Overview

Summary

This solicitation intends to establish a pool of contracts for services related to a broad range of ecosystem management practices seeking to restore and maintain healthy forested and non-forested ecosystems at multiple sites on City of Seattle-owned, City-managed, and publicly owned properties. The nature and extent of specific management practices required, and site accessibility will vary from site to site. Given the broad geographic range of work locations and work categories, contractors may bid on work sites and work categories for which they would like to be considered, and the City of Seattle may issue multiple blanket contracts through this solicitation. Various departments of the City may choose contractors that have a blanket contract with the City. Qualifications will be evaluated by work category.

Background

The purchases from the pool of contracts will be made using funds from two federal grants. One grant supports creation of the Delridge Native Forest Garden and the second supports continued restoration of forested parks in the Beacon Hill neighborhood managed by Seattle Parks and Recreation as part of the Green Seattle Partnership This pool does not replace approved blanket vendors in the existing Ecosystem Stewardship and Restoration agreement (ITB PK0-5416 from 2021). Instead, this pool meets federal purchasing requirements specific to these grant funds.

The City has budgeted a total of $2,225,449 for a pool of vendors for site restoration activities (Ecological Stewardship) through 2029. Funding in 2025 is expected to total $637,500 for initial ecological stewardship activities, reducing annually - $589,375.00 in 2026, $405,493.75 in 2027, $369,268.50 in 2028, and $303,731.75 in 2029.

This Contract will also be subject to requirements in accordance Civil Rights Act Title VI as specified below:

All vendors must comply with the provisions of the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 78 Stat. 252, 42 U.S.C. 2000d to 2000d-4 . The law provides that no person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, handicap/disabled, or age be denied the benefits of, be excluded form participation in, or be subjected to, discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.

“The City of Seattle, as subrecipient of the referenced federal-aid, in accordance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (78 Stat. 252, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000d to 2000d-4) and the Regulations, hereby notifies all bidders that it will affirmatively ensure that for any contract entered into pursuant to this advertisement, disadvantaged business enterprises will be afforded full and fair opportunity to submit bids in response to this invitation and will not be discriminated against on the grounds of race, color, or national origin in consideration for an award."
