About this file
This document is a set of questions and answers related to Invitation to Bid No. 23/24-017 for Road Mowing services issued by the Suwannee River Water Management District in Florida. The services requested include general road and parking area mowing with tree removal on District lands throughout the Suwannee River Water Management District's area of responsibility. The expected start date is October 1st, and the selected firm must provide all services as indicated in the scope of work. The district previously had separate contracts for this work, with costs ranging from $43.65 to $85.00 per mile in 2022.
The document addresses several key details, including invoicing requirements, availability of detailed maps, information on previous contracts, the impact of hunting season on service areas, and the ability to use subcontractors. It also confirms that there will be no payment for any areas that cannot be mowed due to factors like flooding. The district will provide the selected contractor with an ArcGIS-based navigation application to assist with the work.
