AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A Request for BOCC Approval of a Waiver of the County Purchasing
Policy to Authorize and Allow the Land Steward to Make a One-Time Purchase of Heavily Discounted
Native Plant Material from a Single Source, Plantation Tree Nursery, LLC, That Is Not-to-Exceed
$25,000.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
Plantation Tree Nursery LLC in Homestead, Florida is liquidating their current stock of native plants
and selling stock at discounted prices. Since these prices are so low, the Land Steward would like to
complete this purchase without obtaining other quotes from other nurseries. If this purchase is approved,
then the subject native plants will be used in future restoration projects on Monroe County Conservation
Lands. The list of native plants to be purchased is attached, some substitutions may be made at time of
purchase (based on availability) but total purchase price will not exceed $25,000. A price comparison
table is also included to show Plantation Tree's prices compared to average prices calculated by the
Monroe County Planning & Environmental Resources Department professional staff in 2023 to
determine mitigation costs (prices were obtained from several native nurseries and averaged). There is
adequate funding in the Land Steward's budget to complete this purchase this fiscal year.
