PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 SCOPE

This section covers all labor, equipment, live cut branches, and supplies needed for the installation of herbaceous and woody live and dormant plants to be installed as Plant Materials in the form of live stakes.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

a. Dormant Season

The non-growing season for woody species, when they have set their buds, and photosynthesis in the leaves has stopped (top growth is no longer occurring).

b. Harvesting Site

Approved existing, natural, native growing sites that lie within a 250-mile radius of the project site, or approved cultivated sites.

c. Installation Zone See plans.

1.3 QUALIFICATIONS OF CONTRACTOR

The Contractor shall have demonstrated experience in the installation of Plant Materials in similar projects in size and nature. The Contractor shall meet the requirements as specified elsewhere in the contract documents.

1.4 PLANT MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS

Plant Materials used for the project shall originate from local genotypes, and must be from a local source, as much as possible. Seed or plant parts used for propagation of Plant Materials shall have originated from a location within a 250-mile radius of the project.

Plant Materials to be used for the project shall be disease free, free of pests, and shall be alive and free of environmental stresses.

1.5 SUBMITTALS

Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation;

submittals not having a "G" designation are for information only. When used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government. The "RO designation identifies the Resident Officer. The following shall be submitted in accordance with Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES:

SD-01 Preconstruction Submittals

PART 2 PRODUCTS

2.1 SOURCE OF PLANT MATERIALS

The Contractor shall make quantity adjustments as necessary to ensure an adequate supply and excess quantity of Plant Materials to fulfill the requirements of the contract. If willows are not obtained from a commercial source, the Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer with a Letter of Agreement signed by the Contractor and landowner specifying terms of collection of cuttings. The Contracting Officer must approve the source of all cuttings, in writing. The Contracting Officer has the right of rejection of any woody plant cuttings. Additional plants may be needed during maintenance of the project throughout the warrantee / guarantee period. Such additional quantities shall be considered incidental and at no additional cost to the Contracting Officer.

2.2 PLANT MATERIALS

Common Name Latin Name Size/Type

Salix nigra Black Willow live stake

Salix interior Sandbar Willow live stake

All plant materials must be top quality stock. Plant materials shall be true to species. They shall be sound, healthy, specimens and first-class representatives of their species. Plant materials that have serious injuries, insect pests, diseases, or are shriveled, will be rejected.

Willow stakes are woody plant cuttings, capable of rooting, that are taken from trees and shrubs.

Willow stakes shall be cut using a clean, sanitized sharp tool or purchased from a commercial source. Live willow stakes shall be 6 to 8 feet in length with a bottom end of 0.5 to 1.5 inches in diameter. The top ends shall be blunt; bottom ends shall be angled at 45 degrees. Stakes shall be stripped of all stems and leaves, taking care to minimize scarring or bruising of the willow stakes. Buds shall be left in place. Immediately upon cutting, willow in water in a shaded area.

2.3 PLANT COLLECTION, DELIVERY, HANDLING, STORAGE AND PROTECTION

The Contractor shall provide for the proper collection, care, storage, and handling of plant materials before planting. During all stages, the plant materials shall be protected from exposure to wind and direct sunlight.

32 93 00 - 6

2.3.1 Collection

Willow stakes shall be purchased or collected. If collected, willow stakes shall be collected while dormant, preferably from October 1 through February 8. Willow stakes should be planted no later than May 31.

2.3.2 Delivery

The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of the delivery schedule in advance so the plant materials may be inspected upon arrival at the job site. The Contracting Officer will inspect the cuttings for damage immediately upon receipt. Unacceptable cuttings will be removed from the job site immediately and disposed of at an authorized site.

2.3.3 Handling

Install willow stakes within 12 hours of collection. If planting does not occur within 6 hours, plant material must be properly stored according to guidelines provided in Section 2.3.4 of this specification.

2.3.4 Storage and Protection

All live stakes collected more than 12 hours prior to installation must be carefully bound, secured, and stored submerged in clean fresh water for a period of up to two weeks. If stored outdoors, outdoor temperatures must be less than 60 degrees F. If the willow stakes cannot be installed during the dormant season, cut during the dormant season and hold in cold storage at temperatures between 33 and 39 degrees F for up to 2 months.

2.4 SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS OF PLANT MATERIALS

Willows (salix nigra and salix interior) are a relatively common plant species and generally readily available. It is not anticipated that there will be a need for a substitute species. The Contractor and Contracting Officer shall consult the Corps project biologist if any substitution is suggested. The Contracting Officer shall consider substitutions in Plant Materials in writing from the Contractor.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 PLANT INSTALLATION WINDOWS

Planting shall be conducted as soon as practicable during and/or after construction.

3.2 PLANT INSTALLATION LOCATIONS FOR THIS PROJECT

3.2.1 Willow

Willows are to be planted as shown on the site plans. Willow planting shall be coordinated with the Contracting Officer

3.3 DORMANT LIVE STAKE INSTALLATION

The Contractor shall inform the Contracting Officer of the date that the stakes will be planted seven days prior to stake installation. The Contractor shall flag all plant material locations for approval. The Contracting Officer may require adjustments to plant material locations to meet field conditions. Actual planting shall be performed only when weather and soil conditions are suitable and in accordance with locally accepted practice, as approved by the Contracting Officer. Plant Materials shall be placed in staggered rows following the finished contour with a two foot average spacing. A stinger, auger, or other suitable tool may be used to facilitate stake installation.

Contractor shall follow other general planting practices considered normal and prudent by the industry. Eighty percent of the stake will be installed below ground, leaving only twenty percent of the willow extending above ground. Stakes shall be places deep enough to reach wet soil during dry summers. Stakes shall be planted with the buds facing up.

3.4 PLANT MATERIAL MAINTENANCE

The Contractor shall be responsible for the maintenance of 100% of Plant Materials throughout the duration of the construction project. All plants shall be alive and growing (or dormant) throughout the duration of the project until completion of the warrantee / guarantee period, and maintenance period, as determined elsewhere in the contract documents.
