It includes three one‑year renewal options, a change‑order limit of 25 % or $50 k without board approval, and standard compliance clauses (anti‑discrimination, drug‑free workplace, de‑barment, etc.). The contract was sourced through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program (RFP #112624) and is open to competition from multiple vendors, though Deere & Company is the awarded supplier for this county’s share. • Scope covers lawn‑care, turf, irrigation, beach/waterfront maintenance equipment, parts, attachments, and related services (excluding highway‑maintenance, sewer‑maintenance, and dedicated snow‑removal gear). • Payment terms: 45‑day net invoicing; subcontractor payment within 7 days of owner receipt. • Governance: Virginia law; disputes resolved in Fauquier County courts; contract can be extended to other public entities via Sourcewell.
