Invasive Species Plant Control Service Performance Work Statement

1.0 Scope:

Arnold Air Force Base (AAFB) located in middle TN encompasses nearly 40,000 acres of lands, waters, and infrastructure which supports the base’s engineering and research mission. Installation lands contain a variety of plant communities, including wetlands and habitats that support rare, threatened, and endangered species. The focus of this requirement is to control invasive plant species within those plant communities. The base primarily uses prescribed burns to control invasive plants in some areas, but herbicide applications are needed to further eradicate and control the spread of invasive plants. As such, the work to be carried out under this task order is to apply herbicides to 1,400 acres in Management Units determined by the Government Representative (GR) to be in need of treatment. The herbicides are to be mixed off-site, transported to base, applied, and either fully used or leftover chemical to be transported off base and disposed of IAW label directions.

No herbicides are to be stored on base or any waste containers left.

Treated acreage not to exceed the original scope of 1,374 acres.

In carrying out work issued in this task order, the contractor shall furnish the personnel, services, equipment, tools, materials, vehicles, facilities supervision, travel and other requirements necessary for, or incidental to, the performance of work set forth herein; assure any and all program and/or project related costing information (regardless of its stage in development) is secured, as directed by the Contracting Officer (CO).

2.0 Performance Requirements:

2.1 Approximately 1,374 acres have been identified across several different locations (Model Airplane Field, Saltwell Hollow sites, South Camp Forest sites Bradley Creek, Airfield Barrens North, DLC West, Kentucky Lady Slipper site, TWRA units, Trillium site, Railroad and North Kudzu area) and prioritized (Management priority 1-4, with priority 1 being the highest and priority 4 being the lowest) for IPP treatments (Table 1; Figures 1-4). The contractor will apply herbicides using ground based application equipment in Management Units specified in Table 1 and Figures 1-4. Hard edges along roadsides, fields, and forested areas adjoining treatment units containing IPPs are difficult to delineate.

These areas not explicitly delineated in the attached maps also should be targeted for invasive plant treatments. Other Management Units wherever they may occur across the installation (Figure 1) in need of treatment may be identified by the COR through the course of this contract and may be substituted by the COR.

All treatments shall be coordinated and approved by the COR and performed in accordance with standards or guidelines established for each site. The Contractor shall utilize hand spray equipment and shall be required to walk into herbicide application sites. Other application equipment, and transportation via all-terrain vehicle, may be acceptable in specific instances approved by the COR.

Treatment of re-growth (if necessary) shall be approximately 60 to 90 days after initial treatment. A 90% kill rate is required for all treatments.

All herbicides used must be Department of Defense (DOD) approved for use at AAFB and label approved for the target species (https://extranet.acq.osd.mil/eie/afpmb/cac/standardlists/DOD_PEST_MANAGEMENT_MATERIAL_LIS T.pdf). The Contractor shall adhere to all Federal, State and local regulations governing the application, transportation, storage, use, and disposal of products utilized. These regulations include, at a minimum, FIFRA, 29 CFR 1910, OSHA General Industry Standards, AFI 32-1053, and Pest Management Programs. The Contractor shall conduct activities associated with the management of pesticides such as preparing monthly reports to ensure compliance with environmental and health and safety regulations.

The Contractor shall employ methods of integrated pest management to reduce adverse environmental impacts on the surrounding ecosystem.

This work shall be conducted at a time when the target plants can be easily identified and the likelihood of successfully killing them is maximized. Priority species targeted for treatment on the 1,400 infested acres are Lespedeza cuneata, Lespedeza bicolor, Rosa multiflora, Albija julibrissin, Pinus taeda, Ligustrum spp., Eleagnus umbellata, Lonicera japonica, Ailanthus altissima, Paulownia tomentosa, Carduus nutans, Sorghum halepense, Coronilla varia, Dioscorea opposita, Poncirus trifoliata, Vinca minor and Pueraria montana. Other Invasive Pest Plants (IPPs) to be treated with appropriate herbicide potentially include but are not limited to all species listed in Table 2, the Exotic Pest Plant List developed by the Tennessee Exotic Pest Plant Council. Locations may vary (see Figure 1).

The Contractor shall also be prepared to quickly respond to new, unmapped populations of noxious or invasive plant species. These populations will likely be small in size but found in sensitive habitats;

therefore, they must be treated quickly and with great caution for associated species. The actions taken will need to be accounted for in the documentation deliverable to the IPS.

