2025-2027 Lawn Maintenance & Snow Removal Services

The Charter Township of Texas seeks proposals from qualified individuals or firms to provide annual residential assessing onsite inspection services per State Commission Guidelines (annual inspection of 20% of properties).

SCOPE SUMMARY

Lawn care is a core component of this contract and is intended to keep Township facilities and public spaces in clean, healthy, and visually appealing condition. Regular maintenance ensures that grass, landscaped areas, and grounds are safe for public use, free of debris, and present a well-kept appearance that reflects positively on the community. The tasks and standards described below define the Township’s expectations for routine service, along with location-specific requirements that address unique site needs.

Snow removal and ice control services are critical to maintaining safe and accessible Township properties during winter months. These services ensure that parking areas, sidewalks, trails, and other public spaces remain passable, minimizing hazards for residents, visitors, and staff. The following requirements establish the Township’s expectations for routine snow and ice management, including response times, material use, service logs, and site-specific priorities to maintain public safety and operational continuity.
