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.

* 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.
