This is Addendum 1 to ITB 28-ITB-26, issued by the City of Palm Bay, Florida on February 12, 2026, modifying the original Aquatic Weed Control solicitation. The City seeks qualified contractors to provide herbicide spraying services for aquatic weed control at designated waterway locations throughout Palm Bay. Services shall commence upon full execution of the agreement and continue on a bi-monthly schedule with six applications per year. The contractor shall spray designated acreage to target emerged vegetation including cattails, grasses, and shrubs along waterlines or from the waterline to the high-water mark, with subsurface vegetation treated using appropriate herbicides. All herbicides must be applied in strict accordance with label directions, and contractor personnel must wear all required personal protective equipment. Service requirements include providing minimum 24-hour notice prior to each application, notifying the designated City representative upon completion, allowing City inspection within 5-10 days of application, and correcting any identified deficiencies within five business days at no additional cost. The City intends to award the contract to one contractor.

The pricing structure requires bidders to submit a firm, fixed price per acre for aquatic weed control services. The City reserves the right to add or remove locations during the contract term with pricing adjusted based on the agreed-upon per-acre rate. Addendum 1 responds to bidder questions by providing the bid table from the previous contract period (31-0-2022) for reference; however, the fully executed contract containing proprietary information was not made available to prospective bidders.
