1.2 Background

Per FAA requirements there are both annual and ongoing requirements to control vegetation growth at facilities maintained by the FAA. Ground cover, weed control, include ground sterilization are measures taken to properly maintain facilities. Steps taken in these maintenance activities are to ensure proper operation of equipment. More stringent requirement is for navigational equipment: Vegetation should not be permitted to exceed 12 inches in height in the ILS critical area within 2000 feet (600 m) of the LOC and 800 feet (240 m) of GS antennas. Action must be initiated when observed vegetation growth exceeds this height.

1.3 Scope of Work

The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, services, equipment, supervision, and insurance required to sterilize (Herbicide) the soil in the areas specified in the Appendices with one solid application to bare ground annually and touch-ups to bare ground as required to maintain inhibition of growth during the contract year. All applications will have greater than 90% kill rate within 30 days of application. If the application does not achieve greater than 90% kill rate, then the Contractor will reapply application at no cost to Government. Solid application and touch-ups will be timely spaced during the growing season with Solid application in spring timeframe as growth emerges. The Contractor shall be responsible for using materials and application procedures that comply with local, state, and federal regulations.
