The Florida Department of Transportation awarded a contract valued at $12,000.00 on June 9, 2026, for forestry mulching services. The contract is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2026, representing a compressed performance period of approximately three weeks. The scope of work encompasses vegetation removal and site clearing along approximately 930 linear feet on both the east and west sides of a fenced area, with work to be performed in Florida.

The service delivery involves the mobilization of two Caterpillar 275XE skid steer loaders (130+ horsepower) equipped with FECON forestry mulcher attachments featuring knife-style teeth, along with grapple attachments and skilled equipment operators. On the east side, operators will utilize grapple attachments to pull vegetation away from the fence perimeter before mulching all overgrowth vegetation and native trees with a diameter at breast height of less than five inches in accordance with county guidelines. On the west side, operators will employ chainsaws to cut vegetation growing through chain-link fencing, then use grapple attachments to scrape trimmings and consolidate debris to the east side for mulching operations.
