About this file

This is a Pesticide Specifications document that outlines the chemical requirements and approved product alternatives for herbicide and insecticide applications. The document specifies six distinct pesticide products across landscape and turfgrass categories: Landscape Pre-emergent Herbicide 1 (Isoxaben-based Gallery 75DF), Landscape Pre-emergent Herbicide 2 (Pendimethalin-based Pendulum AquaCap), Landscape Post-emergent Herbicide (Glyphosate-based Roundup Pro), Turfgrass Pre-emergent Herbicide (Dithiopyr-based Dimension), Turfgrass Post-emergent Herbicide (2,4-D and MCPA-based Spoiler), and an Insecticide (Fluvalinate-based Mavrik Aquaflow). Each specification includes detailed active ingredient percentages, inert ingredient ratios, concentration levels measured in pounds per gallon or grams per liter, and manufacturer names with provisions for equal or approved alternative products. No information regarding quantities, response dates, due dates, site visits, bidders' meetings, award dates, or contract terms is provided in this document.

The specifications do not address pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent contractors, funding requirements, or contract duration. This document functions solely as a technical attachment establishing the chemical and formulation standards required for pesticide procurement, allowing contractors to source either the specifically named branded products or comparable alternatives that meet the defined active ingredient concentrations and formulations.
