I. SCOPE
The grounds maintenance services at Department of Water Resources (DWR) facilities throughout Gwinnett County may
include some or all the following services that are described in detail below:
A. Lawn Maintenance, to include chemical applications
B. Mulch and Pine Straw Installation
C. Weed Control in Mulched Beds
D. Management of Ornamental Shrubs and Trees
E. Seasonal Color Installation and Maintenance
F. Mowing, Trimming, Edging, and Seeding of Lawns
G. Removal of Trash and Debris
DWR determined that it would benefit most from these specific services in supplementing its in-house grounds
maintenance function. Thus, DWR is not requesting "comprehensive services" inclusive of all the grounds listed or all the
tasks and activities required in such maintenance. Instead, DWR has outlined tasks where it believes the experience and
technical abilities of the bidding service providers will be of most benefit.
Gwinnett County reserves the right to make an award as deemed in its best interest, which may include awarding a bid to
a single service provider or multiple service providers; or to award the whole bid, only part of the bid, or none of the bid to
single or multiple service providers, based on its sole discretion of its best interest.
Gwinnett County anticipates award may be made by section. Interested service providers do not have to bid on every
section, but pricing must be submitted for every line item in the section(s) for which they do submit on the bid. Award
will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible service provider(s). DWR may make such investigations as it
deems necessary to determine the ability of the service provider to perform and the service provider should furnish all
such information and data for this purpose as may be requested. DWR reserves the right to reject any bid if the evidence
submitted by, or investigation of such service provider fails to satisfy DWR that such service provider is properly qualified
to carry out the obligations of the contract.

other string trimmer at a minimum of once per month January 1 through December 31st.

have been completed.
Q. The County requires the successful service provider to provide current certificate of insurance, per

each service to ensure the service provider was on site and that services were received. These photos
should need to be provided within 24 hours of date shown within photo to allow adequate time for DWR
