About this file

This document is a set of bid specifications for herbicide applications to be conducted at Letterkenny Army Depot's Bobwhite Quail Focus Area. The project requires a mechanized mist sprayer mounted on a track vehicle capable of applying a mist of the selective pre-emergence herbicides Prodiamine (Proclipse) and Imazapic (Plateau) at a rate of 36 oz per acre of Proclipse plus 1 oz per acre of Plateau. The application is designed to remove undesired herbaceous and invasive vegetation across approximately 102 total acres in two separate units. The contractor must be able to pass a federal background check for access to the facility, and their equipment will be inspected and performance tested as necessary. The treatment must be completed by April 15, 2020, with specific dates to be determined by the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the contractor.

The bid does not provide any pricing terms, set-asides, or information on incumbents or funding sources. However, it notes the PGC reserves the right to reject any equipment that does not adequately complete the job, and the amount of spraying to be done each year will be contingent upon availability of funds.
