Turf Treatment Services for IU: Indianapolis, Bloomington, and Satellite Sites

Indiana University seeks a qualified contractor to deliver a comprehensive turf‑treatment program for its main campuses and satellite sites, focusing on Tall Fescue grass. The work includes multiple seasonal chemical applications, optional pest‑control services, strict environmental safeguards, and rapid response timelines. The contract is a three‑year base term with an optional two‑year renewal, requiring the vendor to mobilize within three working days for campus‑wide treatments, provide advance notice, and maintain detailed documentation. • Mandatory treatment rounds in early spring, late spring/early summer, and early fall; an optional mid‑summer “flex” round triggered by weather or weed thresholds. • Service coverage spans roughly 420 acres across Bloomington, Indianapolis, and a Columbus site, plus additional satellite locations. • Requirements include low‑odor, low‑toxicity chemicals, 25‑foot buffer zones around waterways, post‑application cleanup, and submission of SDS and annual logs. • Vendor must hold applicable Indiana pesticide applicator licenses and be able to work evenings/weekends to minimize campus disruption.
