About this file
This is a vendor outreach email from Sarasota County, Florida's Financial Management Department notifying known contractors of an upcoming Invitation for Bids (IFB #262822FB) for management of nuisance and exotic plants at four solid waste properties throughout the county. The solicitation seeks a contractor to provide both quarterly scheduled services (February, May, August, and November) and as-needed services involving manual and chemical treatment of invasive plant species across four facilities: Central County Solid Waste Disposal Complex in Nokomis, Bee Ridge Landfill in Sarasota, Venice Landfill in Venice, and Clark Road Property in Sarasota. Work includes treatment of invasive plants across fence lines, guardrails, structures, ditches, stormwater ponds, borrow pits, and wetlands using herbicides approved under Sarasota County's Integrated Pest Management Guidelines. All herbicide applications must achieve a minimum 95 percent kill rate of target species with treated vegetation not exceeding twelve inches in height. The bid submission deadline is March 12, 2026, with electronic submission through OpenGov Procurement. The anticipated initial contract term is three years.
Qualified bidders must demonstrate verifiable commercial and aquatic herbicide application experience within the past seven years with a minimum of two references, and all applicators must hold valid Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services licenses in Category 6 (Right-of-Way Pest Control) and Category 21 (Natural Areas Weed Management), with Category 5A (Aquatic Pest Control) required for aquatic applications. Pricing for quarterly services is submitted as a lump sum rate covering all labor, equipment, materials, and chemicals, while as-needed services are billed hourly for on-site time only, with disposal fees for vegetative debris reimbursable as pass-through costs without markup. Award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder submitting the lowest total bid price. No local or American business preferences or set-aside designations apply due to grant funding requirements. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), Business Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), and Pollution Liability coverage ($1,000,000 per claim for pesticide and herbicide applications). Bidders must register with OpenGov Procurement with no fees required for participation.
