About this file
This document is a question and answer (Q&A) summary related to the Homestead Invasive Species Control Project DMA-ITB-321 solicitation issued by the Florida Department of Military Affairs (DMA). The project requires the removal of invasive species and some native trees, as well as the transplantation of threatened and endangered (T&E) species, across 76 acres of leased land in Homestead, Florida adjacent to the Homestead Air Force Reserve Base. The contract is anticipated to be awarded for a 3-year term starting on or about November 30, 2024. The Q&A addresses questions regarding debris/vegetation disposal methods, with the DMA clarifying that pile burning is not an acceptable approach due to toxicity concerns. Additionally, the DMA confirms that it is not feasible to bid out the parcels individually due to bidding and funding processes.
The estimated expenditure for this project is $120,000.00, though this is just an estimate. The contract will be awarded to a single vendor, and there is no mention of any set-asides or incumbent contractors. The funding source and any other salient financial details are not provided in this Q&A document.

Homestead Invasive Species Control Project DMA-ITB-321 Questions & Answers Question 1. Will pile burning be an acceptable debris/vegetation disposal form? This would be a preferred, cost-effective method to minimize the spread of invasive species that would otherwise be exposed during haul-off.
Answer 1. Pile burning is not an acceptable disposal form. Both Brazilian pepper and poisonwood are toxic and the smoke from burning can be highly irritating to eyes, skin and lungs. Per the Scope of Work Section 3.2.1 and ITB-321 Section 5.4.3, the waste (vegetation debris) must be physically removed from the site.
Question 2. Given the anticipated budget, has the DMA considered bidding out the parcels individually?
Answer 2. Due to biding and funding processes and timeline concerns, it is not feasible to bid out parcels individually. The Estimated Expenditure of $120,000.00 posted in the ITB-321 Section 4.4 is just an estimate.
