In areas that are closed to public vehicles, the Vendor shall keep the gates closed at all times.

Vendor should be prepared to remove small limbs and/or trees that are hindering travel down access roads, which could require the use of a chainsaw. If large trees are found, notification of project staff may be required. The Vendor shall not trespass or otherwise infringe on private property.

9. SPECIFICATIONS FOR LAND MANAGEMENT.

9.1 General – Work will consist of various land management activities at Wappapello Lake. All, one, or any combination of the land management items may be performed at each location. The Contractor will take all necessary measures to ensure that each item is performed correctly and to promote the greatest possible product. Areas where land management activities are to be conducted will be accessed by the contractor only through an existing field gate unless otherwise specified by the COR.

9.2 Contractor Furnished Supplies, Materials and Equipment – The Contractor will supply all fertilizer, seed and additional equipment needed to perform the work included but not limited to tractors, and farm implements.

9.3 Seed – The Contractor will supply all necessary seed to perform the requirements of this contract. All seed must be pre-approved by COR and meet current seed standards and germination rates.

9.4 Access – The Government will clearly mark on maps and/or in the field, the locations work is to be performed. Because the management areas are dispersed throughout the project, the Contractor can anticipate considerable travel between many small work locations. Areas are accessible through gates ranging in opening size from 16’ to 32’ and will require travel down timber trails and field access roads. This may limit the size of equipment the contractor can use to perform the work. In areas that are closed to public vehicles, the contractor will keep the gates closed at all times, even while in the field.

9.5 Work Seasons – Because some land management practices are performed at different times of the year than others, it may be necessary for the contractor to return to each area more than once. Transportation cost must be considered.

9.6 High-water Events – The government may alter specified land management areas due to unpredictable high water events.

9.7 Cut Disking – Using a heavy cutting/bog-type disk, contractor will cut all soil and surface materials a minimum of 6” deep, thoroughly incorporating all materials. Cut disking may require contractor to cut fields with woody vegetation up to and including 3” in diameter. This may require multiple trips across the field to achieve the desired results. Each pass must overlap the previous pass in order to avoid unturned fallow strips of soil and surface materials.

9.8 Finish Disking – Using a finish disk, contractor will cut all soil adequately enough that all soil and surface materials are finely turned under and that no clods greater than 3” exist on the planting surface.

When finish disking is being used to accomplish seedbed preparation prior to planting, contractor must plant within 48 hours of final finish disking pass. If rain falls prior to planting operations, another finish disking pass will be required. Each pass must overlap the previous pass in order to avoid unturned fallow strips of soil and surface materials.
