FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration	of	Resolution	2025-12
Designation of a Regular Monthly Meeting Date, Time, and Location for Fiscal Year 2026
Ms. O’Rourke presented Resolution 2025-12. The Board decided to add a meeting on Tuesday, December 2nd at 1:00 p.m. and cancel the November and December meetings. Other than those noted changes, the regular monthly meeting date, time, and location for Fiscal Year 2026 will stay the same.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Attorney
Ms. Rinaldi had nothing to report to the Board.

Engineer
The Engineer was not in attendance.

Field Manager’s Report
Mr. Bailey reviewed the Field Manager’s Report in the agenda package. He noted a few various signs that have been straightened throughout the District. He also noted that the palm tree that was installed on the first roundabout has not been taking very well, so Prince is going to reschedule taking that one out, putting in a new one and slightly moving it from its position at their cost. He stated the entrance landscape is looking healthy from the rain and the heat does not appear to be having an impact on it currently. He explained that the landscape roundabouts are looking good except for the palm tree that needs to be replaced. He noted the landscape at the Amenity Center is staying in a healthy state from all the rain. He pointed out the transitional ponds are still holding water, and the cleanouts need to wait to be inspected till everything is dry. Discussion ensued on mowing versus discing and it was decided to ask the engineer to weigh in on a solution. Ms. Evans asked for the front entrance monument sign landscape to be manicured by rounding and evening out the trees next to the sign.

Consideration of Fiscal Year 2026 Contract Increases – ADDED
Mr. Bailey stated the backside of Phase 2 got delayed during the winter because of the winter month with the grass. They have been trying to get Center State back out there to do it. He noted they are still talking with them to finish up some of the punch list items. He pointed out that Prince didn’t bid those areas because they weren’t maintainable originally. He added that part of the increase that they’re looking for originally was to go up 3%, but they’re also questioning this mowing of the pond bottom which would lead them to want to disc them, which would increase it. Mr. Finotti requested a map of the areas Center State has to finish. The budget was discussed briefly. They are going to get final numbers from Prince. Mr. Bailey is going to let the two potential landscaping vendors know that nothing is to pass the budget line and ask for proposals for the next
August 26, 2025	Wind Meadows South CDD

meeting. After discussion, it was decided to bring this item back for consideration once they have final numbers from Prince as well as other vendor options.
Mr. Bailey reviewed the contract renewals. He stated Resort Pools is their current pool vendor and there is a 5% increase. He noted these were all in the 2026 budget. Their current pest company has a 5% increase.

District Manager’s Report
Approval of Check Register
Ms. O’Rourke presented the check register for the period from July 10, 2025, through August 8, 2025, totaling $181,681.93.

Balance Sheet & Income Statement
Ms. O’Rourke stated these are the unaudited financials. She noted they are 100% collected on assessments. They are provided for informational purposes. Ms. Evans asked if there was any money left over in the construction fund. Ms. Rinaldi is going to review the construction fund and reserve release.

Approval of Amenity Policy Clarification Regarding Access Card Issuance
Ms. O’Rourke stated this was an administrative change to the language that they have in their amenity policies under the access cards. Right now, it says that the access cards are issued upon closing. The edit will say that they’re issued after a resident registers for amenity access. They also added that they would like the to include two access cards at the time they register.

Public Meetings, Hearings, and Workshops
Language was added to Rule 1.3(1)(d) to provide an earlier deadline for individuals to request accommodations for meeting participation.

The Vice-Chairperson shall be a member of the Board and shall have such duties and responsibilities as specifically designated by the Board from time to time. The Vice-Chairperson has the authority to execute resolutions and contracts on the District’s behalf in the absence of the Chairperson. If the Vice-Chairperson resigns from office or ceases to be a member of the Board, the Board shall select a Vice-Chairperson. The Vice-Chairperson serves at the pleasure of the Board.

The Secretary of the Board serves at the pleasure of the Board and need not be a member of the Board. The Secretary shall be responsible for maintaining the minutes of Board meetings and may have other duties assigned by the Board from time to time. An employee of the District Manager may serve as Secretary. The Secretary shall be bonded by a reputable and qualified bonding company in at least the amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000), or have in place a fidelity bond, employee theft insurance policy, or a comparable product in at least the amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) that names the District as an additional insured.

The Treasurer need not be a member of the Board but must be a resident of the State of Florida. The Treasurer shall perform duties described in Section 190.007(2) and (3) of the Florida Statutes, as well as those assigned by the Board from time to time.

In the event that both the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson are absent from a Board meeting and a quorum is present, the Board may designate one of its members or a member of District staff to convene and conduct the meeting. In such circumstances, any of the Board members present are authorized to execute agreements, resolutions, and other documents approved by the Board at such meeting. In the event that the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson are both unavailable to execute a document previously approved by the Board, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary may execute such document.

The Board may assign additional duties to District officers from time to time, which include, but are not limited to, executing documents on behalf of the District.
The Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, and any other person authorized by District Resolution may sign checks and warrants for the District, countersigned by the Treasurer or other persons authorized by the Board.

Committees. The Board may establish committees of the Board, either on a permanent or temporary basis, to perform specifically designated functions. Committees may include individuals who are not members of the Board. Such functions may include, but are not limited to, review of bids, proposals, and qualifications, contract negotiations, personnel matters, and budget preparation. Florida Open Meetings Laws apply to such Committees.

Record Book. The Board shall keep a permanent record book entitled “Record of Proceedings,” in which shall be recorded minutes of all meetings, resolutions, proceedings, certificates, and corporate acts. The Records of Proceedings shall be located at a District office and shall be available for inspection by the public.

Meetings. For each fiscal year, the Board shall establish a schedule of regular meetings, which shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the District is located and filed with the local general-purpose governments within whose boundaries the District is located. All meetings of the Board and Committees serving an advisory function shall be open to the public in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 286 of the Florida Statutes.

Voting Conflict of Interest. The Board shall comply with Section 112.3143 of the Florida Statutes, so as to ensure the proper disclosure of conflicts of interest on matters coming before the Board for a vote. For the purposes of this section, "voting conflict of interest" shall be governed by the Florida Constitution and Chapters 112 and 190 of the Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time. Generally, a voting conflict exists when a Board member is called upon to vote on an item which would inure to the Board member’s special private gain or loss or the Board member knows would inure to the special private gain or loss of a principal by whom the Board member is retained, the parent organization or subsidiary of a corporate principal, a business associate, or a relative including only a father, mother, son, daughter, husband, wife, brother, sister, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law.

When a Board member knows the member has a conflict of interest on a matter coming before the Board, the member should notify the Board’s Secretary prior to participating in any discussion with the Board on the matter. The Board member shall publicly announce the conflict of interest at the meeting. This announcement shall appear in the minutes.

