About this file

This document is an addendum to an Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) for the 2024-25 Hand Planting Containerized Longleaf Pine Seedlings at Withlacoochee State Forest project. The addendum revises the timeline, pushing the deadline for sealed bids from October 31, 2024, to October 23, 2024, and the public bid opening from November 1, 2024, to October 24, 2024. It also adjusts the contract period, stating that no planting may begin before January 15, 2025, and must be completed by February 28, 2025. The project involves hand-planting approximately 646 acres of containerized longleaf pine seedlings in Citrus County and Hernando County, Florida. A recommended site visit is scheduled for October 1-9, 2024, and the anticipated posting of the recommended award is October 30, 2024.

The addendum outlines the general terms of the contract, stating that the FFS (likely the Florida Forest Service) will make every reasonable effort to make the seedlings available when needed, but availability cannot be guaranteed. Failure to meet the contract requirements may prevent the contractor from bidding on future contracts for up to three years. The addendum also provides information on the protest process, including the deadline for filing a notice of protest or formal written protest.
