EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This bid was prepared at the request of the Sites and Utilities Department to establish fixed pricing for tree service. In an attempt to provide additional bidding opportunities for vendors and coverage for the district, award of this contract shall be to the three lowest bidders who will service each of our maintenance areas (Maintenance East, Maintenance West and Maintenance Central). They have been assigned to an area as follows: Blades of Green, Maintenance East; Ameri-Pride, Inc., Maintenance West; and Core Services, LLC, Maintenance Central. This bid was structured to obtain pricing based on specific estimated quantities, which allowed us to make a clear, accurate comparison of the bids received and may not be the actual quantity of work to be performed by each vendor or represent the total annual district estimated quantities. This price comparison allowed us to identify the three lowest responsive, responsible bidders. This recommendation has been reviewed by the Manager of Sites and Utilities. A more detailed review of specifications can be obtained by contacting the Procurement Department.
This contract may be renewed for four additional one-year periods provided all terms and conditions remain unchanged and in full force and effect. This option to renew requires the mutual agreement of both parties. Refusal by either party to exercise this option to renew will require this contract to expire on the original or mutually agreed date. The Superintendent is authorized to approve the renewal agreement, per the terms of the specifications.