If the Board member was elected at a landowner’s election or appointed to fill a vacancy of a seat last filled at a landowner’s election, the Board member may vote or abstain from voting on the matter at issue. If the Board
member was elected by electors residing within the District, the Board member is prohibited from voting on the matter at issue. In the event that the Board member intends to abstain or is prohibited from voting, such Board member shall not participate in the discussion on the item subject to the vote.

The Board’s Secretary shall prepare a Memorandum of Voting Conflict (Form 8B) which shall then be signed by the Board member, filed with the Board’s Secretary, and provided for attachment to the minutes of the meeting within fifteen (15) days of the meeting.

If a Board member inadvertently votes on a matter and later learns he or she has a conflict on the matter, the member shall immediately notify the Board’s Secretary. Within fifteen (15) days of the notification, the member shall file the appropriate Memorandum of Voting Conflict, which will be attached to the minutes of the Board meeting during which the vote on the matter occurred. The Memorandum of Voting Conflict shall immediately be provided to other Board members and shall be read publicly at the next meeting held subsequent to the filing of the Memorandum of Voting Conflict. The Board member’s vote is unaffected by this filing.

It is not a conflict of interest for a Board member, the District Manager, or an employee of the District to be a stockholder, officer or employee of a landowner or of an entity affiliated with a landowner.

In the event that a Board member elected at a landowner’s election or appointed to fill a vacancy of a seat last filled at a landowner’s election, has a continuing conflict of interest, such Board member is permitted to file a Memorandum of Voting Conflict at any time in which it shall state the nature of the continuing conflict. Only one such continuing Memorandum of Voting Conflict shall be required to be filed for each term the Board member is in office.

Certified copies of public records shall be made available at a charge of one dollar ($1.00) per page. If the nature or volume of records requested requires extensive use of information technology resources or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance, the District may charge, in addition to the duplication charge, a special service charge that is based on the cost the District incurs to produce the records requested. This charge may include, but is not limited to, the cost of information technology resource, employee labor, and fees charged to the District by consultants employed in fulfilling the request. In cases where the special service charge is based in whole or in part on the costs incurred by the District due to employee labor, consultant fees, or other forms of labor, those portions of the charge shall be calculated based on the lowest labor cost of the individual(s) who is/are qualified to perform the labor, taking into account the nature andor volume of the public records to be inspected or copied. The charge may include the labor costs of supervisory and/or clerical staff whose assistance is required to complete the records request, in accordance with Florida law. For purposes of this Rule, the word “extensive” shall mean that it will take more than 15 minutes to locate, review for confidential information, copy and re-file the requested material. In cases where extensive personnel time is determined by the District to be necessary to safeguard original records being inspected, the special service charge provided for in this section shall apply. If the total fees, including but not limited to special service charges, are anticipated to exceed twenty-five dollars ($25.00), then, prior to commencing work on the request, the District will inform the person making the public records request of the estimated cost, with the understanding that the final cost may vary from that estimate. If the person making the public records request decides to proceed with the request, payment of the estimated cost is required in advance. Should the person fail to pay the estimate, the District is under no duty to produce the requested records. After the request has been fulfilled, additional payments or credits may be
due. The District is under no duty to produce records in response to future records requests if the person making the request owes the District for past unpaid duplication charges, special service charges, or other required payments or credits.

Records Retention. The Secretary of the District shall be responsible for retaining
the District’s records in accordance with applicable Florida law.

Policies. The Board may adopt policies related to the conduct of its business and the provision of services either by resolution or motion.

Rule 3.1	Procedure Under the Consultants' Competitive Negotiations Act.

As used in this Rule, “Project” means that fixed capital outlay study or planning activity when basic construction cost is estimated by the District to exceed the threshold amount provided in Section 287.017 of the Florida Statutes, for CATEGORY FIVE, or for a planning study activity when the fee for Professional Services is estimated by the District to exceed the threshold amount provided in Section 287.017 for CATEGORY TWO, as such categories may be amended or adjusted from time to time.

Qualifying Procedures. In order to be eligible to provide Professional Services to the District, a consultant must, at the time of receipt of the firm’s qualification submittal:

Hold all required applicable state professional licenses in good standing;

Hold all required applicable federal licenses in good standing, if any;

Hold a current and active Florida corporate charter or be authorized to do business in the State of Florida in accordance with Chapter 607 of the Florida Statutes, if the consultant is a corporation; and

Meet any qualification requirements set forth in the District’s Request for
Qualifications.

Evidence of compliance with this Rule may be submitted with the qualifications, if requested by the District. In addition, evidence of compliance must be submitted any time requested by the District.

Public Announcement. Except in cases of valid public emergencies as certified by the Board, the District shall announce each occasion when Professional Services are required for a Project or a Continuing Contract by publishing a notice providing a general description of the Project, or the nature of the Continuing Contract, and the method for interested consultants to apply for consideration. The notice shall appear in at least one (1) newspaper of general circulation in the District and in such other places as the District deems appropriate. The notice must allow at least fourteen (14) days for submittal of qualifications from the date of publication. The District may maintain lists of consultants interested in receiving such notices. These consultants are encouraged to submit annually statements of qualifications and performance data. The District shall make reasonable efforts to provide copies of any notices to such consultants, but the failure to do so shall not give such consultants any bid protest or other rights or otherwise disqualify any otherwise valid procurement process.  The Board has the right to reject any and all
qualifications, and such reservation shall be included in the published notice. Consultants not receiving a contract award shall not be entitled to recover from the District any costs of qualification package preparation or submittal.

Competitive Selection.

The Board shall review and evaluate the data submitted in response to the notice described in section (3) of this Rule regarding qualifications and performance ability, as well as any statements of qualifications on file. The Board shall conduct discussions with, and may require public presentation by consultants regarding their qualifications, approach to the Project, and ability to furnish the required services. The Board shall then select and list the consultants, in order of preference, deemed to be the most highly capable and qualified to perform the required Professional Services, after considering these and other appropriate criteria:

The ability and adequacy of the professional personnel employed by each consultant;

Whether a consultant is a certified minority business enterprise;

Each consultant’s past performance;

The willingness of each consultant to meet time and budget requirements;

The geographic location of each consultant's headquarters, office and personnel in relation to the project;

The recent, current, and projected workloads of each consultant; and

The volume of work previously awarded to each consultant by the District.

Nothing in these Rules shall prevent the District from evaluating and eventually selecting a consultant if less than three (3) Responsive qualification packages, including packages indicating a desire not to provide Professional Services on a given Project, are received.

If the selection process is administered by any person or committee other than the full Board, the selection made will be presented to the full Board with a recommendation that competitive negotiations be instituted with the selected firms in order of preference listed.

Notice of the rankings adopted by the Board, including the rejection of some or all qualification packages, shall be provided in writing to all consultants
by United States Mail, hand delivery, emailelectronic mail, facsimile, or overnight delivery service. The notice shall include the following statement: "Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Rule 3.11 of the Rules of the District shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under those Rules," or wording to that effect. Protests of the District’s ranking decisions under this Rule shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 3.11.

