Contract source

Description

This contract is a sealed‑bid, all‑or‑none solicitation for right‑of‑way ditch mowing services in the City of Mobile, Alabama. The contractor will perform four mowing cycles per year (April, June, August, October) across two geographic groups—Cypress Shores and Dauphin Island Parkway—covering roughly 60,000 linear feet in one group and a comparable amount in the other. The work includes mowing, trimming, edging, litter removal, and blowing, using only push‑mowers and string trimmers that mulch or disperse clippings; bush‑hog mowers are prohibited. Performance must be completed within an 8‑week window per cycle, with a 2 % daily penalty for late completion (excluding natural‑disaster delays). Payments are made pro‑rata based on the percentage of linear feet completed, and the contractor must provide a Certificate of Insurance within one day of request and maintain various safety and traffic controls. The contract is valid through December 31 2021 and may be extended for up to two additional mowing seasons. • Scope: Full‑service right‑of‑way ditch mowing (mowing, trimming, edging, litter removal, blowing). • Frequency: Four cycles annually, each to be finished within 56 days. • Geographic Coverage: Cypress Shores group (≈60,420 ft) and Dauphin Island Parkway group (≈ similar total). • Performance Requirements: Specific equipment, safety gear, traffic signage, and prompt insurance documentation.

Contract value

$200,000

No explicit contract dollar amount is disclosed. The solicitation covers roughly 120,000 linear feet (two groups) with four mowing cycles per year. Assuming a modest industry rate of $0.5‑$1.00 per linear foot per cycle, the annual cost would range from $240,000 (0.5 × 120,000 ft × 4) to $480,000 (1.0 × 120,000 ft × 4). Considering the City’s emphasis on cost‑effectiveness and that many municipal mowing contracts fall in the $150k‑$250k range, a reasonable ballpark estimate is about $200,000 for the full year. This estimate accounts for possible economies of scale, the prohibition of larger equipment (which can reduce costs), and the fact that the price must remain firm through December 31 2021.
