About this opportunity
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking bids for ground herbicide application services in the Northwest Region, specifically targeting silvicultural land management across 32 treatment units totaling 920 acres in Whatcom, Skagit, and Snohomish Counties. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) #3282 requires contractors to perform precise ground broadcast herbicide application using specific herbicide mixes, with strict adherence to environmental restrictions and buffer zones. Bidders must be licensed farm labor contractors with both Washington State and U.S. Department of Labor certifications, and must demonstrate the capacity to supply a minimum of 10 workers daily. The solicitation requires comprehensive cost proposals with detailed rates for each treatment unit, with bid pricing capped at $125 per acre. Bids are due by 1:00 PM PST on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, with work scheduled to begin on July 28, 2025, and conclude by August 29, 2025. Evaluation will include considerations for small businesses and veteran-owned businesses, which may receive potential scoring advantages.
The contract includes specific requirements for comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability, employer's liability, and business auto policies. Contractors must demonstrate precise herbicide application techniques, including specific mixing ratios, nozzle specifications, and environmental protection protocols. The DNR reserves the right to adjust unit assignments and potentially substitute up to 200 acres between two different herbicide mixes based on current site conditions. The procurement is funded through state dollars, with payment contingent upon verified acreage treated and full compliance with specified application requirements. Preferences are given to small businesses and veteran-owned enterprises, potentially offering scoring benefits during the evaluation process. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the solicitation indicates a preference for local contractors with specialized silvicultural land management expertise. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but the 920 acres of treatment at a maximum rate of $125 per acre suggests a potential maximum budget of approximately $115,000.
