The project encompasses dune planting and maintenance services across three primary locations: Sand Key, Treasure Island, and Pass-a-Grille, with work divided into two zones per location based on specific plant species composition requirements. Bidders are required to plant native coastal vegetation including sea oats, panicgrass, railroad vine, and seashore dropseed in varying percentages by zone, with estimated quantities ranging from 4 to 13.3 acres per zone and approximately 4,900 to 16,335 plants per acre depending on species and location. The solicitation was released on October 30, 2025, with questions due by November 3, 2025, and proposals due by November 6, 2025, at 3:00 pm. Contractors must participate in mandatory site visits with the County Project Manager prior to submitting work assignment quantities. The contract is structured for a 12-month initial term with potential renewal options for four additional 12-month periods, with multiple work assignments anticipated throughout the contract duration.

The total estimated project cost is $1,801,881.18, comprised of a base cost of $1,638,073.80 and a contingency allocation of $163,807.38. Unit pricing for 1-inch plant installations is fixed at $1.15 per plant across all locations and species. The pricing proposal details account allocations by project location and includes subtotals per acre and total costs for each zone. Contractors are required to use native coastal vegetation species collected from the West Central Florida coast and must comply with wildlife monitoring requirements during shorebird nesting season (February 15 through September 1) and marine turtle nesting season (May 1 through October 31). Additional compliance requirements include E-Verify verification, comprehensive insurance coverage with minimum limits including Workers' Compensation and Commercial General Liability, a Common Carrier Attestation, Foreign Countries of Concern Affidavit, and Human Trafficking Affidavit. The project includes a 180-day warranty period with specific success criteria based on plant survival rates and root penetration.
