About this opportunity

The City of Orlando is seeking to establish a term contract through Invitation for Bid (IFB23-0507) for the purchase and delivery of trees, with the intent to award contracts to a minimum of four contractors. The procurement covers 34 line items of various tree species including Elaeocarpus, Ilex, Lagerstroemia, Magnolia, Quercus, Ulmus, Tabebuia, and multiple palm varieties, with specific requirements for container sizes (25 and 65 gallon), tree height, spread, caliper, and trunk characteristics. Bidders must have a local service facility within 100 miles of the City Nursery and have been in the tree growing business for at least 5 years. The bid responses are due electronically by November 21, 2023, at 2:00 PM, with a virtual bid opening scheduled. The initial contract term is one year, with potential renewals for up to four additional twelve-month periods, potentially extending the contract to a total of five years. Key qualifications include providing trees free from pests, with standard trunks, and being container-grown, with the City reserving the right to inspect nurseries prior to contract award to ensure compliance with specifications.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations mentioned in the solicitation. The bid includes a unique discount line item allowing contractors to propose trees not listed on the bid sheets, providing flexibility in the procurement process. Quantities range from 10 to 200 trees per line item, with the City explicitly stating that these are estimated quantities and not guaranteed, and the City is not obligated to purchase any minimum amount. All pricing is to be F.O.B. Destination, with delivery to any City of Orlando Department. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the bid covering 34 different tree types suggests a potentially significant procurement value. The solicitation emphasizes competitive pricing and the ability to meet specific tree quality standards, with the City seeking multiple contractors to ensure a diverse and reliable supply of trees for municipal landscaping and urban forestry needs.
