Description

Essex County’s Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive topiary services for the Turtle Back Zoo. The work includes the design, fabrication, delivery, and installation of four new topiary sculptures, followed by ongoing maintenance of all topiaries on a 24‑month performance period, with an optional equal‑length extension. The contract will be awarded after the March 4, 2026 deadline and will run for two years, requiring horticultural expertise, reliable delivery logistics, and routine upkeep to maintain aesthetic standards for a public zoo environment. • Supply, deliver, and install four custom‑designed topiary sculptures at the Turtle Back Zoo. • Perform regular pruning, shaping, pest control, and health monitoring for all topiaries for a minimum of 24 months. • Optional 24‑month extension contingent on mutual agreement with the Essex County Board of County Commissioners.

Budget estimate

$150,000 – $300,000

The contract likely falls in the low‑to‑mid six‑figure range. Installing four custom topiaries (design, fabrication, delivery, and installation) could run $80‑$120 K, while a 24‑month maintenance program (regular pruning, pest management, health monitoring) for a zoo’s extensive topiary collection might add $70‑$150 K. Factoring administrative overhead and a potential extension, the total award could reasonably be estimated between $150,000 and $300,000.
