Last updated 1/22/2020 at 9:27pm
The City of Pittsburgh is now accepting bids for the third year of its City Cuts lawn-cutting program.
City Cuts began in 2018 through legislation introduced by Councilwoman Theresa Kail-Smith, and has assisted over 2,000 Pittsburgh seniors, veterans, and individuals living with disabilities with lawn cutting for the past two years.
Sign-up information for Pittsburgh residents older than 62 or with a disability seeking the complementary service will be announced in the coming months. Homeowners receiving the service will need to sign a liability waiver.
"City Cuts improves the look of the community and helps people who need a helping hand," the councilwoman said.
Interested businesses will need to register with Beacon, the City's web-based procurement platform. Proposal submissions will include the following: Project Approach & Plan; Experience & Capability; and, Statement of Interest.
