Request for Bid: Lawn Service

Posted on November 15, 2011 by Kevin Curry

lawnWe need a lawn service to cut the Triangle and trim our other properties, Witt Park and the Lynnhaven River access on Watergate lane. Edging and occasional removal of light debris is also needed. To address these needs we are publishing this informal request for bids from local companies. All bidders are welcome, but preference is for a company with ties to King’s Grant. We request a yearly maintenance plan and cost. Lowest cost is a significant factor. Bidders must provide proof of insurance.

Basic requirements are:

  • One (1) mowing every ten (10) days from April through October
  • Mowing as needed from November through March
  • Edging on curbs
  • Debris removal as needed

To respond, send a proposal to board@kgcl.org. Bidders may be invited to give a presentation at a Board of Directors meeting. KGCL will consider advertisement in exchange for discounted rates. Advertisement may include one or more of: placement in our newsletter, on our Web site, or a small, street visible sign reading “Lawn Care Provided By: [YOUR COMPANY]” at one or more locations.

Members are encouraged to share this post with any lawn service providers they know.
