About this file
This is a procurement notification email from Sarasota County, Florida regarding Request for Qualifications (RFQ) #262843FB for Nuisance Plant Management Services. Sarasota County is establishing a pre-qualified pool of contractors to provide invasive plant management services on an as-needed basis for the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Department. The solicitation encompasses three primary service categories: upland invasive plant treatment and removal, wetland and aquatic invasive plant treatment and removal, and invasive vegetation mulching across County parks, natural areas, trails, and water access sites. The RFQ was posted on March 10, 2026, with proposals due on April 9, 2026. The anticipated contract term is three years, with individual projects subsequently awarded to contractors submitting the lowest lump sum quotes. Proposers must demonstrate seven years of prior experience in invasive plant management services and hold current Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services pesticide applicator licenses in the appropriate categories (Category 5 for aquatic pest control, Category 6 for right-of-way pest control, and Category 21 for natural areas weed management).
The County intends to award contracts to all responsive and responsible proposers, with no set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to specific enterprise types. No incumbent vendor information or specific contract award value is disclosed; instead, individual projects will be awarded based on competitive lump sum quotes. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including workers' compensation, commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, business automobile liability, pollution liability for pesticides and herbicides, and marine liability if applicable, with the County named as an additional insured. Each contractor crew must include at least one licensed supervisor and staff capable of identifying Florida Invasive Species Council Category I and II species. All work must comply with the County's Integrated Pest Management practices and utilize only herbicides from the County's approved list. Contractors are responsible for providing all labor, equipment, materials, supervision, decontamination procedures, environmental protection measures, temporary signage, and geographic location data collection as required. Contractors who fail to respond to more than three project quote requests within a 12-month period may face contract termination.
