STATEMENT OF SERVICES

AERIAL HERBICIDE APPLICATION

Arkabutla Lake Project

3905 Arkabutla Dam Rd.

Coldwater, MS 38618

06.11.2026

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking quotes from qualified Contractors for aerial spraying for herbicide for the control and eradication of unwanted, woody aquatic vegetation. Woody Aquatic vegetation includes Water Elm, Button Bush, Black Willow and other aquatic woody species.

Application will be performed in a manner that ensures treatment of all target vegetation. The Contractor shall perform application in compliance with all local, state, and federal laws concerning safety, application, equipment, and licensing requirements. General. Work associated with vegetation management will be performed within the limits, unless otherwise noted, of the Vicksburg District Corps of Engineers in the State of Mississippi. Specific treatment is explained below.

1.2 Location: Arkabutla Lake Project – LAT: 34.720874 LONG: -90.069986

The contractor shall provide all labor, tools, equipment, transportation, parts, materials, chemicals and other incidentals necessary to perform the service and application detailed in the Statement of Work as a turnkey project.

The treatment will be performed on up to the maximum of 5,500 acres on Arkabutla Lake properties. Shape files reflecting map locations will be provided to the contractor upon award.

Timeframe/Period of Performance: The herbicide application shall begin no earlier than 1 AUGUST 2026 and be completed ASAP no later than 31 OCTOBER 2026.

• 1 AUGUST – 30 OCTOBER 2026 (90 DAY PERIOD of PERFORMANCE)

*The project manager will approve the start date upon the ‘Pre-Work meeting’ per #6 paragraph below.

1.4 Treatment specifications and objectives: All herbicide applications shall be consistent with the product label instruction, manufacturer’s guidance, and the requirements of the contract. See paragraph 1.4. A minimum of 90% of all of the identified infestations to be treated in the treatment areas will be sprayed with each infestation receiving at least 90% coverage by foliar spray, to the degree that at least 90% of the live stems yellow prematurely within 2-3 weeks of the spray, or contractor will re-apply late summer/fall the very next year, at his/her expense.

The Project Officer will be responsible for documenting that less than 90% of the area was treated, and notifying the contractor, as soon as possible after the spraying activity (e.g. will survey the area, take digital photographs).

1.5 Herbicide: Roundup Custom (EPA Reg. No. 524-343), 4 Pound Arsenal (EPA Reg. No. 241-299), and

Aquatic surfactant (no compounds present in quantities that are regulated), shall be used for the application.

Generic equivalents of these herbicides may be used, but the herbicide label must be provided as proof of equivalency. Herbicides must be registered for aquatic use. No restricted herbicides are allowed. Herbicide substitutions may be approved by the government on a case-by-case basis. The Contractor shall submit the

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all herbicides to the Government representative prior to commencement of work. The Contractor shall strictly comply with the MSDS when handling herbicide.

1.6 Application: A solution of 6 quarts of Roundup Custom and 16 oz of 4 lb. Arsenal will be mixed with 15 gallons of water total solution per acre. This solution will also have an Aquatic Surfactant mixed in at the rate of

3 quarts per 100 gallons of water. All services should be performed in a manner that should ensure complete safety to all people in the area. No application will be attempted during inclement weather conditions.

1.7 Minimizing Impacts to Non-Target Species: No broadcast spraying shall be performed when wind speeds exceed specifications listed on the herbicide label, or 10 mph, whichever is greater, or wind directions are likely to result in drifting to non-target areas, or public use areas. There will be zero tolerance for direct spray or drift of herbicides into non-target vegetation or on adjacent property. No broadcast spraying shall be performed if more than 10% chance of rain is forecast for the day of application or for 24-hour period following the planned application.

2. NOTIFICATION OF TREATMENT:

2.1 The contractor will provide 72-hour notice to the Project Officer before arriving at the site location for herbicide treatment work. No spraying shall be conducted until the Project Officer has been notified prior and gives approval for the treatment to begin. The Project Officer retains the right to determine whether spraying at any time is appropriate, due to weather (including wind) and other considerations.

2.2 Handling, Mixing, Application rates and methods: All herbicides will be handled and stored in accordance with instructions on the EPA registration label. All herbicides shall be mixed in accordance with the label instructions so that the desired rate of application can be attained with the contractor's application equipment.

Mixing water is the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor is required to provide a secondary containment system around their herbicide mixing area when herbicides are mixed on government property. This containment system must be constructed of impervious materials. Unused, mixed pesticides will be disposed of in accordance with local, state and EPA guidelines. Spray equipment cleaning will also be accomplished in accordance with these guidelines. Prior to leaving a worksite for the day, the contractor shall remove all equipment and unused materials, any waste materials, oil, empty herbicide containers and litter resulting from contract activities on government property.

2.3 Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality – General Pesticide Permit: The latest permit and applicable forms are available on the Internet at https://www.mdeq.ms.gov/permits/environmental-permits-division/applications-forms/generalpermits/

Prior to making an offer, offerors shall view the referenced website for the latest permit requirements and applicable forms.

3. EQUIPMENT:

3.1 The equipment used by the contractor should be designed for such work and operated in a safe manner.

The equipment will be capable of accurately delivering a predetermined rate per acre dosage of herbicide.

Operator License, aerial Equipment, fuel, filing for flight paths and all compliance with the FAA and the state of

Mississippi shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.

4. SAFETY AND CERTIFICATION:
