This is a Pesticide Application Record form used by Sarasota County, Florida to document herbicide and pesticide applications for vegetation management. The form captures comprehensive details regarding pesticide application activities, including contract or purchase order information, application date and time, site location, applicator credentials, target species, application method, and equipment specifications. The record documents weather conditions at the time of application such as air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and cloud cover percentage. The form also tracks product information including herbicide name, concentration per gallon, lot number, application equipment type, pressure settings, total acreage covered, gallons used, and daily usage rates. All applications require applicator signature and include space for additional comments regarding site conditions or application specifics.

This form serves as the operational documentation mechanism for Sarasota County's pesticide application compliance and record-keeping requirements. The form is directly associated with the county's Invitation for Bids (IFB #262822FB) for management of nuisance and exotic plants at four solid waste properties, where successful contractors must maintain detailed application records demonstrating compliance with Integrated Pest Management Guidelines, achievement of minimum 95 percent kill rates of target species, and adherence to "Do Not Spray" zones around groundwater monitoring infrastructure. Qualified applicators must hold valid Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services licenses in Categories 6 and 21, with Category 5A required for aquatic applications. The three-year contract, with electronic bid submission due March 12, 2026, requires comprehensive insurance coverage including $1,000,000 Pollution Liability coverage for pesticide and herbicide applications, with pricing submitted as lump sum rates for quarterly services and hourly rates for as-needed services.
