RECOMMENDATION:
Informational report for discussion
BACKGROUND:
Utah’s Public Transit District Act requires all contracts valued at $250,000 or greater be approved by the UTA Board of Trustees. This informational report on upcoming procurements allows Trustees to be informed and provide input on upcoming procurement projects. Following the bid solicitation and contract negotiation process, final contracts for these projects will come before the board for approval.
DISCUSSION:
• Lawncare and Landscape Maintenance Services
The Facilities Department is seeking one or multiple qualified contractors to provide comprehensive lawn care and landscape maintenance services at 41 UTA properties within the service area. The selected contractor will be responsible for furnishing all labor, materials, supplies, equipment, and transportation necessary to perform these services at the designated locations. The scope of work includes, but is not limited to: routine lawn mowing and grounds maintenance, spring cleanup, fertilization, lawn aeration, weed control, and shrub trimming.
This procurement will be conducted as a Request for Proposal (RFP), with proposals evaluated and scored based on established technical criteria in addition to price. The anticipated contract term is five (5) years, beginning April 2026 and ending April 2031. Funding for this project is included in the approved 2026 Operating Expense budget.
