UPDATED REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
AS-NEEDED MOWING & SNOW REMOVAL
The Millcreek Township Planning and Development Department is seeking proposals for as-needed
mowing, and snow and ice removal services to assist the Code Enforcement Office with remediating
Property Maintenance Code violations. Such services, as further detailed below, would be requested
when property owners have refused to respond to Notices of Violation and when the Township
believes it is in the best interest of Township residents that the issue be remediated.
MOWING SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Contractor shall perform mowing and trimming services on properties identified by the Township
as being in violation of nuisance vegetation ordinances. These services are intended to abate
overgrown grass, weeds, and vegetation that pose a public nuisance or safety concern. This is not a
landscaping or lawn-care service; the primary objective is rapid remediation to bring the property
into basic compliance with Township code.
Upon notification that service is required the contractor will:
1. Acknowledge receipt of request and provide anticipated completion date
2. Coordinate visit with Code Enforcement office so a Code Officer can be present for services.
3. Provide before and after digital pictures of property
4. Perform necessary services as follows:
a. Mow all turf areas where grass and weeds exceed the maximum height permitted by
ordinance.
b. Trim around structures, fences, trees, sidewalks, and other obstacles to ensure no
overgrown vegetation remains.
c. Remove or flatten large weeds and brush within the mowed area to the extent
necessary to eliminate the nuisance.
d. No collection or disposal of grass clippings is required unless clippings obstruct
sidewalks or streets.
The Contractor is not required to achieve a uniform appearance or manicured
finish—only to reduce vegetation to a height that eliminates the public nuisance.
5. Perform other duties as indicated
6. Advise Township of completion of project, and/or aberrancies
SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Contractor shall perform snow and ice removal services along the frontage of properties
identified by the Township as being in violation of the sidewalk maintenance provisions of Township
Code.
