Nuisance Abatement

The City will award up to five (5) Contracts pursuant to this specification title. The City m will solicit bids from private firms by following the competitive bidding procedure in Lawton City Code. The City will award the Contracts to the lowest responsive bidders. When submitting a bid, bidders must submit bid prices based on an hourly rate. The City will calculate payment under the Contract based on a minimum bid of one (1) for the first hour or part thereof and by the half hour for any additional time exceeding the first hour, rounding up to the next higher half hour. A successful bidder must, within seven (7) days from the award, execute and deliver to the City Official the Contract, all bonds, all proofs of insurance and all other such documents related to the Contract as may be required. Should a bidder fail to do so, the City may, in its sole discretion, disqualify the bid and select a substitute Contractor with the next lowest responsive bid. As part of the administrative process to abate a public nuisance, such as provided in m Article 15-2 of Lawton City Code, the City will assess an administrative fee upon the property owner. This administrative fee does not constitute any part of the Contract remuneration. The Contractor should not consider this administrative fee in computing the firm's bid under these specifications. SCOPE OF WORK The Contract made pursuant to this specification title will require Contractors to mow, clean and remove certain material (clippings, junk, trash, deadfall limbs, weeds, debris, etc.) from private property deemed to be a public nuisance. The geographic area under all Contracts will be the municipal corporate limits of the City of Lawton in its entirety. The location of the property, the size of the work area (if smaller than the whole property) and the scope and type of the services to be provided by the Contractor will be described in a written work order issued by the City Official.
