Pre-Advertisement Notice for Annual Natural Area Management Program

The City of Atlanta, on behalf of the Department of Watershed Management (DWM), will shortly undergo a Multi Step Sealed Bid process comprised of a prequalification phase as the initial step, followed by an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the procurement of qualified suppliers to provide services under the Annual Natural Area Management Program. The program consists of three primary areas of emphasis: Invasive Plant Control, Forestry Services, and Land Management. Interested vendors during the prequalification phase will be evaluated based on their demonstrated experience providing invasive plant control, forestry services, and land management. Vendors must demonstrate a minimum of five years of relevant experience, provide an organizational chart and resumes for key project personnel, and identify two successfully completed or current projects within the last two years that are similar in scope and complexity. Vendors must also demonstrate an established safety program and provide the required safety record information. The City�s expectation is that the selected supplier will provide safe, effective, and responsive natural area management services that support the protection, restoration, and long-term management of City properties and natural areas. Services may include invasive plant control, routine and emergency forestry services, and natural resource and conservation land management activities. A Pre Solicitation Conference will be noticed and held to provide additional details and answer questions from interested vendors. We look forward to your participation.
