Request for Proposals - Updates to Low Water Use Plant Lists

AMWUA is soliciting proposals for the review and updating of the botanical and common names of the plants included in the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) Low-Water-Use / Drought Tolerant Plant Lists for the Active Management Areas (AMAs).  

The Low-Water-Use / Drought Tolerant Plant Lists are developed and used by ADWR to regulate landscaping in public medians and rights-of-ways within the AMAs. Many county and municipal governments cite the lists in their landscape regulations. Landscape professionals and the general public frequently refer to the lists as a resource for plants that are adapted to the region.

ADWR has requested that AMWUA contract for the review and updating of the botanical and common names of the 900+ plants in all five AMA lists.
