Turf to Granite conversion project

The City of Mesa issued an RFP to replace turf with decorative granite at dozens of park and retention‑basin sites across the municipality. The work is a turn‑key, “firm‑fixed‑price” style contract that requires site preparation, removal of existing curb, installation of new concrete curbing, placement of 2‑inch‑deep pink‑coral granite, and modification of irrigation systems, all completed under a one‑year warranty. The selected contractor, Mariposa Landscape Arizona, Inc., will be paid via unit‑price invoicing linked to a Letter of Acceptance for each completed portion of work, and the contract runs until January 1 2026 with optional renewals. • Scope includes site walk‑throughs, herbicide treatments, grading, new curbing, granite placement, sprinkler modifications, and post‑installation inspections. • Pricing is submitted on a unit‑price schedule (granite thickness options, linear‑ft curbing, sq‑ft granite, per‑head irrigation, etc.). • The contract carries non‑performance fees, requires strict safety and background‑check compliance, and allows a 2 % TPT discount for vendors with a Mesa tax license (excluding construction/federal‑funded purchases).
