Background Discussion:
The previous Quadrant H landscape contract expired on April 30, 2024, and has been on a month-to-month basis with a temporary contract, awaiting the award of a new formal landscape maintenance contract. Quadrant H is in the southern portion of the City, between S. County Center Dr. to the west, Walnut Ave. to the north, Santa Fe St. to the east, and W. Visalia Parkway to the south.
On October 04, 2024, and October 09, 2024, the City solicited bids by advertising in the Visalia Times Delta with the RFB posted on Bid-Net. The City also mailed RFB notices, inviting contractors to participate in this bid process.
