Drainage Ditch Sediment Removal N Tamiami Trail
What this bid is
Sarasota County Stormwater wants a contractor to clear, remove sediment from, and restore a drainage ditch along North Tamiami Trail in Sarasota, Florida, under quick quote solicitation 2026-QQ-873. The work covers hand clearing, removing built-up sediment and obstructions that slow drain flow, bringing the ditch bottom back to its proper elevations, and re-establishing drainage to cut down on backups. The quote must include all labor, supervision, equipment, tools, materials and incidentals.
The County will pick the lowest total bid from a responsive and responsible bidder, but it says it decides that, and any quote above $50,000 is not to be submitted. If no suitable quotes come in under that threshold, the County may cancel and re-solicit by another method.
A mandatory pre-proposal conference is set for 16 November 2026 at 8:00 AM EST at 4726 North Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL. Questions are due 23 November 2026 at 10:00 AM EST, and responses are due 24 November 2026 at 10:00 AM EST.
