Attachment_7_Contractor_Weed_Spraying_Monitoring_Data_Sheet.docx

This is a contractor monitoring data sheet template for weed spraying activities related to the Invasive Plant Treatment (Roadside) contract for Grand Teton National Park under the Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region (Solicitation Number 140P1426Q0067).

The template contains two survey sections for monitoring contractor weed spraying effectiveness. The first section is an Ocular Survey requiring documentation of location/site information, coordinates, contract type, surveyor names, and date, followed by a route description and results showing estimated percentage of dead plants by species. If less than 90% of plants have been sprayed, contractors must proceed to the second section. The Walking and Plot Survey section requires surveyors to use specific equipment (measuring tape at least 30 feet long, two clickers for counting dead and live plants, and a chaining pin) to conduct detailed monitoring. This section captures data across multiple plots and walking transects, recording coordinates, starting and ending points, and counts of dead plants, alive plants, total plants, and percentage control achieved. The template provides spaces for at least five separate plot/walking survey locations with final site totals calculated to assess overall treatment effectiveness.
