42184-2 Mechanical Vegetation Management with Operator

The St. Johns River Water Management District is establishing a pre‑qualified contractor pool to provide mechanical vegetation mulching services for an initial three‑year term. Contractors will be tasked with cutting and mulching vegetation in designated areas, preserving specific trees, and evenly distributing mulch. Work orders will be issued on an as‑needed basis, and award decisions will consider factors beyond price, such as equipment availability, past performance, and ability to meet timeframes. The district has allocated a not‑to‑exceed budget of $1.5 million for the three‑year period. • Perform mechanical vegetation cutting and mulching, preserving identified trees. • Distribute mulch evenly across work areas as specified. • Respond to work orders competitively; selection may factor in equipment, performance history, and schedule compliance.
