AI overview
The Sacramento County Water Agency (SCWA) is soliciting proposals from qualified contractors to provide comprehensive landscape, irrigation, vegetation management, and facility-adjacent maintenance services across a diverse portfolio of Water Agency operational sites. These locations include groundwater wells, booster stations, water treatment plants, surface water facilities, storage tanks, access easements, and undeveloped parcels distributed throughout Sacramento County. The scope encompasses turf and native plant maintenance, pruning, weed and invasive species abatement, erosion control, fertilization, litter and debris removal, irrigation system management, and upkeep of grounds surrounding well houses, tank sites, pump stations, treatment facilities, and access ways.
Work performed under these contracts will include scheduled monthly maintenance tasks as well as responsive unscheduled work. Maintenance needs vary by site type, seasonal requirements, and operational priorities, and may involve drought-tolerant landscape management, vegetation clearance around critical infrastructure, pest and disease mitigation, stormwater-related site management, and maintenance of driveways, walkways, and secure perimeter areas. All work must comply with Water Agency operational standards, environmental stewardship practices, and established safety protocols. Contracts will be awarded to the top two scoring contractors, who must demonstrate expertise, operational agility, and staffing capacity to service a broad array of water utility locations.
Key dates include a pre-proposal conference on September 22, 2026 at 3:00 PM Pacific, a Q&A deadline on September 25, 2026 at 9:00 PM Pacific, and a final proposal deadline of October 7, 2026 at 9:00 PM Pacific. The anticipated contract term begins January 1, 2027 and runs through December 31, 2027, with options to renew annually for up to four additional one-year terms through December 31, 2031, pending approval by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors. Multiple attachments provide detailed site lists, task frequency sheets, and landscape standards for two defined service areas.
Proposers must submit complete responses through the County's procurement portal and comply with all terms and conditions including prevailing wage requirements, insurance requirements, and environmental purchasing policies. The solicitation documents contain definitions, proposer instructions, basis for award criteria, evaluation phases, pricing tables, and standard County contract terms. This RFP presents an opportunity for experienced landscape contractors to support critical water infrastructure reliability and safety throughout Sacramento County.