Competitive Negotiation.

After the Board has authorized the beginning of competitive negotiations, the District may begin such negotiations with the firm listed as most qualified to perform the required Professional Services at a rate or amount of compensation which the Board determines is fair, competitive, and reasonable.

In negotiating a lump-sum or cost-plus-a-fixed-fee professional contract for more than the threshold amount provided in Section 287.017 of the Florida Statutes, for CATEGORY FOUR, the firm receiving the award shall be required to execute a truth-in-negotiation certificate stating that "wage rates and other factual unit costs supporting the compensation are accurate, complete and current at the time of contracting." In addition, any professional service contract under which such a certificate is required, shall contain a provision that "the original contract price and any additions thereto, shall be adjusted to exclude any significant sums by which the Board determines the contract price was increased due to inaccurate, incomplete, or noncurrent wage rates and other factual unit costs."

Should the District be unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with the firm determined to be the most qualified at a price deemed by the District to be fair, competitive, and reasonable, then negotiations with that firm shall be terminated and the District shall immediately begin negotiations with the second most qualified firm. If a satisfactory agreement with the second firm cannot be reached, those negotiations shall be terminated and negotiations with the third most qualified firm shall be undertaken.

Should the District be unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with one of the top three (3) ranked consultants, additional firms shall be selected by the District, in order of their competence and qualifications. Negotiations shall continue, beginning with the first-named firm on the list, until an agreement is reached or the list of firms is exhausted.

Contracts; Public Records. In accordance with Florida law, each contract entered into pursuant to this Rule shall include provisions required by law that require the contractor to comply with public records laws.
Continuing Contract. Nothing in this Rule shall prohibit a Continuing Contract between a consultant and the District.

Emergency Purchase. The District may make an Emergency Purchase without complying with these Rules. The fact that an Emergency Purchase has occurred or is necessary shall be noted in the minutes of the next Board meeting.

Rule 3.2	Procedure Regarding Auditor Selection.

In order to comply with the requirements of Section 218.391 of the Florida Statutes, the following procedures are outlined for selection of firms or individuals to provide Auditing Services and for the negotiation of such contracts. For audits required under Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes but not meeting the thresholds of Chapter 218 of the Florida Statutes, the District need not follow these procedures but may proceed with the selection of a firm or individual to provide Auditing Services and for the negotiation of such contracts in the manner the Board determines is in the best interests of the District.

Definitions.

"Auditing Services" means those services within the scope of the practice of a certified public accounting firm licensed under Chapter 473 of the Florida Statutes, and qualified to conduct audits in accordance with government auditing standards as adopted by the Florida Board of Accountancy.

"Committee" means the auditor selection committee appointed by the Board as described in section (2) of this Rule.

Establishment of Auditor Selection Committee. Prior to a public announcement under section (4) of this Rule that Auditing Services are required, the Board shall establish an auditor selection committee (“Committee”), the primary purpose of which is to assist the Board in selecting an auditor to conduct the annual financial audit required by Section 218.39 of the Florida Statutes. The Committee shall include at least three individuals, at least one of which must also be a member of the Board. The establishment and selection of the Committee must be conducted at a publicly noticed and held meeting of the Board. The Chairperson of the Committee must be a member of the Board. An employee, a chief executive officer, or a chief financial officer of the District may not serve as a member of the Committee; provided however such individual may serve the Committee in an advisory capacity.

Establishment of Minimum Qualifications and Evaluation Criteria. Prior to a public announcement under section (4) of this Rule that Auditing Services are required, the Committee shall meet at a publicly noticed meeting to establish minimum qualifications and factors to use for the evaluation of Auditing Services to be provided by a certified public accounting firm licensed under Chapter 473 of the Florida Statutes, and qualified to conduct audits in accordance with government auditing standards as adopted by the Florida Board of Accountancy.

Minimum Qualifications. In order to be eligible to submit a proposal, a firm must, at all relevant times including the time of receipt of the proposal by the District:
Hold all required applicable state professional licenses in good standing;

Hold all required applicable federal licenses in good standing, if any;

Hold a current and active Florida corporate charter or be authorized to do business in the State of Florida in accordance with Chapter 607 of the Florida Statutes, if the proposer is a corporation; and

Meet any pre-qualification requirements established by the Committee and set forth in the RFP or other specifications.

If requested in the RFP or other specifications, evidence of compliance with the minimum qualifications as established by the Committee must be submitted with the proposal.

Evaluation Criteria. The factors established for the evaluation of Auditing Services by the Committee shall include, but are not limited to:

Ability of personnel;

Experience;

Ability to furnish the required services; and

Such other factors as may be determined by the Committee to be applicable to its particular requirements.

The Committee may also choose to consider compensation as a factor. If the Committee establishes compensation as one of the factors, compensation shall not be the sole or predominant factor used to evaluate proposals.

Public Announcement. After identifying the factors to be used in evaluating the proposals for Auditing Services as set forth in section (3) of this Rule, the Committee shall publicly announce the opportunity to provide Auditing Services. Such public announcement shall include a brief description of the audit and how interested firms can apply for consideration and obtain the RFP. The notice shall appear in at least one (1) newspaper of general circulation in the District and the county in which the District is located. The public announcement shall allow for at least seven (7) days for the submission of proposals.

Request for Proposals. The Committee shall provide interested firms with a Request for Proposals (“RFP”). The RFP shall provide information on how proposals are to be evaluated and such other information the Committee determines is necessary for the firm to prepare a proposal. The RFP shall state the time and
place for submitting proposals.

Committee’s Evaluation of Proposals and Recommendation. The Committee shall meet at a publicly held meeting that is publicly noticed at least seven (7) daysfor a reasonable time in advance of the meeting to evaluate all qualified proposals and may, as part of the evaluation, require that each interested firm provide a public presentation where the Committee may conduct discussions with the firm, and where the firm may present information, regarding the firm’s qualifications. At the public meeting, the Committee shall rank and recommend in order of preference no fewer than three firms deemed to be the most highly qualified to perform the required services after considering the factors established pursuant to subsection (3)(b) of this Rule. If fewer than three firms respond to the RFP or if no firms respond to the RFP, the Committee shall recommend such firm as it deems to be the most highly qualified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may recommend that any and all proposals be rejected.

Board Selection of Auditor.

Where compensation was not selected as a factor used in evaluating the proposals, the Board shall negotiate with the firm ranked first and inquire of that firm as to the basis of compensation. If the Board is unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with the first ranked firm at a price deemed by the Board to be fair, competitive, and reasonable, then negotiations with that firm shall be terminated and the Board shall immediately begin negotiations with the second ranked firm. If a satisfactory agreement with the second ranked firm cannot be reached, those negotiations shall be terminated and negotiations with the third ranked firm shall be undertaken. The Board may reopen formal negotiations with any one of the three top-ranked firms, but it may not negotiate with more than one firm at a time. If the Board is unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with any of the selected firms, the Committee shall recommend additional firms in order of the firms’ respective competence and qualifications. Negotiations shall continue, beginning with the first-named firm on the list, until an agreement is reached or the list of firms is exhausted.

