About this file

This is an approved planting list attachment for a Regional Stormwater Facilities Maintenance contract solicitation issued by Sarasota County, Florida. The document specifies native plant species approved for use across multiple stormwater facility sites within the county's designated boundaries. The contract scope includes management of nuisance and exotic vegetation, herbicide applications, and planting services, with an anticipated initial contract term of three years. The approved planting list is organized by specific facility locations including Briarwood, Catfish Creek, Celery Fields (North, Central, South, and Walker Tract), and Red Bug Slough, with each site segmented into distinct ecological zones such as anaerobic zones, aerobic zones, littoral shelves, open water areas, forested wetlands, and upland buffers.

The planting list prescribes native species appropriate for each ecological zone and restoration area, including aquatic plants such as yellow water lily, pickerelweed, and various arrowhead species; woody species including bald cypress, red maple, and buttonbush; and upland buffer vegetation such as cabbage palm, laurel oak, and saw palmetto. Each plant is listed with both common and scientific names to ensure accurate identification and procurement. The document does not contain pricing information, set-asides, incumbent contractor details, or specific funding amounts, as it functions as a technical specification document establishing the baseline approved vegetation for all contractors bidding on the regional stormwater facilities maintenance contract.
