Performance is scheduled from June 1, 2026 through October 15, 2026, with the contractor required to maintain 95% treatment coverage of mapped areas while adhering to operational constraints including Monday-Friday scheduling between 7:00 AM and 4:30 PM and wind speed limitations not exceeding 7 mph.