Where compensation was selected as a factor used in evaluating the proposals, the Board shall select the highest-ranked qualified firm or document in its public records the reason for not selecting the highest- ranked qualified firm.

In negotiations with firms under this Rule, the Board may allow the District Manager, District Counsel, or other designee to conduct negotiations on its behalf.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may reject any or all proposals. The Board shall not consider any proposal, or enter into any contract for Auditing Services, unless the proposed agreed-upon compensation is reasonable to satisfy the requirements of Section 218.39 of the Florida Statutes, and the needs of the District.

Contract. Any agreement reached under this Rule shall be evidenced by a written contract, which may take the form of an engagement letter signed and executed by both parties. The written contract shall include all provisions and conditions of the procurement of such services and shall include, at a minimum, the following:

A provision specifying the services to be provided and fees or other compensation for such services;

A provision requiring that invoices for fees or other compensation be submitted in sufficient detail to demonstrate compliance with the terms of the contract;

A provision specifying the contract period, including renewals, and conditions under which the contract may be terminated or renewed. The maximum contract period including renewals shall be five (5) years. A renewal may be done without the use of the auditor selection procedures provided in this Rule but must be in writing.

Provisions required by law that require the auditor to comply with public records laws.

Notice of Award. Once a negotiated agreement with a firm or individual is reached, or the Board authorizes the execution of an agreement with a firm where compensation was a factor in the evaluation of proposals, notice of the intent to award, including the rejection of some or all proposals, shall be provided in writing to all proposers by United States Mail, hand delivery, electronic mail, facsimile, or overnight delivery service. The notice shall include the following statement: "Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Rule 3.11 of the Rules of the District shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under those Rules," or wording to that effect.

The purchases of life, health, accident, hospitalization, legal expense, or annuity insurance, or all of any kinds of such insurance for the officers and employees of the District, and for health, accident, hospitalization, and legal expenses upon a group insurance plan by the District, shall be governed by this Rule. This Rule does not apply to the purchase of any other type of insurance by the District, including but not limited to liability insurance, property insurance, and directors and officers insurance.

The Board shall cause to be prepared a Notice of Invitation to Bid.

Notice of the Invitation to Bid shall be advertised at least once in a newspaper of general circulation within the District. The notice shall allow at least fourteen (14) days for submittal of bids.

The District may maintain a list of persons interested in receiving notices of Invitations to Bid. The District shall make reasonable efforts to provide copies of any notices to such persons, but the failure to do so shall not give such consultants any bid protest or other rights or otherwise disqualify any otherwise valid procurement process.

Bids shall be opened at the time and place noted in the Invitation to Bid.

If only one (1) response to an Invitation is received, the District may proceed with the purchase. If no response to an Invitation to Bid is received, the District may take whatever steps are reasonably necessary in order to proceed with the purchase.

The Board has the right to reject any and all bids and such reservations shall be included in all solicitations and advertisements.

Simultaneously with the review of the submitted bids, the District may undertake negotiations with those companies that have submitted reasonable and timely bids and, in the opinion of the District, are fully qualified and capable of meeting all services and requirements. Bid responses shall be evaluated in accordance with the specifications and criteria contained in the Invitation to Bid; in addition, the total cost to the District, the cost, if any, to the District officers, employees, or their dependents, relevant business presence and capability to servicethe geographic location of the company’s headquarters and offices in relation to the District's needs, and the ability of the company to guarantee premium
stability may be considered. A contract to purchase insurance shall be awarded to that company whose response to the Invitation to Bid best meets the overall needs of the District, its officers, employees, and/or dependents.

Notice of the intent to award, including rejection of some or all bids, shall be provided in writing to all bidders by United States Mail, by hand delivery, or by overnight delivery service. The notice shall include the following statement: "Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Rule 3.11 of the Rules of the District shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under those Rules," or wording to that effect.

Rule 3.4	Pre-qualification

Scope. In its discretion, the District may undertake a pre-qualification process in accordance with this Rule for vendors to provide construction services, goods, supplies, and materials, Contractual Services, and maintenance services.

Procedure. When the District seeks to pre-qualify vendors, the following procedures shall apply:

The Board shall cause to be prepared a Request for Qualifications.

For construction services exceeding the thresholds described in Section
255.20 of the Florida Statutes, the Board must advertise the proposed prequalification criteria and procedures and allow at least seven (7) days’ notice of the public hearing for comments on such pre-qualification criteria and procedures. At such public hearing, potential vendors may object to such pre-qualification criteria and procedures. Following such public hearing, the Board shall formally adopt pre-qualification criteria and procedures prior to the advertisement of the Request for Qualifications for construction services.

The Request for Qualifications shall be advertised at least once in a newspaper of general circulation within the District and within the county in which the District is located. The notice shall allow at least seven (7) days for submittal of qualifications for goods, supplies and materials, Contractual Services, maintenance services, and construction services under two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000). The notice shall allow at least twenty-one (21) days for submittal of qualifications for construction services estimated to cost over two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) and thirty (30) days for construction services estimated to cost over five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000).

The District may maintain lists of persons interested in receiving notices of Requests for Qualifications. The District shall make a good faith effort to provide written notice, by electronic mail, United States Mail, or hand delivery, or facsimile, to persons who provide their name and address to the District Manager for inclusion on the list. However, failure of a person to receive the notice shall not invalidate any pre-qualification determination or contract awarded in accordance with these Rules and shall not be a basis for a protest of any pre-qualification determination or contract award.

If the District has pre-qualified vendors for a particular category of purchase, at the option of the District, only those persons who have been pre-qualified will be eligible to submit bids, proposals, replies or responses in response to the applicable Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation.
In order to be eligible to submit qualifications, a firm or individual must, at the time of receipt of the qualifications:

Hold all required applicable state professional licenses in good standing;

Hold all required applicable federal licenses in good standing, if any;

Hold a current and active Florida corporate charter or be authorized to do business in the State of Florida in accordance with Chapter 607 of the Florida Statutes, if the vendor is a corporation; and

Meet any special pre-qualification requirements set forth in the Request for Qualifications.

Evidence of compliance with these Rules must be submitted with the qualifications if required by the District. Failure to submit evidence of compliance when required may be grounds for rejection of the qualifications.

Qualifications shall be presented to the Board, or a committee appointed by the Board, for evaluation in accordance with the Request for Qualifications and this Rule. Minor variations in the qualifications may be waived by the Board. A variation is minor if waiver of the variation does not create a competitive advantage or disadvantage of a material nature.

