This is a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for herbicide treatment services on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands in Nevada, issued by the Carson City District.

The solicitation seeks herbicide application services for approximately 11,231 acres across four treatment units in Washoe County, Nevada: the NW Virginia Mountains 2 unit (2,382 acres), Winnemucca Valley 1 unit (2,165 acres), Winnemucca Valley North unit (1,300 acres), and the Gold Fire unit (5,384 acres). The contractor must furnish all labor, equipment, chemicals, tools, materials, supervision, and supplies necessary to complete the work. The herbicide treatment involves applying Imazapic at 6 ounces per acre (maximum 0.19 lbs. a.i./acre/year) using approved herbicides (Plateau EPA #241-365 or Panoramic EPA #66222-141-81927). The contractor must provide a minimum of 5 gallons per acre of tank mix and is responsible for all transportation, storage, and disposal of materials. The work period runs from September 15, 2026, to January 31, 2027, depending on weather and soil conditions. This is a firm-fixed-price, small-business set-aside acquisition under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) with a size standard of $11.5 million. Quotes are due July 20, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time. Award will be made to the responsible vendor whose quote is most advantageous to the Government, considering technical capability, relevant experience, past performance, and price. The contractor must be registered in SAM, hold a current Nevada Commercial Applicator License, and submit a Unique Entity ID (UEI) and CAGE code with the quote.

i) Tests for Uniformity - The Government representative will make tests to determine uniformity of herbicide application. Randomly spaced water sensitive cards or equivalent will be utilized.

ii) Tests for Rate of Application - Rate of spraying will be determined from test applications and strip tests made prior to commencement of spraying operations to establish setting of the distribution mechanism.

c) Completion of contract - The Contract will be considered completed and payment due when all areas furnished to the Contractor by the Government have been sprayed to the standards specified above and all GPS data has been provided to the government. Test for uniformity will be made at the time of spraying, and final completion of the contract will be determined by these tests.

7. PERFORMANCE TIMEFRAME

a) The period of performance is from September 15, 2026 after the first wetting rain/snow event, and will be completed no later than January 31, 2027 (depending on weather and soil conditions), this will depend on the time needed by the Contractor to complete the herbicide application. Government preference is starting and completing the project as quickly as possible, however due to weather conditions during this time, soil moisture, soil temperature, snow cover, and time frames may need to be re-negotiated.

b) There will be a Pre-Work conference prior to the start of the project at an agreed upon date between the COR/PI and the Contractor. At the pre-work conference the Contractor shall provide the COR a written “work progress” plan that details his/her proposed workforce and schedule to provide for orderly completion of the work within the contract performance times. This work schedule must be acceptable to the government. At a minimum the schedule should reflect a work progress rate equal to the available amount of contract

Solicitation No. 140L3726Q0110 Page 11 of 48 performance time. The unit sequence work schedule will be determined by the COR at the pre-work conference and may be subject to change because of normal variations in weather conditions at no change in contract time or price.

c) The Contractor shall begin work on a day mutually agreed upon by the COR and Contractor within the period of performance date listed in the award. The Contractor shall continue performance of the work under the contract without delay or interruption except by causes beyond his control as defined by contract clauses, or by the receipt of a “Stop Work Order” issued by the Government. Failure to do so may be cause for termination. The Contractor shall complete all work required within the time specified.

8. PAYMENT FOR SERVICES

a) Payment for herbicide treatment will be processed following the submission of final shapefiles, within the designated boundaries satisfactorily treated in conformance with application specifications. Measurement will be made from either physical surveys of the areas or a computer-generated file created in a GPS Differential Guidance System at the option of the BLM. The shapefile will be used in ArcGIS for final acreage measurement.

Acreages will be computed from horizontal distances as shown on maps at the option of the BLM.

b) If the quantity of a unit-priced item in this contract is an estimated quantity and the actual quantity of the unit-priced item varies more than 15 percent above or below the estimated quantity, an equitable adjustment in the contract price shall be made upon demand of either party. The equitable adjustment shall be based upon any increase or decrease in costs due solely to the variation above 115% or below 85% of the estimated quantity. If the quantity variation is such as to cause an increase in the time necessary for the completion the contractor may request, in writing, an extension of time, to be received by the Contracting Officer within 10 days from the beginning of the delay, or within such further period as may be granted by the Contracting Officer before the date of final settlement of the contract. Upon receipt of a written request for an extension, the Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and make an adjustment for extending the completion date as, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, is justified.

9. SAFETY

a) Contractor is responsible for identification and avoidance of any and all hazards. All appropriate precautions shall be taken by the Contractor.

b) The contractor is responsible for providing a safety plan that identifies a point of contact in the event of any accident. The plan should include names and emergency phone numbers for personnel and facilities to contact, including Flight For Life/Life Flight/Care Flight, etc., in case an emergency warrants such actions. The plan should also include a description of on-site emergency procedures to follow in case of an accident. The plan

Solicitation No. 140L3726Q0110 Page 12 of 48 should identify the insurance company providing coverage and the pertinent group coverage number.

c) Transportation of herbicides - The Contractor shall be responsible for the transport of chemical herbicides used to fulfill the specifications of this contract to the Contractor’s loading site. The Contractor shall secure herbicide containers in mixing area to prevent spillage. The Contractor shall load and transport herbicide from the pickup point to the work sites and shall be responsible for its protection from loss or damage due to weather, rodents, insects, theft, or any other hazard.

d) Protective clothing and equipment for contract employees exposed to herbicides - The Contractor shall supply protective clothing and equipment to contract workers that guarantee minimal exposure throughout the herbicide application process. The Contractor shall follow all advice on protective clothing and equipment which appears on the herbicide label and/or MSDS documentation. The Contractor shall make available cleanup facilities to contract employees exposed to herbicides or herbicide-contaminated equipment.

e) Storage of herbicides - The Contractor will be responsible for the proper storage of all chemical.

f) The Contractor shall mix herbicides in accordance with the proportions listed on the product labels. The Contractor shall provide adequate protective clothing and equipment for contract employees who mix the herbicides.

g) By law, the application of an herbicide, either directly or through drift, must not expose workers or other people. The Contractor shall be very aware and cautious of any environmental hazard present during herbicide application. Upon completion of herbicide application, the Contractor shall thoroughly clean equipment and dispose of waters, residues, rinses, and unused herbicides only according to EPA and Nevada State regulations. All empty herbicide containers will be tripled rinsed, labels removed, and punctured by the Contractor after mixing. The Contractor shall be responsible for disposal of the empty boxes, labels, and lids. The Contractor shall be responsible for disposal or recycling of the empty containers.
