PROPERTY MAINTENANCE SERVICES
INTRODUCTION
A. General Information
The City of Maryland Heights Department of Community Development identifies residential and
commercial properties with maintenance issues that violate the Property Maintenance Code. Once the
property owner, occupant and/or agent are notified, the violations in most cases are rectified. In the
case of tall grass, when violations are not rectified, the City mows the property. In rare instances,
property maintenance violations go beyond what the City can handle. Such violations include
excessive vegetation and brush, dead limbs, and dead trees.
The successful respondent will be called on an "as needed" basis to act on behalf of the City in
performing the work outlined in the Scope of Work, primarily during the summer and fall seasons, but
possibly at other times of the year.
The successful bidder will be awarded a three (3) year contract in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit 1. All prices will remain as bid during the term of the contract.
The successful bidder will be required to execute the contract in substantially the form of Exhibit 1,
including all attachments certifying work authorization and lawful presence requirements.
Please contact Michael Zeek, Director of Community Development at mzeek@marylandheights.com
or 314-738-2232 for more information if needed.
B. Scope of Work
Activities may include, but not be limited to:
• Cutting vegetation in excess of twelve (12) inches in height
• Removal and proper disposal of brush, accumulated leaves, and dead limbs
• Removal and proper disposal of dead trees
Once a request has been made, work must commence for that request within 72 hours. All work shall
be documented by the firm by taking and providing before and after photos.
All disposals must be in conformance with State and County requirements as well as the Solid
Waste requirements as stated in Chapter 22 of the Maryland Heights Municipal Code.
While the majority of the work for the services will not require payment of prevailing wage, if applicable
to any work undertaken, the successful bidder shall be responsible for complying with applicable State
provisions concerning the payment of prevailing wages as determined by the Department of Labor and
Industrial Relations of the State of Missouri on public works projects for such applicable work.
If applicable to any work undertaken as part of the services, the successful bidder shall require all on-site
employees to complete a ten-hour Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) construction
safety program provided by the contractor which includes a course in construction safety and health
approved by OSHA or a similar program approved by MoDOLIR which is at least as stringent as an
approved OSHA program, as required under Subsection 292.675.2 RSMo. All employees are required
to complete the program within sixty days of beginning the applicable work under the City contract.