All vendors determined by the District to meet the pre-qualification requirements shall be pre-qualified. To assure full understanding of the responsiveness to the requirements contained in a Request for Qualifications, discussions may be conducted with qualified vendors. Vendors shall be accorded fair treatment prior to the submittal date with respect to any opportunity for discussion and revision of qualifications. For construction services, any contractor pre-qualified and considered eligible by the Department of Transportation to bid to perform the type of work the project entails shall be presumed to be qualified to perform the project.

The Board shall have the right to reject all qualifications if there are not enough to be competitive or if rejection is determined to be in the best interest of the District. No vendor shall be entitled to recover any costs of qualification preparation or submittal from the District.

Notice of intent to pre-qualify, including rejection of some or all qualifications, shall be provided in writing to all vendors by United States Mail, electronic mail, hand delivery, facsimile, or overnight delivery service. The notice
shall include the following statement: "Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Rule 3.11 of the Rules of the District shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under those Rules," or wording to that effect. Protests of the District’s pre-qualification decisions under this Rule shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 3.11; provided however, protests related to the pre- qualification criteria and procedures for construction services shall be resolved in accordance with section (2)(b) of this Rule and Section 255.20(1)(b) of the Florida Statutes.

Suspension, Revocation, or Denial of Qualification
The District, for good cause, may deny, suspend, or revoke a prequalified vendor’s pre-qualified status. A suspension, revocation, or denial for good cause shall prohibit the vendor from bidding on any District construction contract for which qualification is required, shall constitute a determination of non-responsibility to bid on any other District construction or maintenance contract, and shall prohibit the vendor from acting as a material supplier or subcontractor on any District contract or project during the period of suspension, revocation, or denial. Good cause shall include the following:
One of the circumstances specified under Section 337.16(2), Florida Statutes, has occurred.
Affiliated contractors submitted more than one proposal for the same work. In this event the pre-qualified status of all of the affiliated bidders will be revoked, suspended, or denied. All bids of affiliated bidders will be rejected.
The vendor made or submitted false, deceptive, or fraudulent statements, certifications, or materials in any claim for payment or any information required by any District contract.
The vendor or its affiliate defaulted on any contract or a contract surety assumed control of financial responsibility for any contract of the vendor.
The vendor’s qualification to bid is suspended, revoked, or denied by any other public or semi-public entity, or the vendor has been the subject of a civil enforcement proceeding or settlement involving a public or semi-public entity.
The vendor failed to comply with contract or warranty requirements or failed to follow District direction in the performance of a contract.
The vendor failed to timely furnish all contract documents required by the contract specifications, special provisions, or by any state or federal statutes or regulations. If the vendor fails to furnish any of the subject contract documents by the expiration of the period of suspension,
revocation, or denial set forth above, the vendor’s pre-qualified status shall remain suspended, revoked, or denied until the documents are furnished.
The vendor failed to notify the District within 10 days of the vendor, or any of its affiliates, being declared in default or otherwise not completing work on a contract or being suspended from qualification to bid or denied qualification to bid by any other public or semi-public agency.
The vendor did not pay its subcontractors or suppliers in a timely manner or in compliance with contract documents.
The vendor has demonstrated instances of poor or unsatisfactory performance, deficient management resulting in project delay, poor quality workmanship, a history of payment of liquidated damages, untimely completion of projects, uncooperative attitude, contract litigation, inflated claims or defaults.
An affiliate of the vendor has previously been determined by the District to be non-responsible, and the specified period of suspension, revocation, denial, or non-responsibility remains in effect.
The vendor or affiliate(s) has been convicted of a contract crime.
The term “contract crime” means any violation of state or federal antitrust laws with respect to a public contract or any violation of any state or federal law involving fraud, bribery, collusion, conspiracy, or material misrepresentation with respect to a public contract.
The term “convicted” or “conviction” means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a contract crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in any federal or state trial court of record as a result of a jury verdict, nonjury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere.
Any other circumstance constituting “good cause” under Section
337.16(2), Florida Statutes, exists.
The pre-qualified status of a contractor found delinquent under Section 337.16(1), Florida Statutes, shall be denied, suspended, or revoked. A denial, suspension, or revocation shall prohibit the vendor from being a subcontractor on District work during the period of denial, suspension, or revocation, except when a prime contractor’s bid has used prices of a subcontractor who becomes disqualified after the bid, but before the request for authorization to sublet is presented.
The District shall inform the vendor in writing of its intent to deny, suspend, or revoke its pre-qualified status and inform the vendor of its right to a hearing, the procedure which must be followed, and the applicable time limits. If a hearing is requested within ten (10) days after the receipt of the notice of intent, the hearing shall be held within thirty (30) days after receipt by the District of the request for the hearing. The decision shall be issued in writing within fifteen
(15) business days after the hearing.
Such suspension or revocation shall not affect the vendor’s obligations under
any preexisting contract.
If a contractor’s pre-qualified status is revoked, suspended, or denied and the contractor receives an additional period of revocation, suspension, or denial of its pre-qualified status, the time periods will run consecutively.
In the case of contract crimes, the vendor’s pre-qualified status under this Rule shall be revoked indefinitely. For all violations of Rule 3.4(3)(a) other than for the vendor’s conviction for contract crimes, the revocation, denial, or suspension of a vendor’s pre-qualified status under this Rule shall be for a specific period of time based on the seriousness of the deficiency.
Examples of factors affecting the seriousness of a deficiency are:
Impacts on project schedule, cost, or quality of work;
Unsafe conditions allowed to exist;
Complaints from the public;
Delay or interference with the bidding process;
The potential for repetition;
Integrity of the public contracting process;
Effect on the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
The District shall deny or revoke the pre-qualified status of any contractor and its affiliates for a period of 36 months when it is determined by the District that the contractor has, subsequent to January 1, 1978, been convicted of a contract crime within the jurisdiction of any state or federal court. Any such contractor shall not act as a prime contractor, material supplier, subcontractor, or consultant on any District contract or project during the period of denial or revocation.
Reapplication and Reinstatement
A contractor whose qualification to bid has been revoked or denied because of
contract crime may, at any time after revocation or denial, file a petition for reapplication or reinstatement. However, a contractor may not petition for reapplication or reinstatement for a period of 24 months after revocation or denial for a subsequent conviction occurring within 10 years of a previous denial or revocation for contract crime.

If the petition for reapplication or reinstatement is denied, the contractor cannot petition for a subsequent hearing for a period of nine months following the date of the final order of revocation or denial.

If the petition for reapplication or reinstatement is granted, the contractor must file a current Application for Qualification with the Contracts Administration Office. Reinstatement shall not be effective until issuance of a Certificate of Qualification.

Emergency Suspension and Revocation

The District may summarily issue an emergency suspension of a contractor’s qualification to bid if it finds that imminent danger exists to the public health, safety, or welfare.

The written notice of emergency suspension shall state the specific facts and reasons for finding an imminent danger to the public health, safety, or welfare exists.

