About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for the Cattle Egret Habitat Removal Property B federal contract opportunity.
The document addresses six clarifications regarding habitat removal work requirements. All trees, regardless of size, must have stumps left at 2 inches above soil line; complete stump grubbing, uprooting, or subterranean excavation is prohibited. Work must commence no later than 30 September 2026, with all chipping, hauling, off-site legal disposal, and site cleanup completed by 30 October 2026. Wood chips must be removed entirely from the property and legally disposed of off-site, as on-site chip disposal violates customer requirements and landowner agreements. Herbicide application is restricted to direct cut-stump treatment only and must be applied immediately upon felling each tree; broadcast spraying and forestry mulching equipment substituting for traditional felling methods are not permitted. Equipment may remain on-site overnight at the contractor's sole risk, provided landowner access routes and quiet hours (9 PM–7 AM) are respected and spill-prevention controls are in place; the Government and landowners assume no liability for loss, theft, or damage. Vegetation extending over or into ponds must be hand or saw-felled without chemical overspray into aquatic zones to remove nesting habitat.

Cattle Egret Habitat Removal Property B
Questions:
Q1. I understand that the stumps are to be left at 2 inches above soil line. Would it be possible to completely grub the stump from the property on the smaller trees? The large trees leave the stump or grub depending on the cleanest option?
A1. Negative. Complete stump grubbing, uprooting, or subterranean excavation is NOT authorized for any trees (small or large) under this contract
Q2. Is there a completion deadline?
A2. Work must be started no later than 30 September 2026 you have until 30 October 2026 to complete all chipping, hauling, off-site legal disposal, and final site cleanup.
Q3. Can we spray chips on the ground and leave them?
A3. Negative. SOW Section 1.C was specifically updated to mandate 100% off-site legal disposal. Leaving chips on-site violates the customer's requirement and landowner agreements
Q4. Can we mulch the entire area and spray herbicide on it?
A4. Negative. Broadcast spraying is prohibited; herbicide is restricted strictly to cut-stump direct application and must be immediately applied upon felling of each individual tree. Furthermore, forestry mulching heads are not permitted to substitute for felling shears/saws.
Q5. Can we leave equipment on site overnight if needed?
A5. Permitted at contractor's sole risk, provided landowner access routes and quiet hours (9 PM
– 7 AM) are respected, with appropriate spill-prevention controls in place. The Government and landowners assume zero liability for loss/theft/damage.
Q6. If the pond has water in it, do we leave whatever brush in it, or does it need to be cut as well?
A6. SOW calls for removing nesting habitat (i.e., trees and sapling trees). Vegetation extending over or into water must be hand/saw-felled without chemical overspray into aquatic zones.
