Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Contractor will be working with Dubois and King and the Town of Enfield to create a plan and treat invasive/noxious/exotic plants (upland and wetland sites) on specific properties across the Town at the Town's request. Properties will generally be land including but not limited to large forestland tracts, wetland parcels, parks, recreation, and public facility lands, and public road rights-of-way. The plant control will be completed with a variety of methods (ex. spot treatment, foliar, cut stump, basal bark, etc.) based on the site conditions of a specific project. As a result, the cost of the invasive plant control work for a specific project is expected to vary depending on the condition of the site and method used. The Town is targeting a uniform 90% +/- mortality rate. Efficacy within the treatment area shall be evaluated by the contractor and a Town representative. If a uniform 90% +/- mortality rate is not found throughout the treatment area, the contractor will be required to retreat areas as needed during the contract period. The entire project will consist of: 1. Meeting with the Town of Enfield and Dubois and King to develop a 4 year strategic control and elimination plan of invasive plant species within designated sites throughout Enfield. 2. Present written summary of methodologies and time-of-year proposed for work at each site. 3. Conduct control efforts at designated sites over the course of a 4 year period, potentially providing guidance to volunteers at some sites. 4. Perform and/or guide restoration planting where identified as needed. 5. Present summary report to the Town following completion of the 4 year control project, including a final inventory of controlled populations at each site and recommendations for any further control/monitoring efforts. 5. It shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor to provide for all tools, parts, and equipment necessary to perform work under this Contract. 6. Work must conform to all applicable Federal, State, and local laws. All contractors performing pesticide application must be a certified pesticide applicator with appropriate categories within New Hampshire.
