2022 invasive- exotic plant treatment services

The Suwannee River Water Management District (District) in Florida is seeking proposals from experienced contractors to provide invasive plant treatment services on the Starke Bypass Project Area in Bradford County. The District is requesting contractors to control and eradicate invasive plant species across approximately 251 acres to facilitate natural community restoration and maintenance. Contractors must have a proven track record of successfully completing similar invasive plant treatment projects. Proposals will be evaluated based on the contractor's experience, use of licensed personnel, and bid pricing. The initial contract will be for one year with two potential one-year renewals. Contractors must provide bids for all individual treatment units and both initial and future maintenance treatments, with the total initial treatment cost being the basis for comparison. A mandatory pre-proposal site visit is scheduled for May 26, 2022, and proposals are due by June 2, 2022. The extent of work scheduled for fiscal year 2022 will depend on the submitted bid prices, treatment priorities, and available budget. Contractors must meet specific insurance, licensing, application, and compliance requirements to be considered responsive.

The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor or current contractor is not specified. The available budget range for this procurement is also not provided in the RFP document.
