AERIAL HERBICIDE APPLICATION SPECIFICATIONS

Project: Dugway Proving Ground Aerial Herbicide Contract 2026

Description: Dugway Proving Ground is in need of an arial applicator capable of applying imazapic to 3,755 acres during the fall of 2026.

A recent shift in mandated management goals is necessitating cheatgrass reduction to prevent wildfires in several critical areas.

There are two areas being treated in this action, both areas are less than 6 miles from the main gate of Dugway and are within 2 miles from each other.

We would like the contractor to procure the herbicide and Methylated Seed Oil (MSO) for this action, and apply it at a rate of 6 ounces per acre. Plateau, Panoramic, Cadre, Nufarm Imazapic, and Impose are all suitable products for this action.

This action is associated with project # 7929 in the WRI Project Database.

Arial application timing and logistics will need to be carefully planned and coordinated due to the restrictive nature of the airspace on Dugway Proving Ground. Airspace will need to be scheduled in advance to accommodate. All individuals gaining access to Dugway Proving Ground will need to clear a background check and be US citizens.

All access and work should be Coordinated with Kalon Throop, 801-835-8366

Equipment: No drones are allowed to operate on this project. Only helicopter or fixed wing.

Contractor must provide all herbicide and surfactant.

Location: Dugway Proving Grounds (Tooele County, UT)

Acreage: Approximately 3,755 acres.

Pricing: Bids are to be submitted on a cost per acre basis.

Herbicide Rate: Plateau herbicide (BASF corp.) will be applied at 6 oz/acre in a minimum of 8 gallons of water/acre + 2 pints of Methylated Seed Oil (MSO) per acre. The contractor is responsible for supplying all herbicide, surfactant, and water.

GPS Technology: The aircraft must be equipped with a global positioning system that is used to establish lines for 100% coverage.

Application Dates: Between October 5 – October 23, 2026.

Timing: The contractor will be expected to begin spraying by 8:00 a.m. to avoid windy conditions and minimize drift. The government reserves the right to postpone the operation if wind speed exceeds 10 miles per hour.

DWR Assistance: The contractor will be responsible for providing necessary equipment and personnel to load and mix herbicide.

Questions should be submitted via BonfireHub.
