This project is for Professional Landscape Plant Bed Maintenance and Mowing for various sites along the NC 540 and NC 885 Toll Facilities in Durham and Wake Counties. Landscaped plant bed sites serve as an aesthetic focal point along North Carolina’s highway transportation network. They provide color, texture, space definition, and other benefits enjoyed by the traveling public. In North Carolina, climatic conditions favor growing a wide variety of ornamental landscape plants and a rich palette of native plants. Careful management of these living assets is required to continue the heritage and maintain the value of this significant plant collection. Landscape plant bed sites have been designed, constructed, and should be maintained in a manner that is aesthetically pleasing, that follows generally accepted environmental stewardship practices, protects the investment and enhances the ecosystem function. Plant bed sites shall be maintained to a consistent standard for maximum efficiency of resources. The N.C. Department of Transportation (hereinafter referred to as “Department”) is seeking the services of a Landscape Contractor or Grounds Maintenance Company to provide Professional Landscape Plant Bed and Mowing Maintenance consisting of but not limited to labor, supervision, equipment and supplies as specified herein.
