About this opportunity

The City of Miami is seeking a contractor to purchase and install 644 trees citywide through Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 2036386, funded by the Inflation Reduction Act Urban and Community Forestry Expansion Grant. The project requires furnishing and installing various tree species including Live Oak, Mahogany, Wild Tamarind, Green Buttonwood, and Crape Myrtle, with specific requirements for tree quality and size across large (172 trees), medium (427 trees), small (35 trees), and palm (10 trees) categories. Bidders must have at least three consecutive years of tree installation experience, employ an International Society of Arborists certified arborist, and demonstrate access to necessary equipment. The bid was issued on June 27, 2025, with a closing date of July 24, 2025 at 3:00 P.M., and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Contractors are required to provide trees that meet Florida Grade #1 standards and must complete an 18-month maintenance period involving watering, fertilizing, and replacing trees that do not survive. The deadline for requesting clarifications is July 9, 2025 at 5:00 P.M., and no pre-bid conference is scheduled.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though standard federal and local non-discrimination policies will apply. Bidders must comply with various regulatory requirements, including E-Verify employment verification, anti-human trafficking regulations, and comprehensive insurance provisions outlined in the Insurance Addendum. Contractors will be subject to background check requirements and must provide original Certificates of Insurance listing the City of Miami as an additional insured. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the detailed scope of work involving 644 trees and an 18-month maintenance period suggests a significant investment. The project includes potential liquidated damages of $100 per calendar day for incomplete work, and full payment will be made upon successful completion of tree planting. Additional compliance requirements include federal reporting provisions, lobbying certifications, and adherence to Forest Service Award Provisions, indicating a complex, multi-faceted procurement process with rigorous administrative oversight.
