About this file
This technical exhibit outlines plans for bluebonnet seed planting at various gates and areas on an Army installation in fiscal year 2019. It provides details on the locations for bluebonnet seeding such as Keith Ware Hall, the Main Gate, East Gate, and Clear Creek Gate. Additionally, it specifies that bluebonnets typically begin flowering in late February or early March, after which the bean pod forms and must mature and split to drop seeds, which are then harvested in June and made available for purchase late in the summer. The document advises following Texas Department of Transportation procedures to plant seeds in freshly disturbed soil after construction, and to refuse mowing until June 1 despite potential complaints. It recommends doubling or tripling the amount of seed used compared to standard amounts.
The related pre-solicitation opportunity is for grounds maintenance services on an Army installation, to be awarded by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Hood. No further details are provided on the required services, response dates, or other contract specifics.
