Pine Pond Invasive Removal

The Genesee Region of New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYSOPRHP) is soliciting quotes for herbicide treatment of Brachypodium sylvaticum (Slender false-brome) within Letchworth State Park. The project site encompasses 10 acres of wooded terrestrial trails surrounded by Appalachian Oak-Hickory Forest and Hemlock-Northern Hardwood Forest, located between the Hemlock Trail (2A) and Pine Pond Y Loop. Infestations include scattered patches in forested areas between trails, as well as encroaching toward the Pine Pond wetland system. The estimated treatment area is approximately 2-3 acres, representing 10-20% infestation coverage within the total 10-acre project boundary. Please note the 10-acre figure defines the geographic boundaries of the project area, not the total area to be treated. Due to the scattered and variable nature of the infestation, the exact acreage requiring treatment may vary and cannot be precisely determined in advance. Vendors should anticipate treating approximately 2-3 scattered acres within the defined project area. Business enterprises awarded an identical or substantially similar procurement contract within the past five years: -LaBella (2025-2027 contract for Stiltgrass treatments within Letchworth)
