- Description
- ** SOLICITATION**� Please see attached for full description The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, pesticides, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform aerial survey and imagery, and aerial vegetation spraying via helicopter or other aircraft for the USACE as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). The amount of effort varies for each area defined in this PWS. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this PWS. Background: This requirement requires a licensed helicopter/aircraft pilot and herbicide applicator to provide high resolution aerial imagery to identify areas of invasive non-native phragmites for spraying on up to ten (10) Missouri River Recovery Program (MRRP) mitigation sites in Nebraska. The MRRP sites are located in the river floodplain on the Nebraska side of the Missouri River within an approximately 84-mile segment beginning at river mile 590.0 (near Plattsmouth, Nebraska) and ending at river mile 506.0 (near Rulo, Nebraska), and includes both mainland and island areas of the mitigation sites. These mitigation sites are a mixture of woodland and forest, grassland, and cropland. The cropland is currently under an agricultural lease. Our primary goal is to effectively control invasive non-native phragmites (Phragmites australis subsp. australis) on MRRP mitigation sites in Nebraska without damaging nearby trees and shrubs and minimizing damage to non-target species. Scope: The Contractor shall provide all labor, tools, transportation, materials, and equipment necessary to control non-native phragmites on MRRP mitigation sites as outlined in Part 5.0 Specific Tasks and described here in the PWS. Services include: 1) surveying and identifying areas of one tenth (1/10) acre or more of non-native phragmites species with high resolution imagery to accurately map areas of non-native phragmites species identified in this PWS along an 84-mile segment of the Missouri River; 2) processing high resolution imagery into a kmz file that clearly defines areas of non-native phragmites areas and provide to USACE for approval of areas to be sprayed; 3) chemically controlling non-native phragmites via appropriate chemical application up to the estimated acres at up to ten (10) Missouri River Recovery Program (MRRP) mitigation sites in Nebraska per year; 4) documenting chemical applications via pesticide application records (PAR). The contractor shall follow all label instructions for mixing and applying all herbicides (including the addition of any adjuvants). All spray equipment shall be properly calibrated prior to spraying. All vegetation control operations shall be conducted in a safe and professional manner. Table 1 below gives the number of acres to perform Aerial Survey and High-Resolution Imagery each year and the number of acres of Aerial Spraying Operations each year. The quantity of acres in Table 1 below is based on historical spraying.
