Explanation
General Services’ Landscape Management division provides tree planting and stump grinding in the right-of-way and provides landscape services at city-owned properties and in city-maintained medians.
These contracts will provide all required labor, equipment, planting materials, and incidental supplies needed to supplement Landscape Management staff’s work across the city.
Services may include, but are not limited to, the installation of trees, shrubs, perennials, turf grass, mulch, and groundcover, as well as demolition, site preparation, and stump grinding.
On June 18, 2026, the city issued a Request for Proposals (RFP); nine responses were received.
The companies selected best meet the city’s needs in terms of qualifications, experience, cost, and responsiveness to RFP requirements.
At renewal, potential price adjustments may be considered based on legitimate and justified increases in the cost of doing business. The ability to consider price adjustments also allows the city to accept decreases, if warranted.
Annual aggregate expenditures are estimated to be $4,165,000.
