Summary of Specifications:
The Lake Orion Downtown Development Authority is seeking quotes from a company to design, grow, and maintain sixty (60) hanging baskets until time of delivery. Hanging baskets have a 15-16 inch diameter. Vendors will pre-grow baskets prior to installation in order to allow for fuller plantings at the time of delivery. All baskets will be located in areas that are deemed “full sun”. Bright colored “trailing” petunias should be included in the design of the basket. Please note colors that are available in your quote. Baskets must be mature by Monday, May 16, 2016 and delivered to the Village of Lake Orion no later than Thursday, May 19, 2016. Coordination of specific date and time can be made with Lake Orion DDA Director Suzanne Perreault by calling 248-693-9742. Costs shall include price for entire job and will take into account need for plant material, planting labor, soil and fertilizer cost, usage of soil moist-polymer retaining crystals, and care and storage while baskets mature. A cocoa mat liner is needed in 10 of the baskets and should also be included in the quote. The physical basket is actually owned by the DDA and plantings must be grown in our basket. Baskets must be picked up by vendor prior to February 26, 2016 at the Lake Orion Department of Public Works, 362 Cass Street, Lake Orion, MI.
