Shakespeare Gardens Phase 1

The City of Cedar Rapids is seeking sealed bids for the Shakespeare Gardens Phase 1 project, with submissions due electronically through the city's designated online procurement portal by 11:00 AM on May 29, 2024. The project involves landscaping or garden development, and the city emphasizes the importance of correct electronic submission, as no other methods such as email or hard copies will be accepted. Bidders are responsible for ensuring their responses are properly uploaded, with bid opening scheduled immediately after the deadline. The city will evaluate the bids promptly and communicate the results via a bid tabulation sent to all participants, although bid results will not be disclosed before the award. Bids can be withdrawn at any time prior to the closing, but once submitted, they cannot be modified or withdrawn for sixty days. The contract value is estimated to range between $500,000 and $1,500,000, and the project is managed by the Iowa office of the City of Cedar Rapids. The primary contact for inquiries is Ann Baker, reachable via email and phone. This solicitation is part of the city's broader procurement efforts, which include various other projects such as recycling services, construction bids, and equipment procurement, each with their own specific deadlines and requirements. The process underscores the city's commitment to transparent, competitive bidding and adherence to procurement policies, ensuring that vendors submit compliant proposals through the designated online system for consideration.
