This is a lift station locations reference document supporting Sarasota County, Florida's Invitation for Bids (IFB #262798MN) for comprehensive landscape maintenance services countywide. The solicitation, posted February 10, 2026, with bids due March 9, 2026, encompasses landscape maintenance across approximately 201 county-owned properties and 276 lift stations organized into four geographic service zones. Services include turf, tree, shrub, and bed maintenance performed either Monday through Friday (8 a.m. to 6 p.m.) or on weekends, with year-round maintenance (every 7 days) or seasonal maintenance schedules (every 7 days April 1 through October 31; every 14 days November 1 through March 31). The County anticipates awarding up to four separate three-year contracts with a maximum of two zones per bidder, based on lowest total price per zone. Selected contractors must post a $50,000 performance bond per awarded zone. The initial contract term is three years with no renewal options specified in the solicitation materials.

Bidders must demonstrate verifiable experience within the past seven years in herbicide and pesticide application, turf care, and tree, shrub, and palm care, with a minimum of two references showing at least three property locations under a single contract with minimum annual value of $50,000, including at least one governmental institution reference. Successful contractors must maintain valid Florida Commercial Restricted Use Pesticide (RUP) Applicator Licenses in Categories 3, 6, and 21 throughout the contract term and comply with OSHA standards and Sarasota County's Integrated Pest Management standards. Required insurance includes Workers' Compensation ($500,000 minimum Employers Liability), Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate), Business Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), and Pollution Liability ($1,000,000 per claim). The County does not apply local or American business preferences due to grant funding requirements, meaning no set-asides exist for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractor responses to new asset requests must be submitted within ten calendar days, with quotes effective for up to 120 calendar days.