The District, within 10 days of the emergency suspension, shall initiate formal suspension or revocation proceedings in compliance with Rule 3.4(3), except the 10-day notice requirement shall not be construed to prevent a hearing at the earliest time practicable upon request of the aggrieved party.

All contracts for the construction or improvement of any building, structure, or other public construction works authorized by Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes, the costs of which are estimated by the District in accordance with generally accepted cost accounting principles to be in excess of the threshold amount for applicability of Section 255.20 of the Florida Statutes, as that amount may be indexed or amended from time to time, shall be let under the terms of these Rules and the procedures of Section 255.20 of the Florida Statutes, as the same may be amended from time to time. A project shall not be divided solely to avoid the threshold bidding requirements.

Procedure. When a purchase of construction services is within the scope of this Rule, the following procedures shall apply:

If the Board has previously pre-qualified contractors pursuant to Rule 3.4 and determined that only the contractors that have been pre-qualified will be permitted to submit bids, proposals, replies, and responses, the Notice of Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation need not be published. Instead, the Notice of Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation shall be sent to the pre-qualified contractors by United States Mail, electronic mail, hand delivery, facsimile, or overnight delivery service.

The District may maintain lists of persons interested in receiving notices of Invitations to Bid, Requests for Proposals, Invitations to Negotiate, and Competitive Solicitations. The District shall make a good faith effort to provide written notice, by electronic mail, United States Mail, or hand delivery, or facsimile, to persons who provide their name and address to the District Manager for inclusion on the list. However, failure of a person to receive the notice shall not invalidate any contract awarded in accordance with this Rule and shall not be a basis for a protest of any contract award.
If the District has pre-qualified providers of construction services, then, at the option of the District, only those persons who have been pre-qualified will be eligible to submit bids, proposals, replies, or responses to Invitations to Bid, Requests for Proposals, Invitations to Negotiate, and Competitive Solicitations.

Minor variations in the bids,
proposals, replies, or responses may be waived by the Board. A variation is minor if waiver of the variation does not create a competitive advantage or disadvantage of a material nature. Mistakes in arithmetic extension of pricing may be corrected by the Board, provided such corrections do not result in a material change to the bid amount or create an unfair advantage. Bids and proposals may not be modified or supplemented after opening; provided however, additional information may be requested and/or provided to evidence compliance, make non-material modifications, clarifications, or supplementations, and as otherwise permitted by Florida law.

[Wind Meadows South] LANDSCAPE SCOPE OF WORK
The work for the landscape maintenance is to include the furnishing of all labor, materials, equipment, accessories, and services necessary or incidental to meet the requirements outlined in this scope below. The intention is to sustain all turf and plant materials in a healthy, vigorous growing condition, free from weeds, diseases, insects, and nutritional deficiencies as well as a completely operational irrigation system. All associated planted areas are to be kept in a continuous healthy, neat, clean and debris free condition for the entire life of the contract. The below scope is divided into “elements” to define the elements involved and required in the maintenance of the property.
General Services- Component “A”
Turf Maintenance
Turf maintenance is defined as all mowing, edging, trimming and cleanup of lawn areas. High traffic and high-profile areas such as the entrances and Amenity/clubhouse areas will be completely mowed, edged, trimmed and cleaned up prior to normal business hours of operation. In the event it becomes necessary to make a change in the mowing schedule for any reason, the CDD Management must be notified prior to adjustment of schedule. Mowing during inclement weather will not alleviate the contractor of responsibility for damage caused by the mowing of wet areas.

Mowing
Prior to mowing, remove and dispose of normal litter and debris from all landscape areas. Contractor will not run over litter with mowers.
Irrigated common area turf of all turf types (St Augustine, Zoysia, Bermuda, Irrigated Bahia) shall be mowed weekly during the growing season from April 1st through September 30th and bi-weekly during the winter season. It is understood that the contractor may be required to periodically add or delete mowing cycles based on weather or other factors with the consent of the CDD Management. Contractor should anticipate 42 mows annually for all common areas. Unirrigated bahia and pond areas and banks will be mowed 32 times annually as needed.

St. Augustine, zoysia and Bahia turf shall be cut with rotary mowers to maintain a uniform height. Bahia will be cut between 3.5” and 4.5”. St Augustine will be cut between 4.5” and 5.5”. Mowing heights will be set at 2”–3” for Zoysia turf. Bermuda turf shall be cut at a height of no more than 2.5”. Mowing blades shall be kept sufficiently sharp and properly adjusted to provide a cleanly cut grass blade.
Variation in the mowing pattern shall be carried out when possible so as to not rut or cause paths.

Mowing of all ponds or wetland buffer areas shall be done with a 50” mower or larger discharging clippings away from the water. Any pond edges that cannot be reached with the full size mower will be string trimmed every other mow cycle at minimum. Additional pond edge string trimming can be requested as needed to maintain an intended look as per the discretion of CDD management.

Visible clippings that may be left following mowing operations shall be removed from the site each visit. Discharging grass clippings into beds, tree rings or maintenance strips is prohibited and if it occurs they shall be removed prior to the end of each service day.
[Wind Meadows South] | GMS 2025

Contractor will take special care to prevent damage to plant material as a result of the mowing. Contractor is responsible for damages they cause while mowing.
Edging
Sidewalks, curbs, and concrete slabs, and other paved surfaces will be edged in conjunction with mowing operations each time. Beds, tree rings, and other landscape edges will be edged once during each detail rotation, every three weeks. Edging is defined as removal of unwanted turf and vegetation along the above borders by use of a mechanical edger. String trimmers are not to be used for edging and a proper edger will be used. Care will be taken to maintain bed edges as designed in either straight or curvilinear lines.

String Trimming

String Trimming shall be performed around road signs, guard posts, trees, shrubs, utility poles, and other obstacles where mowers cannot reach. Grass shall be trimmed to the same desired height as determined by the turf height specifications. String trimming shall be completed with each mowing cycle.

Maintaining grass-free areas by use of chemicals may be the preferred method in certain applications. Such use will only be done with prior approval of the CDD management.
Turf around the edge of all waterways shall be mowed or string trimmed to the natural water’s edge
during every other mowing cycle at minimum.
For the protection of private property, landscapers will not perform string trimming in a manner that results in direct contact with private fences. A buffer zone of approximately 4 to 6 inches will be maintained along all private fencing. The maintenance of any grass or vegetation within this buffer area will be the responsibility of the respective property owner.

Blowing
When using mechanical blowers to clean curbs, sidewalks and other paved surfaces, care must be taken to prevent blowing grass clippings into beds, onto vehicles or onto other hardscape surfaces. In addition, care also must be taken to not disrupt mulch from beds and any mulch blown out of beds must be placed back and raked smooth.

Damage Prevention/Repair
Special care shall be taken to protect building foundations, fencing, light poles, sign posts, monuments and other hardscape elements from mowing, edging or string trimming equipment damage. Contractor will agree to have repairs made by specialized contractors or reimburse the CDD or homeowners within 30 days for any damage to property caused by their crew members or equipment.

