About this file
This is a Notice of Upcoming Solicitation issued by Sarasota County, Florida for Nuisance Plant Management Services. Sarasota County Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Department issued Request for Qualifications (RFQ) #262843FB to establish a pre-qualified pool of contractors for invasive plant management services to be provided on an as-needed basis. 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 by April 9, 2026. The anticipated initial contract term is three years. All work must comply with the County's Integrated Pest Management practices and utilize only herbicides from the County's approved list.
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 Categories 5, 6, and 21. Each contractor crew must include at least one licensed supervisor capable of identifying Florida Invasive Species Council Category I and II species. Contractors must provide all labor, equipment, materials, supervision, decontamination procedures, environmental protection measures, temporary signage, and geographic location data collection. The County intends to award contracts to all responsive and responsible proposers, with individual projects subsequently awarded to the contractor submitting the lowest lump sum quote. No specific contract value or budget range is disclosed. 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. Contractors who fail to respond to more than three project quote requests within a 12-month period may face contract termination.
