CATTAIL & PHRAGMITE WEED MANAGEMENT

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW

See Project Overview at “Defined Terms” page, attached hereto. Defined terms appear in bold herein.

1.2 BASIS OF PAYMENT

This work shall be paid for on a total not-to-exceed basis. The proposed price shall include all material, equipment, and labor necessary to complete the work. The District shall pay 90% of the contract upon the satisfactory completion of a complete initial treatment following all Treatment Methods during the Initial Treatment Period. The remaining 10% will be released once the overall Performance Standard stated herein is achieved.

1.3 PROJECT DEADLINE

All work on this project must be complete by the Project Deadline.

1.4 CONTRACTOR QUALIFICATIONS

The Contractor shall have a valid Illinois Department of Agriculture Commercial Pesticide Applicators License. All workers under the Contractor’s supervision shall have a Commercial Pesticide Applicator or Commercial Pesticide Operator license registered to the Contractor’s Commercial Pesticide Applicators License. Copies of all Applicator’s and Operator’s licenses must be provided to the District prior to the commencement of any field work. The Contractor shall be able to provide the specified equipment and manpower to successfully complete all phases of the job(s) in the time frame indicated herein. Prospective contractors must demonstrate past experience working on weed management in State Nature Preserves and demonstrate staff has an advanced knowledge of regional wetland flora.

2.0 MATERIALS

2.1 MACHINERY

a) All equipment and work clothing, including boots, shall be clean and free of any seeds prior to entering or leaving work area to prevent the spreading of invasive species within and among job sites and other areas where the Contractor may have worked. Large machinery must be inspected by Project Manager prior to unloading from the trailer at the project location and be found to be clean and free of weed seeds.

b) Project Manager is not immediately available to inspect equipment. Therefore, the Contractor shall coordinate equipment inspection times and locations at least 24 hours in advance.

- 2 -

2.2 HERBICIDE

a) All chemicals necessary for completion of the contract shall be provided by the Contractor.

b) The Contractor shall comply with all Herbicide Requirements.

c) Surfactant shall be added at the highest recommended rate for application to Target Species.

d) The Contractor shall comply with all pesticide label guidelines and requirements.

e) The Contractor shall mix only the amount of solution to be used during that day’s work, as reduced activity may result from use of leftover solutions. The Contractor shall not apply herbicide solution mixed on previous days.

f) All chemical containers and herbicide application equipment must be clearly labeled with the chemical name and concentration. All herbicide must be dyed in order to determine where chemicals have been sprayed.

g) The Project Manager has the right to designate mixing and staging areas at the preserve after the contract is awarded. All herbicide mixing, tank cleaning, and equipment maintenance should be performed within these staging areas to limit the potential for damage in the event of a spill.

h) Extreme care must be taken to avoid contamination of non-target species with herbicides and herbicide spills within the project area. Damage to non-target species is a concern of the District;

as such the Contractor shall follow all applicable label recommendations for drift management.

The Contractor shall not spray herbicide when winds exceed 12 mph. Additionally, low-pressure sprayers and nozzles that produce larger droplets are desirable to reduce the likelihood of drift.

Application should not occur on days where the chance for precipitation is 30% or higher. The District reserves the right to prohibit spraying on days where weather conditions are not favorable. Significant damage to non-target species will result in the termination of the contract and contract obligations.

2.3 SAFETY EQUIPMENT

The Contractor shall ensure that the following safety equipment is available at the project site at all times for personnel involved in this project:

• First Aid Kit

• Portable emergency eye wash station

• Chemical spill kit

• All required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

• All appropriate herbicide labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for the chemicals being applied

2.4 PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS

The Contractor shall have a copy of these Project Specifications, with attachments, available at the project site at all times.

c) Herbicide applicators and operators should use all applicable and standard personal protective equipment during work and shall meet OSHA requirements.

3.3 COMMUNICATION

a) Communication and coordination with the Project Manager must be made for on-site inspection prior to the start of work to formalize access points, appropriate staging areas, site conditions for work, chemical selection, etc.

PROJECT 1

DEFINED TERMS

Project Overview: This project seeks to control common reed (Phragmites australis) across approximately 28 acres of the Aurora West Forest Preserve located in Aurora, IL (see attached County Locator Map).
