About this file
This is a Pesticide Specifications document that outlines the chemical and product requirements for herbicide and insecticide applications in landscape and turfgrass maintenance operations. The document specifies five primary pesticide products organized by application type: two landscape pre-emergent herbicides (Gallery 75DF containing isoxaben and Pendulum AquaCap containing pendimethalin), one landscape post-emergent herbicide (Roundup Pro containing glyphosate), one insecticide (Mavrik Aquaflow containing fluvalinate), one turfgrass pre-emergent herbicide (Dimension containing dithiopyr), and one turfgrass post-emergent herbicide (Spoiler containing a combination of 2,4-D and MCPA derivatives). Each product specification includes detailed information on active ingredient composition, inert ingredient percentages, concentration levels measured in pounds per gallon or grams per liter, and manufacturer identification with approval for equal products as alternatives.
The document does not address pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent contractors, funding sources, or contract duration information. Instead, it functions as a technical specification attachment that establishes the precise chemical formulations and approved manufacturers for pesticide procurement, allowing bidders to understand the exact product standards required for landscape and turf management services. The inclusion of "or equal product" language for each specification provides flexibility in sourcing while maintaining consistent active ingredient standards and efficacy requirements across applications.
