Part 2 – Contractor Furnished Items and Services

2.1 General: The Contractor shall furnish all supplies, equipment, facilities, transportation, and services required to perform work under this contract.

2.1.1 Goats: The Contractor shall provide enough goats to complete the work typically between 15 May and 15 August of the contract year. Goats will be of a breed recognized for their grazing ability. Through coordination with the COR, some sheep may also be used to meet the vegetation removal goals. All goats and sheep will be healthy and free of disease. Goats and sheep may be brought on site using a trailer. There are areas available to park the trailer while not in use.

The contractor will be responsible for notifying the visitors of any hazards associated with their goats through signs.

There are two specific time frames for grazing. The first grazing is typically between 15 May to 15 June and focuses on the levee area to remove general vegetation from the levees. The second time frame is approximately 15 July to 15 August. The focus of this time frame is to remove invasive weeds from the specified areas. Time frames may change depending on vegetative growth and needs of the Project.

Coordination will be made with the Mill Creek COR on start dates.

All goats brought onsite will be restricted from grazing any vegetation outside of the zone area. Contractors may use an electric fence or other means of keeping the goats in the work zone. Any electric fence will be signed to alert the public to the hazard.

Water and protection from the elements will be provided to ensure the health of the goats while on the project.

Sheep may be brought on as needed by the contractor. All requirements that apply to goats will apply equally to sheep.

The contractor will be responsible for notifying the visitors of any hazards associated with their goats through signs.

2.1.2 Fencing: The Contractor shall provide fencing suitable to keep the goats corralled while grazing. The fence should also be suitable to keep visitors out of the grazing area. If the fence is electrified, the contractor will need to alert the public to this through signage in order to avoid any accidents.

2.1.3 Work Areas: All work is to be completed at the Mill Creek project at eleven (11) different locations.

The map below shows the work area overview. Areas are available for no-hook up camping as designated on the map and can handle a pull behind trailer. Water will be provided to the contractor at the designated sites below. All zones may be grazed at once or separately. In Zones 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 Mill Creek or Yellowhawk Creek may be used as a barrier to keep the goats corralled if desired, while Zone 3 and 4 is not near any surface water and will require a complete fence to keep the goats corralled.

Grazing areas have been treated with herbicide, ranging from spot treatment to boom spraying. Soil testing has not been performed in designated grazing locations.
