B23-015 - Partial Weed/Grass Abatement Within The City of Flint’s Right-of-Way

The City of Flint is seeking proposals from qualified landscape contractors to perform grass abatement
services as designated by City of Flint staff. The services will be primarily for cutting tall grass and weeds
in excess of eight (8) inches within the public right-of-way and may also include removal of
miscellaneous debris. It is the City's desire to select one Contractor to provide abatement services
for areas 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 (see attached). No minimum quantities of abatement services are guaranteed.

During the course of the spring/summer/fall months (June-October), the Contractor will be responsible
for weed/grass abatement in the City of Flint's right-of-way. The City of Flint is divided into six
designated areas and there is one Contractor selected per area. T h e Contractor will be responsible
for weed/grass abatement approximately two (2) times per season. Weather and growing conditions
shall determine the frequency of the work. The primary focus will be on the right-of-way at
intersections, around stop/yield signs, bus stops, bus shelters, and the parkway in front of vacant
properties/lots. In the event that weed/grass abatement is required on a major street, then a temporary
traffic control plan must be provided to the City of Flint Department of Public Works, Traffic Engineering
Division, at least three (3) working days prior to conducting the abatement. Contractors shall also be
required to cut a mow strip along the opposite edge of the sidewalk areas adjacent to the right-ofway
to allow pedestrians to travel without interference from tall grass and weeds and to allow clear
vision sight distance at intersections.
