About this file
This is a Pesticide Specifications document that outlines the required herbicide and insecticide products for landscape and turfgrass maintenance applications. The document specifies five primary product categories: two landscape pre-emergent herbicides (Gallery 75DF containing 75.0% isoxaben and Pendulum AquaCap containing 38.7% pendimethalin), one landscape post-emergent herbicide (Roundup Pro containing 41.0% glyphosate), one turfgrass pre-emergent herbicide (Dimension containing 12.7% dithiopyr), and one turfgrass post-emergent herbicide (Spoiler containing a combination of three active ingredients totaling 50.33%). Additionally, one insecticide product is specified: Mavrik Aquaflow containing 22.3% fluvalinate. Each product specification includes detailed active ingredient percentages, inert ingredient compositions, concentration levels, and acceptable equivalent products from manufacturers.
The document establishes strict product specifications requiring either the named brand products or approved equal alternatives. No pricing terms, contract duration, set-asides, or bid response dates are specified within this attachment. This document functions as a technical specification guide to ensure bidders understand the exact formulation requirements and active ingredient concentrations required for all pesticide applications under the contract, with flexibility to propose equivalent products that meet the same chemical and performance standards.
