2026-2028 Mowing, Landscaping, and Maintenance Program

The 2026-2028 Mowing, Landscaping, and Maintenance Program (the “Project”) consists of twelve (12) different bid packages for Citywide mowing, landscaping, and maintenance services, which includes labor, equipment, and materials. Bidders are not required to bid on each package. Each package is a separate bid and each package will be awarded to the lowest and best bidder on that package for the entire three year term, taking into consideration such factors as qualifications, past performance and efficiency of the bidder along with the price of the bid. Failure to fully and accurately complete the Bidding Forms shall be considered grounds for rejecting the bid. Bids may be withdrawn at any time before the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids, but may not be modified and resubmitted. Questions about this Project should be directed to Danielle Garwood, Public Service Administrator, at dgarwood@hilliardohio.gov Bid security in the amount of 10% of the total for each package bid on must be furnished. If a bid is accepted, a contract must be executed, and a satisfactory contract bond or security furnished, conditioned according to law, in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the contract price, within ten (10) days after Notice of Award. Sureties on all bonds must be satisfactory to the City. Section 129.03 of the City’s Codified Ordinances establishes a local preference program for the purchase of materials, supplies, equipment and services. The full ordinance can be found on the City’s website: www.hilliardohio.gov. This Contract may be extended for two one-year periods by an instrument in writing executed by all the parties, and subject to approval by Hilliard City Council, if required. Each extension of the Contract will be based on a review of the Contractor's performance and adherence to the requirements and provisions of the Documents listed in §1 above. The Contract Price for each extension will be negotiated prior to execution of the extension and at no time shall it exceed an increase of 3% on the previous year's contract price, and subject to the appropriation of sufficient funds. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids. Informalities in making out the bid may be waived at the option of the City.
