About this file
This is a Pesticide Specifications document that outlines the chemical requirements for herbicide and insecticide products to be used in landscape and turfgrass applications. The document specifies five primary products: Landscape Pre-emergent Herbicide 1 (Gallery 75DF by Dow AgroSciences containing 75.0% Isoxaben), Landscape Pre-emergent Herbicide 2 (Pendulum AquaCap by BASF containing 38.7% Pendimethalin), Landscape Post-emergent Herbicide (Roundup Pro by Monsanto containing 41.0% Glyphosate), Turfgrass Pre-emergent Herbicide (Dimension by Dow AgroSciences containing 12.7% Dithiopyr), and Insecticide (Mavrik Aquaflow by Wellmark Inc. containing 22.3% Fluvalinate). Each product specification includes detailed active ingredient percentages, inert ingredient compositions, and concentration measurements in both metric and U.S. standard units to ensure precise application and efficacy.
The specifications allow for "equal products" as alternatives to the named manufacturers, providing bidders with flexibility in sourcing while maintaining chemical equivalency and performance standards. The document does not contain information regarding pricing terms, contract duration, set-asides, incumbent vendors, response deadlines, or funding sources. The revised version date of February 2025 indicates this is a current specification document likely used to guide procurement of pesticide products for ongoing landscape and turfgrass maintenance operations.
