RICHARD B. RUSSELL PROJECT

INVASIVE and NUISANCE PLANT CONTROL FY 2021

SCOPE OF WORK

1. General Information

The contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, materials, compounds and tools to provide invasive and nuisance plant control for terrestrial and aquatic vegetation control through chemical and mechanical methods. Plant control will be conducted for specified areas are at the

US Army Corps of Engineers Richard B. Russell Project in Elbert County, GA and Abbeville

County, SC. The period of service will be from 01 April 2021 until 31 December 2025.

Nuisance plants will be controlled in various areas that may require different control techniques including (but not necessarily limited to) spot application of herbicides, broadcast application of herbicides over large areas, aquatic application and mechanical removal of vegetation.

Application of glyphosate-based herbicide, triclopyr-based herbicide, and Sulfosulfuron will be required by the contractor. Types of areas that will require nuisance vegetation control include: riprapped areas, walkways / trails, graveled parking and other areas, graveled and paved roads, fences, fields, drainage ditches, and other areas specified herein.

2. Methods of Control

a. Initial application of herbicides will be between 01 April and 01 May. Inspection and treatment of nuisance vegetation shall be performed at least monthly after the initial application and end October 16. The contractor shall apply appropriate herbicides(s) as often as necessary to achieve control of nuisance weeds and plants.

b. A glyphosate based herbicide (Roundup or similar) of sufficient strength and formulation to kill all vegetation growing in treatment areas shall be used in most areas with the exception of johnsongrass control areas and in areas where predominantly woody or broadleaf vegetation control is desired. Johnsongrass control areas shall be treated with Sulfosulfuron as early as 1

April based on seed head stage determined by the COR. In areas where predominately woody or broadleaf vegetation control is desired, a triclopyr-based herbicide may be used. Approval to use different herbicides may be granted by the COR on a case-by-case basis for certain areas for the purpose of more effective vegetation control.

c. The following areas shall be treated for nuisance vegetation control. The desired methods of control are listed. Any substantial deviation from these methods shall require approval of the

COR. Approximate measurements of these areas can be found on the attached maps. Note that all areas, lengths, and other measurements listed are estimated by using satellite photos and are not exact. The contractor may visit the areas by appointment prior to bidding to verify measurements and requirements.

• Chain link fence maintenance will be accomplished by herbicide application and/or weed eating two feet on each side of the fence and by removing any vegetation from the fence.

• All paved (concrete or asphalt) areas including roads, parking areas, and sidewalks shall be kept free of vegetation by spot treating with herbicide any vegetation growing in the cracks and seams as needed or by mechanical removal of the entire plant, including root structure.

• Ditches along the earthen embankments shall be spot treated with herbicide as necessary to kill all vegetation growing within them.

• Rip rap, graveled areas (including walkways, roadways, parking areas, and the area around the PMO solar panels), and maintained trails (whether graveled or not) will be treated by spot spraying or broadcast spraying with herbicide all vegetation growing in these areas as needed. Note that most of the rip rapped areas will need very little herbicide treatment, but some areas along the interpretive nature trail and most of the gravel roads will probably necessitate broadcast treatment with herbicide due to the amount of vegetation growing on them.

• In the dam safety / other areas, woody vegetation is the primary concern. In some of these areas, at the direction of the COR, it may be desirable to leave grassy vegetation for erosion control, so spot treatment by a triclopyr-based herbicide may be necessary. These areas may also have nuisance trees that will need to be cut down and stump treated.

• In fields identified specifically for johnsongrass control, other wildlife crops may be growing also. Herbicide may be applied over the existing crop. Sulfosulfuron shall be applied to areas in the specified fields that contain actively growing johnsongrass.

Application will be made when johnsongrass is at least 18-24 inches in height but before the heading stage. The specific date will be determined by coordination between the contractor and the government. The Outrider herbicide shall be sprayed per industry specifications and of sufficient strength and formulation (including proper mixing with a nonionic surfactant) to kill johnsongrass. Fields identified in the included maps may not need to be treated in their entirety for johnsongrass, as some of them do not have johnsongrass growing throughout the entire field area; however, up to 2 additional acres of areas not identified in the included maps may be identified for johnsongrass treatment with Outrider by the government after the award of the contract. Johnsongrass control areas will need only an initial treatment as long as successful control of johnsongrass is achieved. If a follow-up treatment is needed, it will be made no sooner than 40 days after the initial treatment and shall be made only after coordination with the government.

• The ~ 5 acre dove field near Waterfowl Drive, the ~7 acre dove field in the waterfowl management area, and the ~15 acre dove field at Middleton are identified in the attached maps for johnsongrass control will be planted in wheat. Any wheat that is not killed by the application of Outrider for the purpose of johnsongrass control will need to be treated once at a later date with a glyphosate-based herbicide at a time directed by the COR to insure that the wheat is killed and dry in time to burn before dove season.

• ~ 3 acres of aquatic weeds (Alligator Weed, Parrot Feather) will be treated in the lower duck pond area and beaver ponds.

• Up to 6 additional acres of other areas not identified in the enclosed maps may be designated by the COR for general herbicide treatment by a glyphosate-based or triclopyr-based herbicide after the award of the contract if needed, and the contractor shall treat these areas also.

Certifications, Safety, and Reporting Requirements

The Government may require repair or replacement of nonconforming supplies or reperformance of nonconforming services at no increase in contract price. If repair/replacement or reperformance will not correct the defects or is not possible, the Government may seek an equitable price reduction or adequate consideration for acceptance of nonconforming supplies or services. The Government must exercise its post-acceptance rights (1) within a reasonable time after the defect was discovered or should have been discovered; and

(2) before any substantial change occurs in the condition of the item, unless the change is due to the defect in the item.

(b) Assignment. The Contractor or its assignee may assign its rights to receive payment due as a result of performance of this contract to a bank, trust company, or other financing institution, including any Federal lending agency in accordance with the Assignment of Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3727).

(e) Definitions. The clause at FAR 52.202-1, Definitions, is incorporated herein by reference.
