The Water, Transportation & Public Works, and Park & Recreation Departments approached the Purchasing Division for assistance with securing an agreement for grass seed, sod, and installation services on an as -needed basis. Under the proposed agreements, the vendors will provide grass seed and sod, and installation services on residential and commercial properties throughout the City of Fort Worth. Purchasing issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) that consisted of detailed specifications including the certification and licensing requirements of prospective vendors, the equipment required to perform services, and the response time needed to ensure services are performed in a timely manner. The ITB was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on February 22, 2023, March 1, 2023, March 8, 2023, and March 15, 2023. The City received three responses. Justin Seed Co. was deemed non- responsive due to not bidding on all required line items. An evaluation panel consisting of representatives from the Water, Transportation & Public Works, and Park & Recreation Departments reviewed and scored the submittal using Best Value criteria. The individual scores were averaged for each of the criteria and the final scores are listed in the table below. Bidder a C.

Therefore, the panel recommends that Council authorize agreements with C. Green Scaping, LP and North Texas Hydromulch & Landscaping Services, LLC. No guarantee was made that a specific amount of services would be purchased. Staff certifies that the recommended vendors' bids met specifications. Due to inflation and supply chain concerns, staff recommends the total compensation for each annual renewal term be increased by 5\% to ensure the City is able to meet demand. The total compensation for the initial term of the contracts shall not exceed $341,199.50, $358,259.00 for the first renewal, $376,172.00 for the second renewal, $394,981.00 for the third renewal, and $414,730.00 for the fourth renewal.
