Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Cypress Ecological Assessment report dated 2/3/2020 (Attachment A) shall be used as the basis for determining the quantity and type of invasive species that will be required to be treated and removed from the entire project area. The steep slope located just west of the creek on the western edge of the property will require brush cutter, weed eater and chemical treatment to be performed at the direction of the engineer and shall be considered work to be accomplished under the base bid. The area delineated as the pine forest will require what is normally called a “residential thinning” and when complete will result in an approximate density of 30 – 40 remaining trees to be established between the contractor and the engineer. This work is in addition to invasive removal and shall be considered work to be accomplished under the bid. No mechanical equipment will be allowed within the Coffee Creek waterway. All in water work will be confined to chemically treating the alligator weed with the suggested chemicals. Contractor will be allowed to bring in a portable mulcher for in-place mulching if desired. Mulch piles will be required to be evenly spread upon completion. All trees and vegetation not mulched, including previously fallen timber, will be required to be removed from site.
