Piggyback Contract

Description

The Center for Environmental Management of Military Lands (CEMML) at Colorado State University seeks firm pricing for non-native, invasive vegetation management services performed at Nellis Air Force Base (NAFB) and the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), NV for a multi-year term. CEMML works closely with the Department of Defense, US Army Corps of Engineers, National Park Service, and other departments and agencies through cooperative agreements, grants, and contracts. Our resource management and planning, research, education, and outreach efforts inform military and other federal managers as they meet their dual mandates of using and conserving public-trust resources. Specifications are provided below.

There are three invasive vegetation management projects at NAFB for the 2023 treatment season. Suppression of saltcedar (Tamarix chinensis) on NAFB and the NTTR is the top priority. Saltcedar, a.k.a. tamarisk, is documented within improved and unimproved areas. Annual monitoring surveys show regrowth from historic treatment efforts and new growth in disturbed areas of the installation. There are approximately ten treatment locations on NAFB and the NTTR. In addition to saltcedar, Malta starthistle (Centaurea melitensis; MST) is located on NAFB. MST is a Class A noxious weed in Nevada which reduces habitat quality for native species. Priority treatment areas include approximately 0.5 acre of MST. Treatment date ranges are listed in the project descriptions. See Exhibit A for images and area maps.
