This is an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Guidelines document issued by Sarasota County, Florida in support of the 17th Street Regional Park Concession Services procurement. The guidelines establish pest management protocols and standards that prospective food services operators must comply with when operating concession facilities at the 95-acre athletics and recreation complex. The document specifies requirements for pest prevention, monitoring, and control measures applicable to food preparation and service areas, including provisions for grease trap management and kitchen operations. Concession vendors are required to adhere to these IPM standards as a condition of contract compliance, ensuring that food safety and environmental health standards are maintained across all concession locations throughout the initial five-year contract term with renewal options.

The IPM Guidelines serve as a supplementary compliance document that bidders must incorporate into their operational plans when submitting proposals due November 25, 2025. Adherence to Sarasota County's pest management protocols is mandatory and represents a non-negotiable operational requirement alongside standard food service licensing, insurance coverage, and equipment standards. The guidelines establish baseline environmental and health protections that support the county's broader objectives for the regional park facility, ensuring that concession operations maintain public health standards and support the diverse athletic events and recreational activities scheduled at the venue.
