Attachment A is a zone overview map produced by Sarasota County GIS for the Landscape Maintenance Services Countywide procurement (IFB #262798MN) in Florida. The map displays four geographic service zones across Sarasota County, including areas within the City of North Port, Town of Longboat Key, City of Sarasota, City of Venice, and unincorporated Sarasota County. The map identifies major roads and municipal boundaries to delineate the service territories. The solicitation, posted February 10, 2026, requires bidders to submit proposals through OpenGov by March 9, 2026. The County seeks landscape maintenance services for approximately 201 county-owned and operated properties including parks, office buildings, libraries, fire stations, and water and wastewater facilities, with services including mowing, trimming, edging, pruning, weed control, and herbicide application. Maintenance frequencies vary between year-round weekly service (every 7 days) and seasonal service (every 7 days April 1 through October 31; every 14 days November 1 through March 31), with scheduling either Monday through Friday (8 a.m. to 6 p.m.) or weekends. The County anticipates awarding up to four separate three-year contracts, with a maximum of two zones per bidder selected on lowest total price per zone.

Successful contractors must maintain valid Florida Commercial Restricted Use Pesticide Applicator Licenses in Categories 3, 6, and 21 throughout the contract term and comply with Sarasota County's Integrated Pest Management standards.
