The procurement is conducted electronically via PlanetBids, with a pre‑bid virtual conference and a firm deadline for electronic submission. • Perform annual grass, brush, and tree trimming to specified clearances (≤ 3 inches from structures, ≥ 10 ft from roadways, etc.). • Provide waste‑recycling services, traffic‑control, and on‑site safety equipment, and submit detailed weekly and monthly reports. • Fixed unit‑price rates for the first three years; optional CPI‑based adjustments for years 4‑5; up to a 5 % local‑business preference credit if qualified.
