F-1

1. General: The Idaho Falls District, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking to award

Blanket Purchase Agreements with one or more contractors to fulfill several different noxious and invasive weed inventory and herbicide application configurations to meet the differing site conditions within the district.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The location of the work sites shall be confined to lands within the boundaries of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Idaho Falls

District. The Government is acquiring services for noxious and invasive weed inventory and herbicide application. The Contractor shall furnish all personnel, tools, labor, supervision, equipment, materials, chemicals, supplies, transportation, training, and incidentals necessary to perform the herbicide application in accordance with the specifications provided and the herbicide label(s).

1.2. Objectives: The objective of this service is to inventory and reduce noxious and invasive weeds.

1.3. Scope: The work under this agreement includes inventory of noxious and invasive weed species and application of herbicide on sites within the Idaho Falls District. The

Contractor shall conduct herbicide application procedures safely, while strictly adhering to all guidance and restrictions located within the herbicide label along with the herbicide application restrictions of the State of Idaho. The Contractor shall follow Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines for application of herbicides (if applicable). The

Contractor shall provide BLM approved herbicides and adjuvants as specified in the individual orders. Targeted species identified in the orders will be treated at the appropriate biological treatment window to ensure successful control.

1.4. Period of Performance: The Period of Performance will be determined on individual calls within the active agreement period.

Estimated start date: June 1, 2024

Estimated end date: May 31, 2029
