The District is requesting responses from firms licensed in the state of Florida to provide Aquatic and/or Terrestrial (whichever is applicable) Herbicide Application Services. The aquatic objectives of this solicitation include maintenance control of nuisance aquatic vegetation to improve flood protection, navigation, recreation, and water quality. The terrestrial objectives are to control nuisance vegetation for the purposes of restoration, protection of watersheds, clearing of fence-lines, road and trail maintenance, and to keep invasive species under maintenance control.

The District will approve all firms that demonstrate the qualifications necessary to successfully perform the activities as outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW) for Aquatic Herbicide Application Services, or Terrestrial Herbicide Application Services or both. Each of the qualified firms selected shall execute a contract with the District for the term of February 2024 through February 2027. Award of these contracts does not preclude the firms from responding to any other projects advertised by the District. The estimated budget for this work is $825,000, a shared not-to-exceed combined total for all Work Orders awarded to all firms for these services through the contract term (for both aquatic and terrestrial herbicide
application services).