Detailing
Detailing of planted areas will be performed weekly in a sectional method, each section representing one-third of the entire property. Based on three sections, the contractor will completely detail the entire property once every three weeks at least. The exception will be the entrances, clubhouse
[Wind Meadows South] | GMS 2025

areas and any other high profile or focal areas which should be tended to each week the crew is onsite. The detailing process will include trimming, pruning and shaping of all shrubbery, ornamental trees and groundcover, removal of tree suckers, structural pruning or cutbacks of select varieties of plant material and ornamental grasses as directed, as well as the defining of bed lines, tree saucers and the removal of all unwanted vegetation. A detail crew will be onsite at least one day per week 52 times per year to accomplish the full amount of detail rotations. The size and duration the detail crew is onsite should depend on the extent needed to accomplish the rotation.
Pruning

Prune trees, shrubs and groundcovers to encourage healthy growth and create a natural appearance. Prune to control the new plant growth, maintain the desired plant shape and remove dead, damaged, or diseased portions of the plant.
Use only hand pruners or loppers on trees and shrubs, particularly groundcover Juniper varieties. Hand shears or Topiary shears will be the preferred method of trimming most formal shrubs. Only use power shears on formal hedges where previous practice was to shear, or as directed by the CDD management.

Pruning of trees up to a height of 12 feet and palms up to 15’ is included in the scope of the work. If pruning is required above the height of 12 feet for non palms, contractor shall propose an extra service to the CDD representative and acquire approval prior to performing the work. Palm pruning of palms over 15’ is defined in Component E.3.

The branching height of trees shall be raised only for the following reasons:
Provide clearance for pedestrians, vehicles, mowers and buildings. Minimum 8ft of clearance is required along all walkways and parking areas.
Maintain clearance from shrubs in bed areas.
Improve visibility in parking lots and around entries. Extra care should be taken when considering sight lines on the road and the vendor should report any identified visibility concerns to CDD management.
Prune trees to remove weak branching patterns and provide corrective pruning for proper development. Cut back to the branch collar without leaving stubs. Provide clean and flush cut with no tearing of the tree bark.
Prune to contain perimeter growth within intended bed areas. Established groundcover shall be maintained 4” to 6” away from adjacent hardscape and turf. Bevel or roll leading edges to avoid creating a harsh boxed look. Mature groundcover shall be maintained at a consistent, level height to provide a smooth and even appearance and separation from adjacent plant material.
Structural pruning will be required for several varieties of plants bi-annually, annually or semi- annually to maintain their scale and performance within the landscape. The methodology employed is to structurally prune one plant group throughout the entire property during the sectional detail rotation. All needed structural pruning will be done once per year at minimum. All Ornamental Grasses are to be haystack cut one time per year.

Crepe Myrtles are to be trimmed once per year in the winter months. Trimming should include removal of old blooms, sucker growth and any cross branching. Trimming should be done in such a way that cuts are no less than 12” away from previous year’s cuts.
[Wind Meadows South] | GMS 2025

Pruning of all palms less than 15’ in height will be included in the sectional rotation. Pruning consists of
removal of all dead fronds, seedpods, and any loose boots.
Weed Control

Bed areas are to be left in a weed free condition after each detail service. While pre and post- emergent chemicals are acceptable means of control, weeds in bed areas larger than 3” shall be pulled by hand or string trimmed.
Hardscape cracks and expansion joints are to be sprayed in conjunction with the detail cycle to control weeds. Chemical practices shall not be a substitute for hand weeding where the latter is required.
For the protection of private property, landscapers will not perform chemical edging in a manner that results in direct contact with private fences or along private fences. A buffer zone of approximately 4 to 6 inches will be maintained along all private fencing. The maintenance of any grass or vegetation within this buffer area will be the responsibility of the respective property owner.

Trash Removal
Removing trash from all landscape areas will be the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor will remove trash from all focal areas, including medians, around amenity areas, and monuments every visit. Other trash will be removed during normal detail rotations.
Policing
Contractor will police the grounds during each service visit to remove trash, debris and fallen tree litter as needed prior to mowing and edging. Contractor is not responsible for removal of excessive storm debris which would be performed with prior approval with a supplemental proposal.
As needed, the contractor will dedicate supplemental personnel and specialized equipment to the removal of seasonal leaf drop from all landscape and hardscape areas during the months of November through April.
All litter shall be removed from the property and disposed of off-site.

Communication
Daily, the contractor will communicate with the CDD representative for any landscape issues requiring immediate attention.

Communication is of the utmost importance. The contractor will provide a weekly written report in a form approved by the CDD representative which highlights the main aspects of the previous week’s maintenance activities. This can just be a checklist sent via email on Fridays or Mondays.
When requested by CDD management, the contractor will provide a Monthly Service Calendar for the upcoming period. A copy of the preceding month’s Irrigation Maintenance report and Lawn and Ornamental Fertilization report will be provided monthly. A copy of these documents should be submitted to the CDD representative by the 5th of each month electronically, or in person. This is only necessary should management request, likely due to performance concerns, however the vendor should always have them should management request.
[Wind Meadows South] | GMS 2025

Contractor agrees to take part in regular weekly, bi-weekly or monthly inspections, as decided by CDD management, of the property to ensure their performance is satisfactory. Contractor also agrees to complete any work that appears on punch lists resulting from inspections or reviews within three weeks of receiving them. Contractor will have their Account Manager participate on its behalf and have their Lawn and Ornamental and Irrigation Managers or Technicians available for inspection meetings as needed or requested by CDD management.

Staffing
The Contractor shall have a well-experienced Foreman/Supervisor supervising all work onsite. This person should have knowledge of horticultural practices and be capable of properly supervising others. The Foreman/Supervisor should communicate regularly, daily when needed, with CDD management. Further, In order to maintain continuity, the same Foreman/Supervisor shall direct the scheduled maintenance operations throughout the year. Any anticipated changes in supervisory personnel shall be brought to the attention of the CDD representative prior to any such change. The intent is for maintenance personnel to familiarize themselves with the site.
The crew members should be properly trained to carry out their assigned task and should work in a safe professional manner. Each crew member should be in full uniform at all times.
Contractor is expected to staff the property with trained personnel experienced in commercial landscape maintenance. All personnel applying fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides must be certified by the state of FL. These individuals should be Best Management Practices Certified and hold a Limited Certification for Urban Landscape Commercial Fertilizer or a Certified Pest Control Operator or an employee with an ID card working under the supervision of a CPCO.
Contractor agrees to screen all crew members for criminal background. Also, contractor agrees to follow all INS guidelines for hiring and to maintain an I-9 and other required documents on each employee.

