Community Urban Agriculture Program

The City of St. Petersburg, through its Public Works Administration, has issued Request for Information RFI- 26 - 339 for the Community Urban Agriculture Program. This initiative seeks to gather detailed information from organizations capable of designing, installing, enhancing, and maintaining community gardens and food forests throughout the city. The primary objective is to assess service capabilities, understand typical cost structures and drivers, and identify potential risks or barriers to inform the development of a future competitive solicitation. This is an informational request and does not constitute a formal contract award or obligate the city to issue a future solicitation. Interested respondents must submit their responses as a single PDF file via the OpenGov Procurement portal by November 17, 2026, at 3:00 pm. Required information includes an organizational history, a detailed description of urban agriculture and environmental stewardship capabilities, high-level cost ranges, and recommended contract structures regarding seasonal maintenance and plant establishment. Additionally, vendors must certify their registration with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations. Primary points of contact for this effort are Sustainability and Resilience Supervisor Nicole Schaneville and Procurement Analyst Gabriella Greiner.
