Phoenix Works to Help Local Landscapers

<div class="ExternalClass2CA2C7C315994863AF8792E05EC471E7"><html> Earlier this year, the City of Phoenix Finance Department announced a breakthrough program to help local landscape businesses land a contract with the city. After a successful introductory webinar in January with more than 100 attendees, the Finance Department is announcing upcoming virtual educational classes to help local landscape companies navigate the city's public contract process, in hopes to spread the wealth to smaller, underrepresented businesses. The City of Phoenix will be offering the following virtual classes to assist local business owners: VENDOR SELF-REGISTRATION : Vendors must be registered in the City's eProcurement Self-Registration System at <a target="_blank" href="/financesite/Pages/EProc-help.aspx">https://www.phoenix.gov/financesite/Pages/EProc-help.aspx</a> in order to receive solicitation notices, respond to solicitations and access procurement information. The City may, at its sole discretion, reject any offer from an Offeror who has not registered in the City's eProcurement system.

All concerns or requests for modification should be e-mailed to the procurement officer prior to the due date. Offers submitted with added notes, strikethroughs, exceptions, or contingencies may be deemed non-responsive and eliminated from consideration for award. Spanish interpretation services will be available for these trainings. “This educational series is a great opportunity for local businesses in Phoenix." said T.J. Martin, Assistant Finance Director. ““The City of Phoenix Finance Department hopes to award multiple contracts with landscape businesses across Phoenix to help build the local economy by developing local businesses with real chances for consistent earning potential." The City of Phoenix had a budgeted $24.6 million contract for landscaping between 2017 and 2022, almost $5 million annually! That contract expires on May 31, 2022, and Phoenix is looking for new, small business landscapers to contract with and share a piece of the pie!
