DESCRIPTION
A government authority in Ohio is seeking a contractor to provide vegetation control services at nine separate fishing and boating access areas over a one-year contract period. The work includes two rounds of herbicide application, with spraying expected in mid to late May during the active growing season, though the schedule may be adjusted somewhat.
The project involves treatment of mixed broadleaf and woody vegetation, with many target areas located adjacent to public water bodies. As a result, herbicides must be approved for aquatic applications, and the spraying plan must address both vegetation types. The contractor must submit a list of all proposed herbicides by site to the area manager prior to each application. Use of toxic or non-approved herbicides is prohibited, and any damage to adjoining properties will be the contractor's sole responsibility.
Some sites may require access through private property, and the contractor must notify the property owner before application. Proper signage may also be required to indicate that spraying is in progress. Site access may require small off-road vehicles such as 4x4 or ATV-type equipment with spray tanks and hoses, and some areas may also require hand-held application methods. Aerial photos identifying the exact spray locations are available, with treatment areas designated in yellow.
