with delivery and acceptance occurring at the destination building sites. The District maintains the right to audit vendor records for three years post-completion and reserves the right to adjust service quantities. Award decisions are not restricted to price alone, allowing the District to weigh long-term costs and compliance with historically underutilized business laws.
