About this file

This file comprises appendices I through X of a Common Stand Exam (CSE) project solicitation issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for professional forestry service contractors conducting stand examination work in the Apalachicola National Forest. The project encompasses data collection across the Sumatra and Oak Park areas within Liberty, Franklin, and Wakulla Counties, involving approximately 21,073 acres and 3,587 individual plots distributed across multiple compartments and stands. Contractors must locate and monument CSE plots using GPS units and collect comprehensive plot data including tree, sapling, and seedling measurements according to R8 Field Guide protocols. Recommended site visits are scheduled for November 19-25, 2025, with written questions due by December 3, 2025, and sealed bids required by December 10, 2025, at 5:00 PM. The contract term spans approximately five months, concluding by May 31, 2026, with potential renewal options for three additional one-year periods.

The appendices detail specific data collection requirements, including setting data, plot data, tree data, sapling data, and seedling data collection standards with accuracy benchmarks. Payment is structured on a per-plot basis contingent upon successful data collection meeting United States Forest Service inspection standards, with financial consequences including $150 daily deductions for data submission delays and 50 percent unit price reductions for plots failing re-inspection. Contractors must provide their own equipment, including laptop computers, GPS units, and flagging materials, and maintain mandatory insurance coverage of $1,000,000 general liability per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, $300,000 automobile liability, and workers' compensation insurance. Contractors must possess a minimum two-year forestry degree or equivalent technical experience and register with MyFloridaMarketPlace and the Vendor Information Portal. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are designated, and a specific total contract value is not disclosed.
