This is a Scope of Work document issued by Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute (TAMU-NRI) on behalf of Naval Air Station Corpus Christi (NASCC) for invasive Brazilian peppertree removal and herbicide treatment services. The project encompasses approximately 5.5 acres across four treatment areas: Dimmit Shoreline (2.4 acres), Southern Fence Line (2.5 acres), Golf Course East (0.25 acres), and Golf Course West (0.25 acres), all located in Nueces County, Texas. The primary treatment method required is cut-stump removal with immediate herbicide application to prevent resprouting, with chainsaw-based removal anticipated due to site conditions. Additional services include vegetation disposal with separate pricing for the golf course sites, where cut material must be removed off-installation, while shoreline materials may remain in place. Contractors must obtain installation access credentials, coordinate with NASCC, and account for challenging site conditions including steep slopes, limited vehicle access, and possible boat access requirements.

All herbicide applicators must hold current Texas Commercial Applicator licenses and personally conduct applications, with licenses submitted to TAMU-NRI no later than ten days before field work. Herbicide specifications, including trade name, EPA registration number, application rate, method, equipment, and proposed treatment dates, must be submitted at least ten days prior to treatment and are subject to NASCC approval. Herbicide mixing is strictly prohibited on NASCC property and must occur off-installation; vehicles transporting herbicides must be equipped with spill kits, eyewash, emergency wash water, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits. Contractors must provide comprehensive documentation including daily field records, herbicide application reports within ten business days of treatment, pre/during/post-treatment photographs, and GIS deliverables in ESRI-compatible formats. Bid proposals must include company qualifications, applicator licenses, treatment methodology, proposed herbicides, logistics approach, disposal methodology, preliminary schedules, and separate pricing for treatment activities, material disposal, and optional boat access.

Scope of Work:

Brazilian Peppertree Removal and Herbicide Treatments

Naval Air Station Corpus Christi

Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute

July 2026

1.0 Project Background

Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute (TAMU-NRI) is soliciting qualified vegetation management contractors to provide invasive Brazilian peppertree (Schinus terebinthifolius) treatment and eradication services on Naval Air Station Corpus Christi (NASCC), Nueces County, Texas.

The purpose of this project is the control and eradication of Brazilian peppertree infestations located along the NASCC shoreline and golf course through mechanical removal and herbicide treatment.

2.0 Treatment Areas

Treatment areas total approximately 5.5 acres:

Area Approximate Acreage

Dimmit Shoreline 2.4 acres

Southern Fence Line 2.5 acres

Golf Course East 0.25 acres

Golf Course West 0.25 acres

3.0 Required Services

The subcontractor shall furnish all labor, supervision, equipment, tools, herbicides, PPE, transportation, vehicles, safety equipment, disposal services, and incidentals required to complete the work.

Services shall include:

3.1 Brazilian Peppertree Removal

The primary treatment method shall be:

Cut-Stump Treatment

• Cut all Brazilian peppertree stems as close to ground level as practical.

• Immediately treat freshly cut stumps with an approved herbicide to prevent resprouting.

• Treatment shall target complete mortality and long-term eradication.

• Chainsaw-based removal is anticipated and expected due to site conditions.

• Alternative methodologies may be proposed by the contractor for evaluation; however, any alternative approach must be approved by TAMU-NRI and NASCC prior to implementation.

Vegetation Disposal

• Include separate pricing and methodology for off-site disposal of cut Brazilian peppertree material on the two Golf Course sites. Methods must prevent spread of viable plant material. Cut vegetation may be left in place on the two Shoreline sites.

4.0 Access and Logistics

The contractor shall obtain Installation access credentials, coordinate access through NASCC, and plan for limited shoreline access and hiking to treatment areas. Work should account for steep slopes, shoreline conditions, limited vehicle access, and possible boat access needs.

5.0 Herbicide Requirements

5.1 Licensing

All applicators shall:

• Hold current Texas Commercial Applicator licenses appropriate for the work being performed.

• Personally conduct herbicide applications.

• No uncertified personnel may apply herbicides.

Applicator licenses shall be submitted to TAMU-NRI prior to field work and no later than ten

(10) days before herbicide applications.

5.2 Herbicide Approval

A minimum of ten (10) days before treatment, the subcontractor shall provide:

• Herbicide trade name.

• EPA registration number.

• Application rate.

• Application method.

• Application equipment.

• Proposed treatment dates.

Final herbicide selection is subject to review against NASCC-approved chemical use requirements. No herbicide may be used until approved through project coordination.

5.3 Herbicide Mixing

• Herbicide mixing shall occur off-installation.

• Mixing herbicides on NASCC property is prohibited.

• Herbicides shall be applied strictly according to label requirements and all applicable regulations.

5.4 Vehicle Requirements

Vehicles transporting herbicides must carry spill kits, eyewash, emergency wash water, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, and locked herbicide storage.

6.1 Daily/Field Records

• Dates of treatment.

• Treated locations.

• Acres treated.

• Personnel performing work.

• Weather conditions.

• Herbicides applied.

• Pre-treatment photographs.

• During-treatment photographs.

• Post-treatment photographs.
