Invasive Species Management Services

The City of Raleigh’s Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources Department is initiating a solicitation to establish a pre-approved vendor list for invasive species management services under solicitation number 274-PRCR-NR-Invasives-MSA-2. This contract will engage multiple qualified vendors to deliver vegetation control, replanting, and natural resource management services across city-owned lands, with a focus on removing and controlling invasive terrestrial and aquatic plant species, installing native plant materials through planting and seeding, and conducting ecological surveys and monitoring. The services are intended to support long-term ecological health and land stewardship within Raleigh’s public parks and natural areas. Proposals must be submitted by the deadline of July 15, 2026, and responses will be evaluated to identify vendors capable of responding flexibly to varied project scopes as they arise. The contract does not guarantee immediate work but establishes a framework for future task orders issued on an as-needed basis. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Nikolai Merza, and all activities are scoped to occur within North Carolina, under the jurisdiction of the City of Raleigh. Vendors selected will be expected to adhere to local environmental standards and demonstrate expertise in native ecosystem restoration and invasive species mitigation.
