*ENV 01-01 ensures that Reclamation projects function as they are designed by examining all aspects of invasive species impacts and using an IPM approach to manage pests. The goal of IPM is to manage pests and invasive species, with consideration to the environment to balance cost, benefits, public health, and environmental quality.

3.0 TASKS - The contractor shall provide experienced and qualified professional personnel to provide the services to include, but not limited to the tasks identified below. The timely and accurate performance of these services must be recognized as a vital and mandatory requirement of the purchase order. Throughout the life of the purchase order, the contractor is encouraged to seek and incorporate innovative ways of performing these services in the most economical and efficient manner.

The contractor shall be able to identify target invasive species in all stages of development and distinguish between invasive species and non-target species. The applicator must have the appropriate commercial applicator’s license and must have at least 1 field season of experience spraying noxious weeds found in Montana.

The contractor shall utilize chemical control measures to treat all State of Montana listed noxious weeds, as well as any Beaverhead County listed noxious weeds that are discovered. Total area estimate is 200 acres of motorized spraying and 5 acres of hand/backpack spraying.

Ground treatments should occur throughout the summer season (June/July and then potentially again September). Aerial applications should be later in the year (September/October) to mitigate off-target impacts from large-scale aerial applications.

The contractor shall perform the following tasks:

1. Coordinate with Reclamation personnel to prioritize noxious weed management areas and strategies.

2. Conduct herbicide treatments with ground equipment (ie. ATV/UTV, Truck sprayers, and/or backpacks) along roadways, campgrounds, and surrounding rangeland.

3. Coordinate with Reclamation personnel to prioritize large noxious weed infestations to conduct aerial herbicide applications.

4. Coordinate with the aerial applicator and Reclamation personnel to ensure that proper campground or recreation closures are in place in a timely manner.

5. Coordinate with Reclamation personnel on needed education (applicator training, signs, campground host weed identification, etc.).

6. The contractor will avoid creating permanent trails by using alternate routes to and from spray areas and while treating.

7. Photo points will be established with Reclamation staff to monitor the effectiveness of the treatments.

3.1 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS - All services not specifically covered above but normally performed by a weed control service shall be a requirement of the purchase order.
