Parks and Recreation Maintenance Mowing Group 1

The City of Tucson is seeking proposals for a term contract to provide mowing services specifically for Group 1 sites, including the Abraham Lincoln Park Softball Fields, the Abraham Lincoln Park COPA Event Space, and select Reid Park Annex Fields. The selected contractor must provide all labor, licenses, permits, materials, and equipment necessary to perform string trimming and edging in accordance with federal, state, local, ANSI, and OSHA regulations. Key operational requirements include the submission of a quality control program within ten days of the award and weekly performance requirement summary reports. While the contractor is responsible for weed control methods, any herbicides used are considered management tools and will not be reimbursed by the City; additionally, all chemicals require prior City approval and a corresponding Safety Data Sheet. The solicitation process, identified by number 270180, requires applicants to submit a response to evaluation criteria, a pricing proposal, a signed offer and acceptance form, and a business license via the OpenGov portal by November 12, 2026. Evaluation may include interviews and investigations into the offeror's financial stability and competence. Payments are processed monthly, with the City aiming to complete payments within 21 calendar days of receiving a correct invoice. The contract includes strict compliance mandates regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act, cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST and ISO/IEC 27001, and Buy America requirements. Primary points of contact for this effort are Superintendent John Bonillas and Principal Contract Officer Sandra Alcorn.
