The City of Parksville Parks Department is requesting bids for the supply and delivery of annual bedding plants and hanging baskets for the spring of 2024. Please base prices for flats containing either 606's or 4" pots as stated. If you feel a plant would be better in a different pot size, please make a comment in your quote (number ordered may be adjusted). Hanging baskets contain 24 plants per basket as specified in the accompanying document. Baskets are heavy duty 16" Victorian frames, felt lined with felt wicks. Frames (with felt liners and wicks), hangers and drip trays are to be supplied and delivered to the grower by the City of Parksville if the grower is within 50 km of Parksville. If outside the 50km distance or outside Vancouver Island, pick up of baskets is required to be covered by the grower in the quotation. 133 baskets are required to be constructed (112 sun and 21 shade). A minimum of an 8 week grow-on period in the greenhouse is required for the hanging baskets. Plants are to be priced as ordered; no substitutions will be accepted and paid for without prior consultation with this office. The City of Parksville reserves the right if necessary, to adjust order size prior to when the greenhouse commences growing. Please advise at time of quote if substitutions are required. Substitutions are to be made in consultation with myself: Aimee Casey, Trades II Gardener. I can be contacted at ACasey@parksville.ca or 250 927-5323 (mobile). All plants must be grown in a sterilized growing medium, free from weeds or weed seeds. All plants must be delivered in vigorous and healthy condition and must be hardened off prior to delivery. Plants must meet the approval of the City of Parksville Parks Department representative. Plants that are of poor quality may be refused or accepted at no cost to the city at date and time of delivery. Refused plants must be replaced, at grower's expense, within two weeks of delivery.