Holidays observed that do not require staffing include New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, and any other day agreed to by CDD Management. Normal working hours are from 7:00 AM until 7:00 PM. No power equipment will be operated near homes before 9:00 AM. Efforts will be made such that ALL work performed around the Amenity Areas and pool area is to be completed prior to busy attendance hours. Saturdays will be made available for makeup work due to inclement weather from 8:00 AM until 5 PM.
Component “B” – Turf Care Program - Fertilization and Pest Control

- Bed Dressing
Application of designated mulching to community bed spaces.

Schedule
Mulching will be carried out at least once per year. However in many cases the mulch application will be divided into one heavy application in Spring and one lighter application in the fall. The most desirable months are May and Early November. Mulch will be priced “per yard”. Application will be completed within a two-week time period.
Installation
Prior to application, areas will be prepared by removing all foreign debris and establishing a defined, uniform edge to all bed and tree rings as well as a 1” to 2” deep trench along all hardscape surfaces to include equipment pads, in order to hold the mulch in place. Bed dressing should be installed in weed free beds that have been properly edged and prepared.

Bed Dressing should be installed to maintain a 2” thickness in all bed areas, including tree rings in lawn areas and maintenance strips unless otherwise directed by the CDD representative. Some areas will require more mulch than others. Focal areas are to be prioritized. If at any point the application does not allow enough yards to maintain 2-inch depth across beds, then an additional proposal will be created by the contractor for the additional needed yards.

- Palm Trimming Schedule
Specimen Date Palms such as Phoenix varieties (i.e. Dactylifera, Sylvester, Senegal Date,etc.) in excess of 15’ will be trimmed at least once per year in May. All vegetation will be removed from their trunk. Any palm nuts and loose or excessive boots will be removed and/or cross cut during this process. Contractor will monitor for disease and recommend treatment if necessary. Full debooting is a separate billable job but removing those loose and hanging should be included.

All palms less than 15’ will be trimmed as needed by the detail crew during the regular detail rotation as
outlined in General Services.

All palms in excess 15’ will be trimmed at least once per year in the month of May. Any additional trimmings can be added at the discretion of the board or management and will be done at the same cost and rate as the proposed May trimming. Therefore, the fee summary must include the cost per palm for trimming.

Trimming shall include removal of all dead fronds, loose boots and seed stalks.

Trim palms so that the lowest remaining fronds are left at a ten and two o’clock profile or nine and three o’clock at the discretion of management. “Hurricane” cuts are only to be done at the direction of the CDD representative.
When trimming, cut the frond close to the trunk without leaving “stubs”.

It is imperative that the contractor use clean and sanitized tools, sanitizing their tools thoroughly from tree to tree.

PROPOSAL
Scope of Services
Turf Care
Mowing
Rotary lawn mowers will be used with suﬃcient power to leave a neat, clean, and uncluttered appearance 42 times per calendar year (Floratam) and 42 times per calendar year (Bahia) depending on growing season and conditions. It is anticipated that mowing services shall be provided weekly during the growing season April through October and every other week during the non-growing season or as needed November through March.

Bahia lake and pond banks will be mowed 30 times per year consistent with 3 times per month May through October and 2 times per month or as needed November through April.

Trimming
Turf areas inaccessible to mowers, areas adjacent to buildings, trees, fences, etc. will be controlled by a string trimmer. When string trimming, a continuous cutting height will be maintained to prevent scalping.

Edging
All turf edges of walks, curbs, and driveways shall be performed every mowing (42 times per year). A soft edge of all bed areas will be performed every other mowing (21 times per year). A power edger will be used for this purpose. A string trimmer may be used only in areas not accessible to a power edger.

Weed, Insect, & Disease Control
Post-Emergent weed applications will be performed up to 4 times  per year between April 1st and October 30th. Pre-Emergent herbicides will be used 2 times per year speciﬁcally targeting diﬃcult to control weeds. Weed control applications are conducive to soil and air temperatures. Floralawn will not be held responsible for the post emergent control of common grassy weeds like Crabgrass, Tropical Signal & Bermuda grass. Due to the absence of legal and selective post emergent herbicides for this use.

Insect & disease control measures are incorporated into each fertilization application. Infestations will be treated on an as needed basis throughout the year and the customer will be made aware of the actions taken as well as the chemicals used. Ant mounds can be treated as they appear, at an additional cost, using products like Bayer's Top Choice that offer extended control..

.
Tree, Shrub, and Groundcover Care
Pruning
All shrubs and trees (up to 10 feet) shall be pruned and shaped a maximum of 10 times per year to ensure the following:

Maintain all sidewalks to eliminate any overhanging branches or foliage which obstructs and/or hinders pedestrian or motor traﬃc.
Retain the individual plant's natural form and prune to eliminate branches which are rubbing against walls and roofs.
The removal of dead, diseased, or injured branches and palm fronds will be performed as needed up to 12 feet in height.
Ground covers and vines can maintain a neat and uniform appearance.

Weeding
Weeds will be removed from all plant, tree, and ﬂower beds 18 times per year. This incorporates 2 times per month during the growing season and  1 time per month during the non-growing season on an as-needed basis. Mechanical or chemical herbicides will be used as control methods. Mechanical weed removal will only be used when chemical applications are not applicable.

Fertilization
Palms and hardwood trees will be fertilized 2 times per year. Shrubs and groundcovers will be fertilized 4 times per year. All fertilizations of tree, shrub, and groundcovers will be designed to address site speciﬁc nutritional needs. Timing of applications will be adjusted to meet horticultural conditions.

Insect, & Disease Control
All landscape beds shall be monitored and treated with appropriate pesticides as needed throughout the contract period. Plants will be monitored and issues addressed as necessary to effectively control insect infestation and disease as environmental, horticultural, and weather conditions permit. FloraLawn does not guarantee the complete absence of any insect or disease. We will, however, notify the customer and provide professional options at an additional cost outside the scope of this contract.

Irrigation
Overview
At the commencement of the contract, we will perform a complete irrigation evaluation and furnish the customer with a summary of each clock and zone operation. FloraLawn will submit recommendations for all necessary repairs and improvements to the system with an itemized cost for completing the proposed work. FloraLawn is not responsible for turf or plant loss due to water restrictions set by city, county, and/or water management district ordinances.

Inspections
All irrigation zones shall be inspected 1 time per month to insure proper operation. All zones will be turned on to check for proper coverage and any broken irrigation components. Management shall receive a monitoring report after each monthly irrigation inspection.

Repairs
Any repairs that have been caused by FloraLawn will be repaired at no cost. All repairs to the irrigation system other than those caused by FloraLawn will be performed on a time and materials basis with the hourly labor rate being  $80.00 per hour. Faults and failures of the irrigation system communicated to Floralawn will be addressed in a fair and responsible time period, but FloraLawn cannot guarantee a speciﬁc time response.
Miscellaneous
Clean-Up
All non-turf areas will be cleaned with a backpack or street blower to remove debris created by the landscaping process. All trash shall be picked up throughout the common areas before each mowing 42 times per year. Construction debris or similar trash is not included. Trash shall be disposed of offsite.
