2. Background:

The work to be performed for this project is to apply herbicide on approximately 50 acres in North Cascades National Park, Stehekin, WA to control rush skeletonweed (Chondrilla juncea). The park’s Invasive Non-native Plant Management Plan has identified the Stehekin Airstrip, Buckner Orchard, and several small satellite populations as a high priority for control because of the potential for spread to other areas of the park. Contractor will furnish all equipment, labor, operating supplies and incidentals necessary to safely apply herbicide using an ATV boom sprayer and in strict compliance with the herbicide label and Statement of Work (SOW) provided.

3. Location:

The project work is located in the lower Stehekin Valley, in Lake Chelan National Recreation Area near Stehekin, Washington, 98852.

Stehekin is accessible from Chelan only by boat or barge. Lodging and meal services are limited in Stehekin.

Information about Stehekin (including maps, ferry and barge services and lodging) is available at www.stehekin.com and www.nps.gov/noca/planyourvisit/stehekin.htm.

Contractors are advised that barges run infrequently and if needed it is recommended that contractors verify scheduled runs and costs or cost of charter runs, with the barge company before submitting a quote. Some tools and materials may be sent on the passenger ferry runs, however some restrictions may apply. Mountain Barge Services provides barge services between Chelan and Stehekin (Phone: 509-682-2493).

NPS will provide vehicle support for transportation of contractor personnel and equipment between the ferry/barge landings and project sites while in Stehekin.
