Carl Kallicharan

Carl Kallicharan serves as Landscape Superintendent for the City of Dania Beach Public Services agency, where he oversees the planning, procurement, and maintenance of municipal landscaping and irrigation infrastructure. In this primary procurement role, he ensures that public spaces, parks, and green infrastructure meet functional, aesthetic, and environmental standards aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain resilient urban ecosystems. His acquisitions primarily involve water-efficient irrigation systems, native plant installations, stormwater management landscaping, and associated civil works, all critical to preserving the city’s water resources and public health. He collaborates closely with engineering, environmental, and operations teams to align procurement with long-term infrastructure resilience goals. Carl works directly with a range of specialized contractors including landscape architecture firms, irrigation system installers, and hardscape contractors who possess expertise in sustainable design and drought-tolerant landscaping. His working relationships are built on technical proficiency, compliance with municipal codes, and proven track records in delivering low-maintenance, high-performance green infrastructure. He prioritizes vendors with certified irrigation specialists, EPA WaterSense partnerships, and experience in Florida-specific native plant ecosystems. Carl’s procurement patterns show a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, reflecting a focus on technical capability and performance over socioeconomic categorization. While he does not routinely prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, he evaluates all bidders based on demonstrated competency in water conservation, irrigation system design, and landscape maintenance standards. His primary NAICS focus is 221310—Water Supply and Irrigation Systems—underscoring his deep technical expertise in water-efficient landscape infrastructure. He procures automated irrigation controllers, drip systems, rain sensors, permeable hardscapes, and native vegetation packages designed for South Florida’s climate. His domain expertise lies in integrating water reclamation principles into public landscaping, ensuring compliance with state water use regulations and municipal sustainability benchmarks.
