PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION: This is a non-personnel services contract to provide herbicide spraying on those portions of the Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) identified herein to control alligatorweed Alternanthera philoxeroides, Chinese tallow Triadica sebifera, maidencane Amphicarpum sp. and Panicum hemitomon, and any exotic plants. The government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the contractor who, in turn is responsible to the government.

The overall goal of this effort shall be to treat target plant species within the treatment unit or until funding is exhausted in order to restore native habitat and enhance growth of planted vegetation. The treatment area is a combination of riparian zones, bottomland hardwood, shrub/scrub, lakeshore, and permanent water.
