He welcomed the participants and reminded them that nothing in the Conference would qualify the terms and conditions of the solicitation and specifications and that the terms of the solicitation and specifications remain unchanged unless the solicitation is amended in writing. He then introduced Dr. Brian Mihlbachler. 2.Dr. Mihlbachler gave a short briefing that included the background of noxious weeds spraying efforts at the USAF Academy (USAFA), a short technical discussion of the types of noxious weeds and their location using the aerial map, the location of no-spray areas due to Prebble’s mouse habitats, external access points to USAFA and to points within USAFA, the location of training areas and secure areas, and identified the pest management coordinator. 3.The following questions were submitted: a.Do you have to exit USAFA to mix herbicides? Yes. The contractor can mix a large tank offsite and fill into smaller tanks within USAFA. b.Will USAFA provide a water supply? No. c.Will USAFA send an inspector as an escort with the contractor? No, USAFA will conduct spot checks. d.Will USAFA provide security escorts? Only in areas that require escorts. The successful Offeror will submit a list of employees that will, upon clearance through a local police check, be issued a badge authorizing them access to the majority of USAFA. e.Will USAFA treat 50 Russian Olives every year? No. Russian Olives will be identified on a case by case basis. There may not be any in the years after the base year. There are some near I-25 that are the responsibility of CDOT. The contractor will treat trees more than 50 feet from the road. The contractor may also treat some resprouts. f.What types of vehicles are allowed off-road? Most areas are accessible to 4-wheel drive motor vehicles and ATV’s. In a few areas a long hose layout or a backpack may be required. g.Are the 350 areas to be covered “treated” or “covered” acres? Treated acres. This will be based on budget, the wheather, and when the limit for active ingredients has been met. h.Is pricing data available from the previous contract? No. i.How many applications are required in the summer? Due to the continuous nature of the maturing of weeds applications are made on an almost continuous basis during the growing season. 4.A tour of USAFA rangelands was conducted from 0835 to1035. Along the east boundary Dr. Mihlbachler pointed out areas with Prebble’s Mouse habitat. Near the northwest corner of USAFA Dr. Mihlbachler showed all participants an area where there a group of rare plants (Rocky Mountain Cinquefoil). Near the entrance to Jacks Valley Dr. Mihlbachler pointed out that Buffalo Berry trees (Cherperdis) have been mistaken for Russian Olive and that care needs to be taken to properly identify Russian Olives. The Conference concluded upon return to Building 8110. 5.If the question you asked at the site visit is not present or properly represented here please contact Scott Rogers, 719-333-6368, or submit it by e-mail and it will be corrected, answered, and posted.
