About this file
This statement of work outlines requirements for an airfield habitat modification project at Fairchild Air Force Base. The selected contractor will remove existing vegetation and weeds from two plots totaling up to 110 acres using herbicides and ground disturbance. The contractor must then till the soil, seed the plots with a 70/30 mix of smooth brome grass and streambank wheatgrass, and submit reports on activities. One plot will be seeded in fall 2022 and one in spring 2023. The contractor must follow schedules for vegetation removal, tilling, and seeding of each plot and implement dust control measures. The purpose of the project is to evaluate impacts of seeding different grass mixtures at various times of year on small mammal populations. The Department of the Air Force is the contracting agency, and the statement of work provides detailed requirements for the scope of work, specifications, compliance, and reporting.

Statement of Work
Habitat Modification to Reduce Prey Availability for Raptors
25 July 2022
FA462022QA154
Attachment 1 Statement of Work
1.0 Scope of Work (SOW): The contractor is expected to provide all personnel and equipment required to:
1) VEGETATION/WEED REMOVAL: The contractor shall remove existing vegetation/weeds via herbicides and ground disturbance in two predetermined plots, See Appendix B, Map, not to exceed 110 acres on and/or adjacent to the Fairchild Air Force Base (FAFB) airfield. To be accomplished in the fall and spring IAW the table one schedule below.
2) TILL: The contractor shall, within 10-14 days after fall herbicide application, till the fall plot, turning over the first 6 – 10 inches of soil to prepare for seeding.
3) TILL: The contractor shall, within 10-14 days after spring herbicide application, till the spring plot, turning over the first 6 – 10 inches of soil to prepare for seeding.
4) SEED: The contractor shall, utilize standard industry practices, drill seed a 70/30 mixture of Smooth Brome grass and Streambank Wheatgrass in designated plots not to exceed 55 acres per plot, and pre-determined by the Installation Habitat Modification Team (IHMT). One plot will be planted in the Fall 2022 and one separate plot will be planted in the Spring 2023. All work will be accomplished in compliance with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
TABLE ONE: SCHEDULE
SCHEDULE REMOVE TILL SEED*
Plot A - FALL 2022 NLT SEP 5 NLT SEP 20 NLT NOV 30 Plot B - SPRING 2023 NET MAR 15 NLT APR 10 NLT MAY 1
* Smooth Brome and Streambank Wheatgrass approximately 70/30 mix
1.1 Removal Instructions: Weeds will be controlled by both mechanical means and chemical application in the summer prior to seeding applications in the fall and in the early spring prior to seeding applications in mid-late spring. During late-summer, anticipated by the 5th of September, the contractor shall mow or flail vegetation in the fall study plot to a height of 2-4 inches to ensure adequate spray coverage. Spray an approved non-selective herbicide after mowing to adequately kill existing vegetation. In the spring, the contractor shall mow or flail vegetation in the spring plot in the same manner as the fall plot. If weather conditions do not permit these operations on the planned dates, the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer Representative will be contacted immediately, and an agreed upon date will be determined.
1.1.1 Herbicide application: Herbicides utilized to accomplish vegetation removal must be on the Armed Forces Pest Management Board (AFPMB) Standard Pesticides List Available to DoD Components and Agencies. Herbicides used must also be reviewed and approved by the FAFB Installation Pest Management Coordinator.
1.2 Tilling Instructions:
1.2.1 Fall Plot Preparation: 10-14 days after fall herbicide application, the contractor shall till all the fall plot, turning over the first 6 – 10 inches of soil. Tilling should be accomplished no later than 20-September for a November seeding schedule.
1.2.2 Spring Plot Preparation: 10-14 days after spring herbicide application, the contractor shall till all accomplished no later than April 10..
1.3 Seeding Instructions: The seedbed must be firm and weed-free prior to seeding to ensure good seed to soil moisture contact. Some ridging and roughness are important for planting success, completely smooth surfaces are not desirable; however, ruts/soil depressions that could retain standing water are also not desirable. Weed control prior to planting is essential for successful seeding. The two plots prepared for fall seeding will be seeded with a 70/30 mixture of Smooth Brome and Streambank Wheatgrass in the late fall when the soil temperature, at a depth of two (2) inches, drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Following these guidelines fall seeding should be completed no later than 30 November 2022. The plot prepared for spring will be seeded no earlier than March 15, 2023 and no later than May 1, 2023.
Seeding for Streambank Wheatgrass/Smooth Brome mixture should be accomplished using drill seeding methods at a depth of ½ inch or less on medium textured soils. The seeding rate is 10 - 15 pounds Pure Live Seed (PLS) per acre.
