The best Facility Managers understand that good planning and preparation for an RFP are critical to getting the best value propositions from the companies that submit proposals. ONE Grounds has been preparing multi-property maintenance proposals for sixteen years. We can help FMs navigate the process of preparing and launching your next RFP.
ONE Grounds has the software to host the RFP. We have connections to a network of service vendors to invite to participate. We have the language on specifications that will give you the outcome-based success you need for effective branding, for green, healthy grounds, and for the safety of your customers.
We have seasoned experts in RFP design and hosting. Our team will make your next RFP smooth and effective with great results for your bottom line.
Our team of managers, quality control experts, site engineering planners, and vendor experts can coordinate all aspects of an effective RFP process.
With our help and guidance we can do the heavy lifting needed to get the best results in value and cost on your next RFP.
ONE Grounds will be there throughout the RFP process to solve problems, answer vendor questions, and provide effective communication.
We have proprietary mapping software that can calculate exact square footage estimates of all landscape grounds categories. This will make it more effective for prospective vendors to calculate labor, equipment and materials needed to service each property in the prospectus.
Our experts will analyze each property and work with local staff to identify the site specific features and needs that require extra consideration or notation for effective grounds maintenance. Curbs, hydrants, grates, speed bumps, plow directions, snow pile locations, drainage issues are all planned out.
Our experts will visit some or all locations, as needed, to work with local staff on details that will refine the RFP specifications and inform the goals and language needed to communicate effectively with prospective vendors. This on-site expertise and collaboration results in the very best RFP.
ONE consultants will meet with your team members and facility managers to share final site plans, address any areas of extra concern, and educate on industry best practices to lower costs and maintain quality.
Companies that work collaboratively with our expert landscape consultants can overcome the "ivory tower" sydrome of making specification decisions remotely without the hands-on field expertise needed to commmunicate clearly with the companies who will be on location at each site to carry out the work.
