RFP 2026-008 Right of Way Maintenance Services

The City of Tucker, Georgia, is soliciting proposals under RFP 2026-008 for comprehensive right of way and public open space maintenance services to be performed under the Public Works Department's direction. This contract, effective from July 1, 2026, for a one-year term with three optional annual renewals, encompasses mowing, trimming, pruning, fallen tree and debris removal, graffiti abatement, after-hours carcass removal, and street sweeping services at specified frequencies throughout city-maintained areas. Contractors must maintain dedicated crews, supply all necessary equipment—including vehicles with real-time automatic vehicle location (AVL) systems—and ensure rapid emergency response within two hours. The scope also includes maintenance of winter storm equipment, restoration of any damaged public or private property at the contractor's expense, and consistent reporting via the Cityworks software platform. The services are to be provided throughout the City of Tucker and are expected to comply with all local, state, and applicable federal regulations, including mandatory enrollment and verification through the E-Verify program. Submissions require detailed management plans, qualifications of key personnel with appropriate licensing, and clear demonstration of experience, evaluated primarily on technical approach (35%), company and staff qualifications (35%), and cost proposal (30%). Contract compliance demands notarized affidavits for non-collusion and E-Verify compliance, a $3 million commercial general liability insurance policy naming the City as an additional insured, and adherence to specific equipment and operational standards. The procurement process includes electronic submission of two separate PDF files—technical and cost proposals—by the April 2, 2026 deadline. Evaluation will involve a trade-off analysis considering both price and quality, ensuring selection of the most advantageous proposal for the City, with ongoing oversight by the Public Works Director.
