Polaris SP – EPA REG #228-536 – 32oz / 100gal Water/ 1 Acre Accord XRT II – EPA REG# 62719-556 – 1 gal/ 100gal Water/ 1 Acre

Hi-Light – 16oz/ 100gal Water/ 1 Acre

The herbicide application the Corps of Engineers proposes to have applied for this contract is a tank mixture of Polaris SP, Accord XRT II and Hi-Light dye at the above mixture rates. The Contractor shall provide a minimum 25 foot buffer zone from all surface water, within this 25 foot buffer zone, Accord XRT II shall be used at a rate of 1 gal/100/ 1Acre. The contractor shall apply Garlon3A in designated areas set by the projects to control vegetation where trees and grass are to be left unaffected. The contractor shall incorporate HI-LIGHT by Becker-Underwood or other colorant equivalent, as approved by the Manager, as a temporary colorant that will leave a clear indication of completed coverage of treated areas. The Contractor shall follow mixture procedures set forth by the manufacturer.

Mixture and application rates shall not exceed the manufactures maximum application labels. The contractor shall always follow the more restrictive manufacturers label when making an application involving tank-mixes. All colorant treated herbicide solutions will be applied in a uniform and accurate manner according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the laws of the State of Ohio. No herbicide solution will be applied to any water surface or sprayed across streams to the opposite bank.

A-2. Mixing shall take place off of U.S. Government property or in those areas on U.S. Government property specifically directed by the Project Supervisor. Rinsing of contractor’s equipment shall not be permitted on U.S.

Government property. Transport of the pesticide or pesticide mix shall be done in a manner to reduce the probability of spills. All chemicals are to be mixed, handled, applied, and disposed of in accordance with all manufacturer’s instructions and applicable State and Federal laws by a contractor possessing a valid Public Operators License for General Industrial Vegetation Application issued by the State of Ohio Department of Agriculture. Proof of this license must be in possession of the contractor and the applicator at all times while on the project and presented, upon request, to any employee, agent, or representative of the Corps of Engineers, the State of Ohio, or other agencies having jurisdiction in these matters.

A-3. The contractor shall report to the Manager with the pesticide application record within 2 days of application using an ORD Form 1031 or a State approved form. All spraying must be performed in accordance with specimen label directions and federal and state laws. The amount of spray per acre should be just sufficient to achieve a total kill of undesirable vegetation, but not excessive to the point of runoff. The contractor shall apply product only during periods when there is very little to no hazard from spray drift, and during periods when there are minimal chances for chemical to be washed into Lakes. A photocopy of the valid applicator’s license in the State of Ohio and proof of insurance shall be provided the Project Maintenance Mechanic on the date of application.

A-4. Contractor shall guarantee total eradication of vegetation within 30 days and eradication of future pest growth during the season of treatment unless conditions exist that limits uptake of herbicides. The contractor shall return to inspect, re-treat growth or spray missed applications after initial treatment in 30 days at no additional expense to the Government. Any missed or regrowth areas shall be re-treated. No herbicide solution will be applied to any water surface or sprayed across streams to the opposite bank.

A-5. The contractor shall be responsible for traffic control of vehicles on public roadways adjacent to treatment areas with the use of warning devices and flagger as needed. Flaggers must have high visibility safety vests and other appropriate equipment for traffic control. Since some of the spraying will be along rail road beds, the contractor shall be required to contact the rail road for permission to be on or adjacent to the rail road tracks.

All acreage amounts are estimated and offerors should inspect the site for specific areas, and special conditions. Appointments for site inspections should be made with the Facility Manager for the Project. Phone numbers for the Facility Manager can be found on the attached specification sheets.

A-7. Payments: The contractor shall submit an invoice for 75% of the total amount of each job upon completion of the initial treatment (treatment No. 1) and an invoice for 25% of the total amount of each job upon completion of any required re spraying (treatment No. 2) provided that satisfactory results are achieved.

A-8. At the option of the Government this contract may be renewed for four (4) one year periods from 01 Jan 2021 thru 31 Dec 2021, 01 Jan 2022 thru 31 Dec 2022 and 01 Jan 2023 thru 31 Dec 2023, 01 Jan 2024 thru 31 Dec 2024.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.204-21 BASIC SAFEGUARDING OF COVERED CONTRACTOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS (JUN 2016)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Covered contractor information system means an information system that is owned or operated by a contractor that processes, stores, or transmits Federal contract information.

Federal contract information means information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as on public Web sites) or simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payments.

Information means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions, in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, or audiovisual (Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 4009).

Information system means a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information (44 U.S.C. 3502).

Safeguarding means measures or controls that are prescribed to protect information systems.

(b) Safeguarding requirements and procedures.

(1) The Contractor shall apply the following basic safeguarding requirements and procedures to protect covered contractor information systems. Requirements and procedures for basic safeguarding of covered contractor information systems shall include, at a minimum, the following security controls:

(i) Limit information system access to authorized users, processes acting on behalf of authorized users, or devices (including other information systems).

(ii) Limit information system access to the types of transactions and functions that authorized users are permitted to execute.

(iii) Verify and control/limit connections to and use of external information systems.

(iv) Control information posted or processed on publicly accessible information systems.

(v) Identify information system users, processes acting on behalf of users, or devices.

(vi) Authenticate (or verify) the identities of those users, processes, or devices, as a prerequisite to allowing access to organizational information systems.

(vii) Sanitize or destroy information system media containing Federal Contract Information before disposal or release for reuse.

(viii) Limit physical access to organizational information systems, equipment, and the respective operating environments to authorized individuals.

(ix) Escort visitors and monitor visitor activity; maintain audit logs of physical access; and control and manage physical access devices.

(x) Monitor, control, and protect organizational communications (i.e., information transmitted or received by organizational information systems) at the external boundaries and key internal boundaries of the information systems.

(xi) Implement subnetworks for publicly accessible system components that are physically or logically separated from internal networks.

(xii) Identify, report, and correct information and information system flaws in a timely manner.

(xiii) Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems.

(xiv) Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available.

(xv) Perform periodic scans of the information system and real-time scans of files from external sources as files are downloaded, opened, or executed.

(2) Other requirements. This clause does not relieve the Contractor of any other specific safeguarding requirements specified by Federal agencies and departments relating to covered contractor information systems generally or other Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI) as established by Executive Order 13556.

(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial items, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or transiting through its…
