The City of Clearwater is seeking multiple contractors to provide comprehensive landscaping maintenance services across six designated geographic zones, with Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 42-25 covering maintenance of various municipal properties including right-of-way areas, parks, stormwater facilities, municipal buildings, and parking lots. The solicitation requires bidders to have a contractor owner or principal with at least three years of commercial landscaping experience, along with three references from similar public agency services. Contractors must also employ a full-time commercial limited pesticide applicator and provide a valid Florida Department of Agriculture Pesticide Applicator License. The bid covers landscape maintenance for diverse locations with varying service levels (1G, 2G, 3G, 1P, 2P, 3P), indicating different maintenance frequencies and intensities across zones including Beach, Countryside, East, Northwest, Southwest, and Ballfields. Bids are due on Monday, July 28, 2025, at 10:00 am local time, with the contract anticipated to begin on October 1, 2025, following Council Authorization in September 2025. The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will have an initial term of one year with potential for up to three one-year renewals, and pricing may be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documents, the comprehensive nature of the solicitation suggests a significant municipal investment in landscaping maintenance services. The City reserves the right to distribute awards across multiple contractors based on capacity, past performance, and pricing reasonableness. Electronic bids must be submitted through the city's e-Procurement Portal, with the potential for zone-specific awards that allow for multiple contractor selection. The solicitation includes detailed exhibits mapping out specific maintenance requirements for each zone, including precise location details, service levels, and expected maintenance visits for numerous municipal properties.
