Town Wide Landscaping

The Town of Nantucket, governed by a Town Manager/Select Board structure and situated off the southern coast of Cape Cod, is seeking proposals for a town-wide landscaping solicitation through its Department of Public Works. Nantucket is a year-round community of approximately 18,000 residents that expands to 65,000 seasonally, featuring diverse land uses including residential, commercial, undeveloped areas, and significant municipal operations such as skilled nursing, public schools, wastewater treatment, housing, and solid waste management. The town's infrastructure includes a busy airport, seaport, and a variety of road systems, all of which require ongoing maintenance and beautification efforts. This solicitation, posted in March 2026 with a response deadline in early April 2026, is aimed at supporting the upkeep and enhancement of public spaces across the island. Complementary contracts within the Town suggest a comprehensive approach to facility upkeep and community services, including the removal and replacement of overhead garage doors at the Department of Public Works facility, a detailed human services needs assessment project to better allocate resources and support grant applications, and the planning and execution of annual Fourth of July fireworks displays at Jetties Beach. These contracts collectively underscore Nantucket’s commitment to maintaining functional infrastructure, engaging and supporting its community, and providing safe, well-managed public events, all governed by strict adherence to quality, safety, and regulatory requirements. The landscaping contract fits within this broader municipal framework by aiming to enhance the town’s aesthetic and environmental appeal, contributing to the overall quality of life on the island.
