Apalachicola River Wildlife and Environmental Area (ARWEA) Prescribed Burn Rebid

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is seeking competitive pricing for prescribed burning services on the Apalachicola River Wildlife and Environmental Area (ARWEA) in Northwest Florida. The intent is to obtain a one-year contract, with options to renew for up to three additional one-year periods, to maintain and restore native plant species, enhance wildlife habitat, and reduce fuel loads through prescribed burning. Bidders must be registered in the MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) system and with Sunbiz prior to the bid opening. A non-mandatory site visit is available, and questions from bidders must be submitted in writing by the specified deadline. The bid will be awarded to the responsive, responsible bidder who submits the lowest total bid price, which must include pricing for the initial term and each potential renewal year. Bidders are required to provide a minimum of three references for similar projects. FWC reserves the right to select a primary and alternate contractor, and the subcontracting of the Certified Prescribed Burn Manager responsibilities is not permitted.

The contract will be funded through FWC's annual appropriations, and the agency has the right to limit or prohibit burning on any given day based on various factors. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent or contractor, if any, is not specified. The budget range or estimated award value is also not provided in the available information.