2.2 The Contractor shall collect Global Positioning System (GPS) data at the locations where herbicide has been applied, contingent on the preferences of the IPS. This data is to be processed and compatible with installation GIS (SDSFIE 4.0). GPS data shall be delivered electronically.

During this fieldwork, the ground crew supervisor shall be responsible for collecting the following daily data, which will be recorded on a data sheet approved by the IPS (See CDRL A001):

ꞏ Treatment date ꞏ Treatment location ꞏ Treatment method (manual removal, foliar treatment, basal bark treatment, or cut and stump treatment) ꞏ Number of acres treated ꞏ Number of IPPs (trees, seedlings treated per site) ꞏ Herbicide formulation and volume used

ꞏ Names of applicators ꞏ Hours worked ꞏ Weather conditions during the work hours (cloud cover, temperature range, wind direction, wind speed).

2.3 The Contractor shall be subject to inspection by the COR and/or other concerned Federal, State, or local agencies. These inspections may be routine, unannounced, or based on unsafe or unhealthy conditions.

Every effort shall be made by the Contractor to avoid damage to native vegetation or wildlife.

Applications must be performed in such a manner as to protect non-target organisms, the environment, and the public. This includes taking into consideration and employing whatever means necessary to reduce drift in accordance with State Department of Environmental Protection/Herbicide Use Guidelines and adequately measuring and recording wind velocities. For exotic tree/shrub treatments, the Contractor shall use cut and stump treat, basal bark, or any other treatments as directed by the COR.

All crewmembers shall wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), as required by herbicide labels and EPA/DC/NPS regulations. Such equipment shall include appropriate gloves, eye protection, and any other equipment required for the specific tasks being performed. The COR may stop work by any crewmember found not wearing required safety equipment.

Trash and refuse resulting from the Contractor's operations shall either be removed daily and disposed of on the installation at locations and in a manner as directed by the COR or be carried out by the Contractor. No trash of any sort shall be left on the ground at the end of the day.

2.4 Personnel Identification and Qualifications:

The crew supervisor must be a licensed herbicide applicator who is qualified in IPP control and licensed in the appropriate application category (https://www.tn.gov/agriculture/businesses/pesticides/certification.). The crew supervisor shall carry proper pesticide applicator identification when working at AAFB. He/she shall be responsible for herbicide mixing, application and inventory, data collection, safety procedures, and crew supervision.

The crew supervisor must be on site when work is being performed.

Other crew members shall possess and carry with them a valid pesticide applicator registration. All crew members must be recognizable as employees of the Contractor by wearing distinctive clothing bearing the Contractor’s company name.

IPP Management involves the use of machinery that is inherently hazardous, such as herbicides, chainsaws, herbicide application equipment, etc. in sensitive, natural areas with complex vegetation matrices. Implementation of IPP control at AAFB requires: knowledge of varied exotic plant management practices, skill in operating and maintaining specialized equipment in a hostile environment, knowledge of pesticides and their chemical and physical properties, and the ability to follow the procedures and policies established by the DOD for conducting such operations.

2.4.1 All work shall be accomplished by the Contractor’s personnel and with the Contractor's equipment and materials. All equipment needed for applying herbicides shall be furnished, transported, and maintained by the Contractor. At all times when operations are in progress, the Contractor shall have a representative readily available in the area that will be authorized to receive, on behalf of the Contractor, any notices or instruction given by the COR. He/she shall also have a copy of the map and technical provisions on the site at all times.

2.5 Treatment and Herbicide Protocol:

Work shall comprise treating new Management Units and re-treating Management Units already treated in previous years. Management Units to be treated/re-treated are listed in Table 1 and shall be completed as time and weather permit, with priority given to certain Units at the discretion of the COR.

The Units are delineated on the attached maps (Figures 1 thru 4) and treatments should include the outer boundaries of the units, even if the vegetation type changes (i.e., if there is a tree buffer or a roadside ditch.) Re-treatments on sites will be directed toward finding and treating any missed or re-sprouted IPPs. The Contractor shall provide copies of any pest management application paperwork required by law and/or Air Force regulation.

Herbicides shall be the primary control method used. The two main chemicals that shall be used are triclopyr (in the form of Garlon 3a and 4) and glyphosate (Accord, Roundup and/or Rodeo). Other chemicals may be used subject to the list of DOD-approved herbicides, and upon coordination with the COR. Garlon 4 and Roundup may not be applied within 30 feet of open water or on saturated soils.

