Description
The Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife) is soliciting quotes for herbicide treatment of up to 26-acres at the Winimusset Wildlife Management Area located on Hardwick Road in New Braintree, MA. The goal of this project is to greatly reduce the currently dominant foxtail presence in these fields, to allow these fields to transition into native warm-season grasses. The contractor must control the foxtail without injuring the little bluestem, which is entering its second growing season since seeding.
• The treatment area is approximately 26-acres.
• The contractor must use an herbicide that targets foxtail but does not injure little bluestem.
• The contractor must ensure that unreasonable non-target damage does not occur.
• The contractor must provide their per acre cost and total cost on the attached Mandatory Bid Sheet.
• The contractor must submit the Response Sheet, which includes proposed treatment methods, proposed herbicide(s) and mix ratios, proposed machinery, method for control of damage to non-target vegetation, and proposed timeline for the project.
