As part of the statement of work for each ordering application, the Contracting Officer’s

Representative (COR) will provide the Contractor appropriate shapefiles representing the acreage to be treated. The Contractor shall apply pesticides within four calendar days of the

Government’s request for treatment unless the COR and Contractor agree on a treatment date beyond the four calendar days after consideration of scheduling factors (e.g., airspace availability, weather, etc.). The COR will file a Notice to Air Mission (NOTAM) with the Navy

Flight Operations Tower prior to each scheduled treatment. Contractor is responsible for coordinating with the Navy Flight Operations Tower prior to flight in accordance with Federal

Aviation Administration regulations. Upon request by the COR, the Contractor shall furnish shapefiles from the aerial application guidance system documenting each aerial application when submitting invoices for completed work. Contractor shall have alternate means of application

(e.g., planes, equipment) in order to perform the aerial treatment within the timeframe specified by the Government if primary equipment failure occurs.

Under no circumstances will the contractor be permitted to conduct base operations on the treatment site. This includes but is not limited to takeoff, landing, chemical mix and/or transfer, and refueling. Award of this contract is in no way a guarantee of work as the work is ordered as necessary based on environmental conditions at the treatment site. The Government may request the Contractor to purchase pesticide products ahead of a request for application of a treatment to avoid treatment delays due to supply chain issues (e.g., shipment delays, product availability).

The Contractor will be required to provide appropriate storage for pesticide products in accordance with each products label. The Government will direct application of the

Government-requested biological or chemical pesticide product during the awarded option year when treatment site environmental conditions require its application. It is the responsibility of the contractor to determine if they wish to purchase products in advance of the Government’s request, however the government shall not be held financially liable for any unused chemicals purchased by the contractor in the absence of the Government’s request. The Corps reserves the right to make changes or cancellation to work ordered within 24 hours of making the order.
