NON-NATIVE, INVASIVE WEED CONTROL
The Suwannee River Water Management District (District) is seeking proposals for treatment of terrestrial non-native, invasive weeds that are classified by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council as Categories I and II on District-owned lands. Proposals should be based on hourly rates. Treatment for the widely scattered and relatively small infestations will require either chemical or mechanical methods and shall follow recommendations outlined in Floridas Invasive Species Management Plan (http://weedext.ifas.ufl.edu/). Most treatments will not require a full day to complete.
The initial contract shall be for a period of one year with the potential for two subsequent one-year renewals based upon the mutual agreement of the District and the Contractor and no changes to the billing rates. Proposals are due at District Headquarters in Live Oak prior to 11:00 a.m., March 2, 2010. Proposals must be hard copy. Fax transmittals will not be accepted.
Additional information is available and RFP packages may be downloaded from the District website: www.mysuwanneeriver.com. Questions should be addressed to: Project Manager, Beau Willsey at (386)362-1001 or bjw@srwmd.org.
