About this opportunity
Sarasota County is seeking a contractor for Regional Stormwater Facilities Maintenance through an Invitation for Bids (IFB) covering six designated sites totaling approximately 804.5 acres, including Briarwood, Catfish Creek, Celery Fields, Dona Bay Phase 2, and Red Bug Slough. The primary services include managing nuisance and exotic vegetation, performing herbicide applications, and conducting planting services, with maintenance to be performed six times per year on a bi-monthly schedule. Bidders must demonstrate prior experience in vegetation treatment and removal, provide at least two references from the past seven years, and hold appropriate pesticide applicator licenses. Contractors will be responsible for equipment decontamination, debris removal, reporting through a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), and guaranteeing 90% survivorship of planted vegetation for 60 days. The bid submission deadline is September 16, 2025, with initial contract services commencing within 30 days of award. Evaluation will be based on the lowest total bid price, with the contract anticipated to have an initial term of three years. Successful bidders must comply with Florida Green Industries Best Management Practices and maintain specific insurance coverages.
The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide a performance bond of $50,000 and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, Business Automobile Liability, and Pollution Liability for pesticide/herbicide applications. The project documents note that local and American business preferences are acknowledged but not applicable due to grant funding requirements. While no incumbent vendor is specified, the detailed attachments include a Florida Invasive Species Council plant list and an approved planting list that provide extensive guidance on acceptable vegetation. The solicitation requires contractors to use native plant species from the approved list, focusing on ecological restoration and appropriate vegetation for various hydrological environments. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the maintenance contract across multiple sites suggests a substantial investment in regional stormwater facility management.
