The actual acreage to be treated will be determined based on pricing, budget availability, and operational timing.

Allowable costs include travel expenses, labor, patrol activities regardless of methodology, equipment mobilization, herbicide chemicals, and any additional expenses necessary to identify and spray cogon grass patches within each acre. The contractor will receive compensation at the designated per-acre rate for all requested and treated acreage. A purchase order will be issued as soon as practicable following contract award.
