Description
The City of Johnson City is rebidding its seasonal mowing, string‑trimming and litter‑collection contract for municipal streets, lots and facilities in Zones 3 and 4 (≈ 56 acres total). The contract runs one year from early April 2026 through late October 2026, with optional two‑year renewals, and pricing is submitted on a per‑cycle basis (weekly cycles April‑July, then 10‑day cycles August‑November). Vendors must meet insurance, safety, and electronic work‑reporting requirements and acknowledge any addenda.
• Scope: Regular mowing, string‑trimming, litter pickup, mulching, hand‑cut work on steep areas, and required safety signage.
• Frequency: Weekly cycles Apr 1–Jul 31; 10‑day cycles Aug 1–≈ Nov 15.
• Pricing: Submit cost per complete mowing cycle for each zone (and per‑acre price). Fuel surcharge possible.
• Requirements: Comprehensive insurance (CGL $1 M, auto $500 k, workers’ comp, etc.), electronic submission within 48 hrs of each cycle, and compliance with safety & environmental standards.
• Competition: Only three firms submitted bids; many invited vendors did not respond, indicating a potentially open market for qualified lawn‑care providers.
