As-Needed Tree Trimming & Fence Line Maintenance Services

Tampa Bay Water is seeking as-needed tree trimming and fence line maintenance services through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for regional locations in Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties. The procurement requires contractors to provide comprehensive services including materials, labor, supervision, transportation, permits, licenses, equipment, and incidentals necessary for land, fence line, and tree clearing operations. Bidders must complete several mandatory documents, including an Authorized Signature Form, Bidders Reference List, E-Verify Affidavit, Florida Bid Bond, and Non-Collusion Affidavit. The contract opportunity was posted on November 12, 2025, with bid submissions due by December 17, 2025. Evaluation criteria will likely include past performance, references, compliance with E-Verify requirements, and the ability to meet technical specifications for maintenance services across multiple county locations.

The procurement appears open to multiple business entity types, including individual contractors, partnerships, corporations, and limited liability corporations. Bidders must demonstrate professional experience by providing three to five references from similar contracts completed within the last five years, with explicit instructions that Tampa Bay Water employees cannot serve as references. Contractors must register and use the E-Verify system to confirm employee work authorization and commit to maintaining compliance throughout the contract term. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documents, the comprehensive nature of the services and multi-county scope suggests a substantial contract opportunity. Potential bidders must ensure their references, legal documentation, and operational capabilities align with Tampa Bay Water's stringent procurement requirements, including notarized affidavits and compliance with Florida employment verification statutes.
