About this opportunity

The City of Altamonte Springs in Seminole County, Florida, is seeking bids for a citywide sod removal, purchase, and installation contract through Invitation to Bid (ITB-25-011-RS). The procurement seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive sod services, including furnishing labor, materials, and equipment to supply, deliver, remove, and install various sod strains on an as-needed basis. Specific sod types include St. Augustine "Floratam", St. Augustine "Seville", Bermuda 419, and Bahia, with anticipated quantities ranging from 20,000 to 50,000 square feet. The contract will have an initial twelve-month term with potential for four additional one-year renewals, totaling up to five years. Key bid submission requirements include detailed pricing for sod removal, installation, and supply, with bidders required to specify pallet sizes and provide comprehensive documentation including business tax receipts, references, and a conflict of interest statement.

Four landscape and sod companies participated in the bidding process, including Duval Landscape Maintenance, LLC, Lake Jem Farms, LLC, Polk City Sod Inc., and JHL Landscape Supply, LLC. The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must comply with E-Verify employment eligibility requirements and maintain specific insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and commercial auto liability, with the city to be named as an additional insured. After evaluating vendor submittals, the Leisure Services Department has recommended Lake Jem Farms, LLC as the lowest responsible and qualified vendor, with a total submittal amount of $172,970.00. The department has confirmed funding availability through Finance/Accounting, with no budget adjustments required.
