About this opportunity

The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is soliciting bids for a Site Preparation Ground Herbicide contract in the Olympic Region, specifically targeting forestlands in Clallam and Jefferson counties. The procurement involves ground herbicide application across 750 acres, with work scheduled between July 14, 2025, and August 8, 2025. Bidders must be licensed Farm Labor Contractors with both Washington State and federal credentials, capable of supplying 10-20 workers, and must provide references demonstrating prior silvicultural work experience. The bid must be submitted by 11:00 AM PST on July 1, 2025, with an anticipated award date of July 2, 2025. Contractors are required to use specific herbicides (Aquaneat, Polaris SP, Escort XP) and follow precise application techniques, including using blue or red dye for visibility and maintaining specific application rates. The evaluation will consider factors such as per-acre pricing (not to exceed $250), worker rights, and the contractor's ability to meet detailed herbicide application specifications.

The solicitation includes several set-aside and preference provisions, with priority given to small businesses, veteran-owned businesses, and organizations that do not require mandatory individual arbitration for employees. The contract is funded through state dollars, with the total contract value to be determined by the per-acre pricing and total treatment acres. Bidders will be evaluated on additional criteria including business size, veteran ownership status, and workplace practices. While no incumbent vendor is specifically mentioned, the contract requires demonstrated experience in silvicultural land management and herbicide application. Potential bidders should note the comprehensive qualification requirements, including specific licensing, worker capacity, and technical expertise in ground herbicide application for forestry site preparation. The DNR appears to be seeking a contractor with robust capabilities in precision herbicide application and forest management techniques.