Herbicide should be applied until the surface (foliage, bark or stump) is wet, but no runoff to the ground or into water must occur. Field work shall consist of treatments of individual plants primarily on foot using hand tools in forested areas. The field crew shall work in teams of at least two members who will have and use appropriate safety equipment (e.g., protective chaps, eye and hearing protection, etc.).

Contractor will have on site appropriate equipment to handle and contain herbicide spills. The method of herbicide application is restricted to direct plant application using the following methods:

Cut-Stump - Each individual tree, shrub or large vine shall be felled and the exposed cambium on the stump sprayed with herbicide. The herbicide should be sprayed or painted on the exposed cambium, as soon as possible after cutting. Stem should be severed within 6 inches of ground level, as flat as possible, to allow as little distance as possible for herbicide to travel to the roots. Herbicide formulas may be glyphosate formulations, Garlon 3A in water or 5 to 20% Garlon 4 mixed with horticultural oil, depending on site conditions, species to be treated, and season of the year. This treatment method should not occur in periods of high sap flow (March 1st – April 15th). Appropriate concentrations shall be approved by the COR before work commences.

Basal Bark - Crew members shall use a sponge at the end of a wand or similar method rather than spraying, to reduce chemical waste. Basal bark treatment shall use a herbicide formulation ranging from 5 to 20% concentration of Garlon 4 mixed with horticultural oil. Each stem shall be treated by applying a band of Garlon 4 herbicide around the entire circumference of the stem from the ground and root collar up the stem 12" to 18" (depending on the size of the tree and the concentration of the herbicide formulation).

Foliar - The foliar herbicide formulation shall be aqueous solutions of 2-2.5% (by volume) Garlon 3A or 1.5-5% glyphosate product, depending on the product used and the species to be treated. Surfactant must be included in foliar herbicide formulations to increase overall effectiveness. The formula shall be applied in small droplets with a wide angle, adjustable pattern, brass nozzle tip attached to a spray wand on 3-5 gallon back pack sprayer. Larger, vehicle-mounted sprayers may be used, in specific Units, only if approved in advance by the COR. Herbicide applications are restricted to areas with no standing surface water, and should not be implemented within 1 hour before, during or recently after a rain event, dew, fog, etc. Applications cannot be made when winds exceed 8 mph or where adjacent vegetation could be subjected to off target damage by spray drift.

Manual Removal - All woody seedlings shall be hand-pulled and/or cut and stump treated with herbicide. Dense stands of seedlings may be treated by foliar spraying, if specifically approved by the COR. All hand-pulled woody seedlings shall be left hanging on other vegetation or deposited in a pile to reduce the possibility of re-growth. All manually removed vegetation should be left in place and not piled within 50 feet of roadsides or on fire breaks due to fire hazard during other management activities such as prescribed burning.

2.6 Herbicide Approval:

The DOD has approved Roundup, Rodeo, Accord (all formulations of glyphosate), Plateau (imazapic), Transline (clopyralid), Garlon 3A (triclopyr amine), and Garlon 4 (triclopyr ester) herbicides for treating IPPs. Garlon 3A is approved for cut surface treatments. Garlon 4 in horticultural oil is approved for basal bark treatments and cut stump treatments. All herbicide formulations utilized shall include a clearly visible, non-toxic, and biodegradable dye in order to facilitate determination of treated plants.

If the Contractor wishes to utilize another chemical or apply glyphosate or Garlon by any method other than mentioned above, the Contractor shall request approval from the COR. Evidence of the effectiveness, minimal non-target and environmental impacts, and safety of the proposed treatment in a habitat similar to that found on AAFB must support the request.

All work is subject to inspection by the COR both during and after the Contractor's operation.

Unsatisfactory work shall be corrected promptly. Upon completion of the treatments, the Contractor shall verify the data on the daily site sheets. Determination of success and contract completion shall be made by the COR, based on the Work Elements stated in this document and any contingent direction given on-site.

The Contractor shall contact the COR in person or by telephone prior to performing work, daily. The COR is responsible for determining what type of work can be safely accomplished in current weather conditions within the scope of this PWS.

It is anticipated that most work will be conducted in spring, summer, and fall – April through October.

Dormant season treatments may also be conducted in early and late winter (November and February- March) for appropriate species with prior approval of the COR. The Contractor shall be familiar with the project locations and existing conditions, previous treatment history, and data management protocols required by the COR.
