Poultney Downtown Revitalization Committee (PDRC) is seeking estimates from both commercial landscapers and skilled home gardeners to tend the perennial planting beds that abut sidewalks in the mowed areas along both sides of Poultney’s Main Street, between Beaman/Grove Streets at the East end and College Street at the West end, and Slate Quarry Park.
This Scope of Work has been prepared to help interested parties to prepare estimates of the labor and materials costs they will incur to provide the care we seek for these plantings. We have organized the work we seek done by season:

The successful party will be required to provide evidence of liability insurance as required of all contractors performing work on municipal property.
