Nonnative Snake Control

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is seeking competitive proposals for the effective removal of nonnative snake species, particularly Burmese pythons, from Florida's ecosystem. The project term is one year, with a possible one-year renewal, and the FWC is aiming to supplement their current removal efforts with this contract. Respondents must provide a methodology and approach for the removal of snakes from public, Commission-managed lands, and will be evaluated on their experience, qualifications, and cost. The successful respondent will be required to provide monthly reports detailing survey hours, areas visited, snakes removed, and project completion progress, as well as a final report summarizing the project results and findings.

The RFP encourages respondents to utilize minority, women, and veteran-owned business enterprises, and the available project budget is up to $950,000. Respondents must be registered in the MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) system and with Sunbiz prior to the bid opening, which is scheduled for 2:00 PM ET on May 7, 2024. The RFP requires compliance with all applicable state and federal laws, including provisions related to public records, intellectual property, and employment eligibility verification.
