1.6 Other: Under the Federal Noxious Weed Act of 1974, as amended, federal agencies are required to develop and implement and integrated management plan for suppression of listed noxious weeds, this contract is part of the implementation phase of this requirement.

2. PLACE/DELIVERY AND PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:

2.1 Place of Performance: The LVA wetland reserve easement located in Klamath County, Oregon at 42.020297, -121.209899 (Figure 1). At no time will funding be used to conduct restoration work activities on lands under the other jurisdiction (i.e.

Cities of Klamath Falls, BLM, CDFW, State and/or Federals Refuges, etc.).

2.2 The contract window periods shall be from 1 April through 1 July for the base year (2026). Option year 1 (2027) and option year 2 (2028) will take place between 1 April and 1 July, as needed. Precise date(s) for herbicide application will be specified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to coordinate herbicide application with the physiological development of the target weeds to achieve maximum effect of the herbicide. Work must take place before weeds begin to bloom to avoid attracting pollinator species. Start date is subject to change, or delay, contractors must confirm with the Project Coordinator that all permitting has been completed prior to beginning work.

2.3 The project will consist of 1, spot treatment, application of Aminopyralid at the rate of 0.11 lb a.e/acre (e.g. 7 fl oz of Milestone) and the surfactant Agridex or similar practically non-toxic adjuvant (following label rates), across 45 acres within the 1143-acre easement in 2026 (Figure 1). Optional Line Item 1: A second application of spot treatments across 45 acres in 2027 (if exercised); Optional Line Item 2: A third application of spot treatments across 45 acres in 2028 (if exercised). The U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service reserves the right to discontinue future treatments as needed.

Contractor must run E to W transects to search the area for noxious weeds except in areas along ditches or levees. Transects should run parallel to one another, approximately 10-m wide or 32.8-ft, or less. The transect approach must be done for each trip/application. Equipment must be well suited for spot spray applications and include a spray gun, and an ATV/UTV mounted or tow behind boom sprayer. Contractor will be required to be able to identify target noxious weed species within the spot spray area including Scotch thistle (Onopordum acanthium), Musk thistle (Carduus nutans), Bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare), Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), Pepperweed (Lepidium latifolium), and all plants from the “A” and “B” listed noxious weeds of Klamath County.

2.4 Normal FWS duty hours are Monday thru Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM. In the event of emergencies, the Vendor shall provide contact information. Emergency/Miscellaneous maintenance functions may be required to be scheduled during non-duty hours due to the nature of the work or specific scheduling requirements.

2.5 FWS non-duty hours include weeknights, weekends, and Federal Government holidays.

3. SCOPE

3.1 Provide application of herbicides and associated adjuvants for the control of Scotch thistle (Onopordum acanthium), Musk thistle (Carduus nutans), Bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare), Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), Pepperweed (Lepidium latifolium), and other undesirable weed species at the LVA WRE. Method of treatment will be spot treatment on approximately <5% of the 1143-acre property. Treatment size is 45-acres and treatments would occur between April 1st and July 1st in 2026. Option year one and two will take place from April 1st – July 1st in 2027 and 2028. Fish and Wildlife Service policy requires all herbicides are applied in a manner that minimizes impacts to the environment, yet controls target pest(s).

The project will consist of 1 spot application using 0.11 lb a.e./acre of aminopyralid (e.g. Milestone Specialty @ 7oz/ac) with the surfactant, Agridex or similar (2 pts/ac) as needed within the 45-acre search area (Figure 1). In the large sections of thistle, contractor must run East to West transects to search the treatment area for noxious weeds. Transects should run parallel to one another, approximately 10-m wide or less. The transect approach must be done for each trip/application except along levees.

Equipment must be well suited for spot spray application and include a spray gun, and either an ATV or UTV mounted or tow behind boom sprayer. Spray equipment must have the ability to turn spray on and off and spray applications must only include target noxious weeds. Levee applications must be done using a handheld spray wand to control application and prevent overspray from entering wetlands. No spraying will occur on the inside of irrigation canals. Contractors will be required to be able to identify target noxious weed species within the spot spray area including Scotch thistle (Onopordum acanthium), Musk thistle (Carduus nutans), Bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare), Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), Pepperweed (Lepidium latifolium) and all plants from the A and B list noxious weeds of Klamath County.

All treatment areas are in remote hard to access environments. Terrain across most of the area is uneven, and maintaining appropriate spraying speed, for the purpose of maintaining a consistent rate may be difficult.

The vendor shall supply appropriate spray equipment, applicator(s), and support (equipment and personnel) for mixing, loading and application of herbicides. The vendor shall supply all herbicides and adjuvants. The vendor shall report to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service the total quantity of herbicides used and GPS tracks of surveyed area and locations of spot infestations treated for this contract. The vendor must coordinate with the FWS coordinator prior to each treatment.

Detailed reports describing these techniques, and their effectiveness have been employed upon the project site; results of which are available for review upon request. The Fish and Wildlife Service staff will provide the contractor with maps of work areas, a prioritized schedule to work from, and field quality control checks. All equipment, including spray equipment, PPE, spare parts, fuel, and so forth, will be provided by the contractor. All repairs and servicing of equipment and PPE will be the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor will provide progress reports following each application, to Service staff via conversations, in-person meetings, or email to update staff on accomplishments and issues.

4. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE:

4.1 The contractor will be evaluated as detailed herein. All work included in the contract specifications shall be subject to inspections by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at periodic intervals during performance of this contract. Final acceptance shall be based upon satisfactory completion of the work in accordance with specifications on a task-by-task basis. An inspection will occur two weeks after treatment concludes to inspect effectiveness before payment is released.

APPENDIX A: Adjuvants: Surfactants, Wetters/Spreaders/Stickers/Extenders/Penetrants, Anti-foamers, Water Conditioning Agents, Oils

The table below indicates the function and use of various adjuvants for consideration by USFWS when applying pesticides in aquatic and/or terrestrial environments. This non-exhaustive list of adjuvants is in alphabetical order. No discrimination or endorsement intended.

There are > 3000 adjuvants available. This is a short list of those sometimes used by USFWS.

When using adjuvants with pesticides within 25 feet of surface waters/ aquatic habitats, the USFWS recommends choosing adjuvants that are practically non-toxic or have slight acute toxicity (LC50 >10 mg/L (ppm)) to aquatic organisms. Some of the many adjuvants on the market that meet that criterion are noted below in the Use Comment section as “Aquatic.” Some products contain alkyl phenol ethoxylate (APE), which scientific peer-reviewed literature indicate can adversely impact aquatic life. Selecting adjuvants for use in aquatic/riparian sites that do not contain APEs may lower the potential for non-target resource impacts.

A Compendium of Herbicide Adjuvants is available at: https://ag.purdue.edu/department/extension/ppp/ppp-publications/ppp-115-1.pdf Definitions related to adjuvant types can be found at the end of this document.

This list was adapted from the Washington State Department of Agriculture, Pesticide Management Division, Registration and Licensing Services Program Spray Adjuvants Registered for Use on Aquatic Sites in Washington (May 2017). Toxicity data are from studies submitted to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency by the registrants.

Adjuvants – Additives (compounds) mixed with pesticides to increase pesticide biological performance and/or modify physical properties of the spray application. They may be built-in to the pesticide product, or tank mixed with the pesticide product by the end-user. Spray Modifier Adjuvants include: anti-foaming agents, stabilizers, wetting agents, sticker-spreaders, and water conditioning agents, drift control agents. The American Society of Testing and Materials Standards (ASTM) www.astm.org has extensive information on adjuvants at https://www.astm.org/search/fullsite-search.html?query=adjuvants& Activator adjuvants: enhance the herbicide activity and include surfactants, penetrants, oils (seed oils and petroleum-based oil), fertilizers.

Surfactants - enhance the surface-acting properties such as absorbing, emulsifying, dispersing, spreading, sticking, wetting, or penetrating properties of herbicides.

Ionic surfactants – may be anionic or cationic; commonly the tallow amine ethoxylates, often used in agricultural pesticides. Non-ionic surfactants – are water-loving (hydrophilic) (sometimes sold as solids and require addition of a co-solvent.) Organosilicone (silicone) surfactants – greatly reduce surface tension to aid herbicide coverage and penetration (superspreaders).

Sometimes sold in combination with a non-ionic surfactant, so there is increased spreading and decreased time to penetrate the plant.

Wetters/Spreaders – help the herbicide spread over and penetrate the outer layer of a leaf or to penetrate through the small hairs present on a leaf/plant surface. Ethoxylated fatty amines, alkyl phenol ethoxylates; alcohol ethoxylates; and silicones.

Stickers - increase the stickiness, adhesion, deposition and retention of the herbicide on the plant surface; may reduce evaporation of the herbicide; act as a waterproofing to allow the herbicide to act.

Extenders – increases the effective life of the chemical.

Acidifiers/buffering agents/water conditioners - used to counter water quality conditions related to mixing herbicides and water spray solutions. pH buffers are useful with extremely alkaline or acid water, which otherwise can adversely affect herbicide performance. Water condition agents may chelate the cations, increasing herbicide performance.

Anti-foaming agents – eliminate or reduce foaming that might occur with agitation of the spray mixture.

Drift control agents – increase droplet size to reduce droplet drift. Sometimes thickening agents are used to control drift.

Oils – reduce surface tension, increase herbicide absorption through plant tissues, increase coverage, and spray retention.

Seed oils- extracted from seeds; naptha-based oils are petroleum-based oil.

Penetrants – enhances the ability of the chemical to penetrate the plant, often the oils are penetrants.

Sometimes nitrogen fertilizers (ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate) are formulated with a surfactant to increase herbicidal activity or counter hard water.

DOI-AAAP-0050 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM (DEC

2015 and up to v.3)

1) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

2) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

3) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO). Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

4) When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.

5) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at https://www.cpars.gov/.

a) Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.

b) Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.

c) All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

d) If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in the space provided, and then selecting “Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation”.

e) Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS-RC marked as “Pending” with or without comments and whether or not it has been closed.

f) If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: "The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment."

6) The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

a) Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.
