All correspondence must be made through the Vendor Portal. Specifications include, but are not limited to: Collier County owns many parcels of land that require exotic vegetation removal and maintenance directed by County Ordinance or by Federal/State agreements. Service requests for the removal and maintenance of vegetation may require a large amount of labor, specialized knowledge of Southwest Florida plants, and pesticide application certification and training. The Parks and Recreation Division is seeking to establish a pre-qualified pool of vendors to be used to solicit quotes for exotic and nuisance vegetation control services throughout the County. The intent of this solicitation is to identify vendors that can provide exotic, nuisance, and other vegetation control services for departments Countywide, on an “as-needed basis.” Management of non-native invasive plants, nuisance, and other vegetation includes mechanical, chemical, and physical methods or a combination of them. The work areas may be in the right-of-way, easements, county-owned or operated facilities, residential neighborhoods, preserves, County owned parks or remote and isolated locations.
