Listing Information/Advertisement

The St. Johns River Water Management District (District) is responsible for managing groundwater and surface water resources in all or part of 18 counties in northeast and east?central Florida. One of the District's core missions is flood control. Flood control responsibilities include maintenance of levees and water control structures. The District also owns and/or manages nearly 700,000 acres of lands which are open for public recreation. Maintenance of levees, structures, roads, and trails is vital to the operational integrity of the District’s flood control system and public recreation activities.
 
Maintenance mowing of vegetated levees, roads, trails, and rights-of-way (ROW) ensures adequate safe access for maintaining the flood control system and public recreational areas. This Statement of Work (SOW) is for Service Mowing services which are required within these areas. The type and frequency of mowing varies by property, but shall conform to the specifications and performance standards described within this SOW. The District is soliciting mowing requests for one Region, defined as the Southwest Region. The actual mowing location(s), acreage, and frequency of mowing in each Region can be found in Appendix A of this SOW. Mowing locations can also be found on a dedicated webpage which provides access to an ArcGIS map titled “SJRWMD Contract Mowing South West – Service Mowing”, see Appendix C for instructions.

The objective is to provide Service Mowing services to ensure safe access on District properties, make it easier for the public to observe signage, and prevent interference with operational efficiency by maintaining desirable vegetation height and coverage.
