About this file
This document appears to be a set of miscellaneous information related to the Statement of Work (SOW) for the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program (CFTEP) Carrizo Cane Topping Project in FY 2024. It provides background on the project, which involves topping 160 miles of carrizo cane along the Rio Grande River to reduce the habitat for cattle fever ticks and improve visibility for USDA and Customs and Border Protection personnel. The project is divided into four phases, with each phase covering approximately 40 linear miles. The contractor is responsible for providing and delivering fuel, performing tractor maintenance, and supplying porta-potty facilities, with costs for these items to be included in the pricing for each phase. The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation for Carrizo Cane Topping Operator and Maintenance services, with a requirement for two contractor operators to perform the work along approximately 167 miles of the Rio Grande River within the CFTEP's Permanent Quarantine Zone.

Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program FY 24 Carrizo Cane Topping Project Miscellaneous Information
Background The USDA-Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program (CFTEP) is developing an execution plan for the topping of carrizo cane in South Texas. As this is a startup execution plan for this project, the CFTEP anticipates several phases of work to be completed. With the initial estimated linear mileage between 150-180 miles of carrizo cane, this estimate has been reduced to an unknown mileage as much carrizo cane has been eliminated due to Federal and State projects along the banks of the Rio Grande River in the areas for which the CFTEP patrols on horseback. Also, the current Statement of Work (SOW) requires a 30’ swath on each side of the CFTEP horse trails to be topped (Figures 1 and 2). This may require an occasional use of a skid-steer which the CFTEP can transport to the location if a trail cleanup is required. The CFTEP would utilize the skills of the contractor tractor operators to operate this government provide skid-steer.
Project Phases Due to a perceived reduction in linear mileage, the CFTEP is configuring four (4) phases to this project and pricing should reflect each of the four (4) phases.
· Phase 1 – Approximately 40 linear miles will be completed in this phase. It is estimated that this will be about 160 “tractor” miles.
· Phase 2 – Approximately 40 linear miles will be completed in this phase. It is estimated that this will be about 160 “tractor” miles.
· Phase 3 – Approximately 40 linear miles will be completed in this phase. It is estimated that this will be about 160 “tractor” miles.
· Phase 4 – Approximately 40 linear miles will be completed in this phase. It is estimated that this will be about 160 “tractor” miles.
The total linear miles upon the completion of Phase 4 would be 160 miles of topped carrizo cane. The CFTEP estimates that Phase 3 and Phase 4 may not be needed due to the many miles of carrizo cane that has been eliminated but realizing that regrowth will occur over time.
Other Considerations
· Other considerations include the contractor to provide and deliver fuel to respective site locations. The fuel pricing should be reflected in each of the Project Phases listed above.
· Tractor maintenance will be provided by the contractor and any break/fix items should be listed and priced and included in each of the Project Phases listed above.
· Porta-Potty facilities will need to be provided by the contractor and priced and included in each of the Project Phases listed above.
