2026 Fair Haven Beach State Park Invasive Shrub Cut Stump Herbicide Treatment

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) Finger Lakes Region is requesting quotes for chemical cut-stump herbicide treatment of invasive woody shrubs at Fair Haven Beach State Park in Cayuga County, with quotes due September 22, 2026 at 5:00 PM ET and an optional site visit on September 9 at 10:00 AM ET.

The scope covers approximately 83.58 acres across two density zones: a 17.0-acre dense core (greater than 75% cover, identified as treatment priority) and a 66.58-acre low-density area (less than 10% cover). Target species include multiflora rose, common buckthorn, oriental bittersweet, autumn olive, Morrow's honeysuckle, border privet, Japanese barberry, jetbead, mock orange, and other mapped non-native woody shrubs at Sitts Bluff and adjacent interior woodland.

Pricing must be quoted on a per-acre basis with separate rates for the dense core and low-density zones. All costs are all-inclusive of salaries, equipment, supplies, travel mileage, and accommodations. The total acreage is subject to change and will be finalized by agreement with the selected contractor after quotes are received; any budget reductions will be applied to the low-density portion based on the contractor's quoted per-acre price.

No MWBE goals apply to this procurement. No incumbent is identified. Questions are due September 15, 2026 at 5:00 PM ET, with responses provided by September 17. Contact Gabby Landry at Gabrielle.Landry@parks.ny.gov or (585)-616-0317.
