Landscape Maintenance Services Zone Overview Map

Attachment A is a geographic zone map produced by Sarasota County GIS depicting the service areas for a countywide landscape maintenance procurement. The map displays four distinct landscape maintenance service zones across Sarasota County, Florida, covering jurisdictions including the City of North Port, Town of Longboat Key, City of Sarasota, City of Venice, and unincorporated Sarasota County. The zones are illustrated with colored boundaries overlaid on major roads and municipal boundaries, with ZIP codes (ranging from 34223 to 34293) identified throughout the service territory to facilitate geographic organization and contractor assignment. The map serves as a reference document for bidders responding to Invitation for Bids #262798MN, which requires vendors to provide services across approximately 201 county-owned and operated properties including parks, office buildings, libraries, fire stations, and water and wastewater facilities. The County anticipates awarding up to four separate three-year contracts with a maximum of two zones per bidder, structured to allow multiple contractors to serve different geographic areas while maintaining coordinated countywide landscape maintenance operations.

The zone-based structure enables the County to manage service delivery efficiency while allowing qualified contractors to focus on specific geographic regions. Each zone encompasses distinct municipal and unincorporated areas requiring turf, tree, shrub, and bed maintenance services performed on either Monday through Friday (8 a.m. to 6 p.m.) or weekend schedules, with frequencies of either year-round weekly service or seasonal service (weekly April 1 through October 31; biweekly November 1 through March 31). Bidders must possess valid Florida Commercial Restricted Use Pesticide Applicator Licenses in Categories 3, 6, and 21 and provide evidence of prior experience maintaining multiple property locations under single contracts with minimum annual values of $50,000. Performance bonds of $50,000 per awarded zone are required, with comprehensive insurance coverage including Workers' Compensation, General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate, Business Automobile Liability of $1,000,000, and Pollution Liability of $1,000,000 per claim.
