This is a Public Bid Opening document for Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 2026-036 issued by the Town of Palm Beach, Florida, for the furnishing and installation of palm trees along the 400 block of Peruvian Avenue. The project requires the installation of approximately eleven (11) Royal Palm (Roystonea regia) trees with 25 feet of canopy-to-trunk ratio and approximately five (5) Green Malayan Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera) trees with 15 feet of canopy-to-trunk ratio in the right-of-way. All plant material must meet "Florida No. 1" grade or equivalent standards and be free from pests, diseases, and mechanical trunk damage. The contractor is responsible for supplying all materials, labor, tree bracing, and locates. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams to allow bidders to seek clarification from the Contract Coordinator and Town staff. Bids were submitted online through Euna Procurement (Bonfire), the Town's eProcurement platform. The contractor must warrant the survival of all planted palms for one year from the date of substantial completion, with exclusions for acts of God and owner neglect.

Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder whose submission meets all requirements and criteria established in the invitation. The Town reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to award the contract to the bidder who best serves the Town's interests. The warranty period extends for one year following substantial completion, excluding damages resulting from hurricanes, freezes, or insufficient maintenance by the owner.
