About this opportunity

Sarasota County is seeking a contractor to provide feral swine management services across six county-owned land parcels totaling approximately 9,378 acres, including Pinelands Reserve Complex, North Burrow Area, Rocky Ford, Bee Ridge Landfill/Rothenbach Park, Venice Landfill, and Solid Waste Clark Road. The procurement is an Invitation for Quotes (IFQ) with an initial one-year contract term and four optional one-year renewals. The primary objectives include removing feral swine through trapping and shooting methods, with a target goal of removing 225 feral swine or spending a minimum of 16 total hours per month. Contractors must maintain detailed documentation on each hog removal, including property location, date, time, removal method, number of hogs, GPS location, and hog demographics. Qualified contractors must have relevant experience in wildlife management, provide references, pass background checks, and demonstrate compliance with Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) guidelines. The solicitation was posted on June 9, 2025, with proposals due by July 9, 2025.

The contract does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and business automobile liability policies. The compensation structure includes reimbursement for bait costs with a 10% markup, not to exceed $500 per contract month for most properties, with an additional $50 bait allowance for Bee Ridge and Venice Landfill sites. Payment will be based on the number of feral swine removed, with contractors required to submit monthly reports and adhere to strict documentation requirements. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract suggests a systematic approach to managing feral swine populations on county lands. The potential award value is not explicitly stated, but the detailed compensation structure and performance requirements indicate a comprehensive and potentially significant contract opportunity for wildlife management services.
