Massachusetts Technology Collaborative is seeking seasonal, ecologically sensitive land care for its 36-acre Westborough campus.
- **Government buyer:** Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MassTech), an independent public instrumentality of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; the bid form also identifies Massachusetts Technology Park Corporation. No specific sub-agency or office is listed.
- **OEMs and vendors:** No product manufacturers, OEMs, or service vendors are named. NOFA organic land-care standards are referenced.
- **Requested services:** Seasonal landscape maintenance, including spring and fall cleanup, pruning, soil testing and approved amendments, mulching, deadwood removal, ongoing litter removal, bed edging and weeding, pest monitoring and proposed integrated pest management (IPM) treatments, turf mowing, and tree care. Core aeration and additional arborist work may be requested with approval.
- **Quantities and pricing:** 35 cubic yards of mulch are requested, subject to approval. Planned mowing is 18 mowings per season in Zone 1 and 8 in Zone 2. Deadwood-removal pricing must include 8 labor hours and a bucket truck. The bid form requests unit pricing for mulch, corn gluten meal, limestone, K-Mag, and bone meal, plus hourly rates for an arborist, field laborer, tree-work laborer, other personnel, and bucket-truck use.
- **Notable requirements:** Follow applicable NOFA organic land-care standards and use IPM; provide all materials and equipment; use low-emission mowing equipment. New mulch in the first season requires removal of existing mulch beforehand. Soil amendments depend on soil-test results and MassTech approval.
- **Performance and pricing structure:** Proposals include pricing for three landscaping seasons. Continuation into later seasons depends on MassTech's satisfaction with prior performance.
