About this opportunity
Orange County, Florida is soliciting sealed electronic offers for its Roadway Median Tree and Pond Planting Program (Contract No. Y25-135), which involves comprehensive landscape installation and maintenance services for roadway medians and pond areas. The procurement seeks a contractor to purchase and install various tree species including Red Maple, Eagleston Holly, Southern Magnolia, Juniperus Chinensis, and Shumard Oak, with estimated quantities ranging from 50 to 750 trees/palms per species and a total of 140,000 square yards of performance turf. Key deliverables include initial installation and a mandatory 24-month landscape establishment period, with contractors required to provide a Certified Pest Control Licensee and an ISA Certified Arborist. The electronic submission deadline is Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at 4:00 pm EST, with a question submission deadline of Tuesday, April 1, 2025, at 5:00 pm EST. Bidders must use the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform and cannot submit proposals via hand-delivery, mail, telephone, fax, or email. The contract term is three years with potential for renewal, and the solicitation emphasizes compliance with environmental standards, utility coordination, and stormwater pollution prevention.
While no specific Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation goal is set for this procurement, the contract includes provisions for anti-human trafficking compliance and E-Verify requirements. The procurement is structured as a requirements contract, meaning Orange County is not obligated to purchase a minimum amount of products or services. Contractors must comply with extensive technical specifications, including plant sourcing requirements, soil condition standards, and maintenance protocols aligned with Florida Department of Agriculture guidelines. The fee schedule is divided into two tables: Table 1 covers purchase and installation of trees, palms, and turf, while Table 2 addresses maintenance activities. Although a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive scope and scale of the project—involving multiple tree species, extensive turf installation, and a 24-month establishment period—suggests a significant potential award value. Bidders will need to demonstrate technical expertise, environmental compliance capabilities, and the capacity to manage complex landscape installation and maintenance across Orange County's roadway and pond environments.
