There are six (6) hazard trees to be removed, those will be flagged at the start of the contract. Cut brush shall be deposited clear of the cut area in the bushes or horizontal piles off the ATV paths. No large piles. No cut trees shall be left entangled in standing trees. The use of skid steers, bulldozers, or other mechanical equipment are acceptable for use where safe to use, use is expected to be limited due to the steep rocky terrain along sides of the fence line and wet conditions.

2 Fence Line Chemical Treatment. The Contractor shall apply an herbicide to the entire fence line.

Herbicide shall have the capability to control/kill all local species to which it is applied. No herbicide is to be applied to the end cuts of limb at any time. An adequate marker dye shall be mixed with the chemical in sufficient concentration to leave an obvious and durable stain on the treated stubs, stumps, and stems. All such stems shall be treated on the same day that they are first cut.

4.1.2.1. Application Procedures. Application of chemicals shall be according to the label directions for the material used. When it is the professional opinion of the Contractor that the use of chemicals, mix ratios, carriers, or rates of application, other than those specified, will result in equal or better results, the Contractor may request permission for their use. Any such request shall be submitted in writing and shall specify the chemical, its uses, rates of application, and cost. A label for the chemical shall be submitted with the Contractor's request.

5 Missed Areas. If an area or work within an area is missed, the Contractor shall return and re-service the area or affected work immediately upon receipt of such notice by the Contracting Officer, or his/her authorized representative. Failure to correct noted deficiencies will result in withholding of payment for the work not performed.
