Q & A deadline: Sep 14, 2027 2:00:00 PM CDT The City intends to prequalify vendors as categorized below: 1.1 General Landscape Materials and Services. The City has various landscape maintenance contracts that provide routine landscape maintenance services to specific Miami Beach streetscapes, municipal facilities, and coastal areas. However, from time to time there is a need to replace existing landscape or add landscaping to existing or new locations. The Citys incumbent landscape maintenance contractors are not always the best equipped to provide the required landscape materials and/or services, due to quantity, size or species. Also, in the past, the lack of manpower and equipment availability have been concerns in response to emergency situations. Therefore, creating a pool of prequalified firms to be able to respond to supplemental landscaping needs, on an as-needed basis, is essential to the City. General landscape services are defined as the performance of landscape services at various City of Miami Beach streetscapes, municipal facilities, and coastal areas with the objective to maintain areas in vigorous, healthy, growing, safe, clean, and attractive condition throughout the year. General landscape materials and services: purchase and delivery of ground cover plant material, trees, and palms; purchase, delivery, and installation of ground cover plant material, trees, and palms; purchase and delivery of planting supplies; watering; pruning; stump grinding; staking and guying; and tree removal services. 1.2 Emergency Services. Emergency Services are defined as work that is required in response to a natural or other disaster and shall be based on an as-needed basis. Emergency landscape materials and services: tree and palm removal services; tree and palm pruning services; stump grinding; tree and palm staking and guying; and furnish and deliver landscape materials and supplies. Interested contractors may submit an application (attached) indicating their intent to become prequalified. All contractors who meet or exceed the criteria established in this solicitation shall be placed on a prequalification list. City departments may access this list to obtain price quotations from contractors for the category of goods or services (See 1.1 and 1.2 above) required for general or emergency landscape materials and services. Bidders must specify which categories they are requesting to be prequalified for as part of the Application Process (refer to Appendix A). Bidders are not required to participate in all categories to be considered part of the prequalified pool. However, a bidder may only participate in the category for which it has been prequalified.
