About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This document is Attachment B to a solicitation for regional stormwater facilities maintenance issued by Sarasota County, Florida, and provides bird breeding season considerations for Best Management Practices (BMPs) applicable to the project work. The attachment identifies 46 bird species with confirmed or likely breeding activity within the project area, specifying their individual breeding seasons (ranging from February through August), preferred breeding habitats (including freshwater marshes, wetlands, wooded areas, and tree cavities), and breeding status documentation from the Sarasota Audubon Society checklist and other regional birding sources. The document serves as environmental guidance to contractors performing maintenance work on regional stormwater facilities, including vegetation management, herbicide applications, and planting services across Sarasota County designated site boundaries.

The information provided establishes operational constraints and timing restrictions for contract performance to avoid disruption to active bird nesting and breeding activities. Species documented include waterfowl (wood ducks, mottled ducks, whistling ducks), wading birds (great blue herons, egrets, ibises, roseate spoonbills), rails and cranes (king rails, purple gallinules, sandhill cranes), and various woodland and marsh songbirds. By identifying specific breeding habitats and seasonal timelines, this attachment enables the contractor to schedule maintenance activities, vegetation removal, and herbicide applications outside critical breeding periods or within appropriate zones to protect nesting birds and comply with environmental regulations, particularly the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Florida wildlife protection statutes.
