(vi) Description of Requirement (including a list of any attachments)

Introduction—

The mission of the USDA Forest Service (FS) is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the Nation's forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations. To achieve this the Colville National Forest aims to treat 2,000 acres of invasive plants. This project supports the Colville National Forest Land Management Plan objective to treat 2,000 acres of invasive plants per year. This project will take place on The Newport-Sullivan Lake Ranger District.

Objective—

The objective of this purchase order is to prevent the spread of invasive plants by creating areas free of undesirable plants on the Colville National Forest. The treatment areas include Forest Service roads right of ways, berms on entry way of closed maintenance level 1 (ML-1) roads, and dispersed campground sites located within the Slate Planning area of the Colville National Forest to meet the Forest’s objectives of treating 2,000 acres of invasive plants per year.

Scope of Work—

The purpose of this solicitation is to secure services including all labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, operating supplies, and incidentals necessary for treating invasive plants with herbicides on specific areas on the Colville National Forest. Contractor shall use approved herbicides to treat and kill all invasive plants listed under Attachment 2 – 2024 Washington State Noxious Weed List. All weed control measures shall comply with all herbicide labels and the applicable laws and regulations of the State of Washington as well as the Colville National Forest Forest-wide Invasive Plant Treatment Final Environmental Impact Statement, USDA Forest Service and the 2005 Record of Decision for the Pacific Northwest Region Invasive Plants EIS and the terms, specifications, conditions, and provisions.

Background—

Invasive species (including non-native plants, animals, insects, and pathogens in aquatic and terrestrial habitats) do not threaten the capability of the Forest to provide for the desired conditions described throughout the Colville Land Management Plan. Impacts of invasive species are minimized through an integrated approach that emphasizes prevention, early detection, and timely treatment and includes cooperative management with neighbors within affected watersheds. In cooperation with partners, proactive invasive response plans are prepared, or existing plans reviewed to facilitate rapid response to new invasions.

Type of Contract Contemplated—

A single performance-based, firm-fixed-price (FFP), purchase order will be awarded.
