Services include: provide technical assistance in the field of native plant revegetation, and ecological restoration including bioengineering; prepare revegetation plans; prepare project sites for seed and plant installation; install seed and plants; collect seed and cuttings; propagate native plants from ordering agency genetic stocks; control exotic plants; salvage plants from designated areas; construct or apply plant protective devices or substances; provide plant establishment care; locate and provide appropriate plant materials when genetic considerations are not applicable; hold and care for plants in the contractor nursery if project delays require; and monitor revegetation/restoration success. The resultant IDIQ contract(s) will be accessible to other agencies in the Federal Government including units of the DOI, Department of Agriculture, Department of Transportation, US Army Corp of Engineers (COE), and other (State and Private) domestic US territories included in the above states in. The scope of work includes but is not limited to the following: 1. Revegetation Consulting: Utilizing ordering agency regulations and policies to provide technical assistance to ordering agency staff. Technical assistance may include: • preparation of revegetation plans or sections of plans for requested projects; • reports and drawings or sketches regarding specific questions or projects; • written summaries of site conditions and/or work completed; • recommendations for invasive or exotic plant control, • soils analysis, recommendations for planting bed preparation, soils treatments and/or amendments based soils analysis, and/or recommendations for soil salvage, and topsoil storage; may include grading plans; • seeding and/or planting prescriptions and planting plans; • recommendations for installation techniques including but not limited to soil amendments, mulches, tackifiers and erosion control materials; • recommendations for plant protection including temporary holding options, supplemental watering and establishment care; • preparation of permit documents including 401,404 and SWPP; • work scheduling and cost estimating. 2. Site Preparation and Erosion Control: Prepare site and/or seedbed as needed, including grading to restore topography and/or hydrology, scarification and addition of appropriate soil amendments as directed. Provide and install a full range of erosion control measures as required. Provide incidental traffic control as needed to safely perform required task. If task order is for this task only, provide written summary of the site conditions and the work completed. 3. Seed and Cutting Collection: Collect seed, cuttings and/or native soil as directed. Provide all labor, materials, equipment, supplies, and transportation needed to collect seed, cuttings and soils for plant propagation and for site specific mycorrhizal inoculum. Records must be maintained regarding collection and provided to the ordering agency. 4. Plant Propagation: Provide a permanent greenhouse/nursery facility with heat, water, fertilizer, insecticides, fungicides, and photo periods as needed to ensure the propagation of healthy seedlings. Stock under production must not interbreed with other ecotypes of the same species and potting mix must not be contaminated with weed or species alien to the designated area. Provide appropriate measures of hardening and site adaptation to prepare stock for successful transplanting into the project site. Records must be maintained throughout production and provided to the ordering agency. 5. Plant Provision: Provide native seed and plants in sizes ranging from seedlings to 4" caliper trees that are native to the designated area and adapted to the environmental conditions at the project site, but not necessarily from local genetic stocks. 6. Plant salvage and direct transplant: Dig native plants mechanically or by hand from designated areas only. Plant where directed. Plants will range in size from seedlings to 2-inch caliper or larger. Hold in storage areas if necessary. Provide care during storage. If task order is for this task only provide written summary of the location, number, species and size of plants salvaged, locations of transplants, site conditions and other work completed. 7. Holding: Provide holding for plant materials in a manner which will ensure healthy stock if there are significant changes in the delivery date. Include repotting when necessary. Records must be maintained throughout holding and provided to the ordering agency. 8. Installation: Deliver and install seed and plant materials as directed. Provide mulch and perform other associated planting practices. Provide a one-year guarantee for plants provided and installed by the offeror or as required by the task order. Provide incidental traffic control as needed to safely perform required task. If task order is for this task only provide written summary of the site conditions and the work completed. 9. Protection: Provide protection from human trampling, and surface and underground predators as needed. Methods may include: protective netting, photo-degrading protector tubes and repellents, and temporary fencing. If task order is for this task only provide written summary of the site conditions and the work completed. 10. Follow-Up Care: Provide, upon request, care for revegetation installations until the plants are established (approximately 2-3 years) or as directed by the task order. Care may include exotic plant control, weeding and irrigation. Provide incidental traffic control as needed to safely perform required task. Provide written progress reports as specified by ordering agency. 11. Exotic Plant Control: As appropriate and acceptable in the designated area, utilize hand pulling, clearing, tilling and chemical application practices to control exotic species as directed by the task order. Contractor shall meet current Federal and state certification, application and safety requirements. Provide incidental traffic control as needed to safely perform required task. If task order is for this task only provide written summary of the site conditions certifications, safety precautions and the work completed. 12. Monitoring: Establish baseline conditions and monitor revegetation activities and plantings following installation for a period of 1- 5 years, as directed in task order. Provide reports as requested. NPS genetic conservation policy: The National Park Service policy calls for the preservation of native plant communities and their genetic resources wherever possible in natural zones. Accordingly, road slopes and other large areas intended to support self-sustaining native plant communities will usually be restored with local genetic stocks of native species. Most propagation requested under this IDIQ will require use of seed or cuttings native to areas which the NPS will designate as appropriate for a particular project. Genetic policy is less stringently applied for landscaping around developed areas. Depending on the site, the project time frame, and the importance of genetic issues there, large landscape plants may be custom-grown or they may be provided from sources other than park gene pools. Preferably, provided plants will be site-adapted (i.e., from genetic stocks likely to survive at the project site). Plant materials to be produced or supplied: The types of materials to be produced include, but are not limited to: trees and shrubs in seedling, 1 gallon and 5 gallon sizes; and grasses, sedges, rushes and forbs in plugs, tubelings and other small containers. For areas where a more mature landscape is desired and genetic integrity is not crucial, the contractor may be requested to provide the same sizes of materials from sources that are likely to survive well at the project site.
