Final ranking was determined by averaging each respondent's scores. The final ranking was: 1. Dot Palm Landscaping, Inc; 2. Aquatic Vegetation Control, Inc.; 3. Arbor Tree & Land, Inc. The selection committee unanimously agreed that Dot Palm Landscaping, Inc. should be recommended to the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners as the selected contractor for this project. Additionally, the selection committee agreed that if a contract could not be negotiated with Dot Palm, Landscaping, Inc. then the County should pursue a contract with the next highest ranked respondent, Aquatic Vegetation Control, Inc.

PROJECT LOCATION Lands in this project area consist of public conservation lands located throughout the Florida Keys either owned or managed by Monroe County. Monroe County owns approximately 2,000 acres of scattered conservation lands throughout the Florida Keys. This project will target sites that haye not already been treated in the Lower and Upper Keys identified below: Upper Keys: Key Largo; Tavernier Lower Keys: Big Coppitt Key; Sugarloaf Keys; Cudjoe Key; Summerland Key; Ramrod Key; Torch Keys; Big Pine Key Most individual parcels are only 0.1 acres in size, but many are contiguous and combine to form much larger management units. The majority of the sites are located in neighborhoods, adjacent to residences and roads. Level of infestation varies by site, ranging from sparse exotics to dense stands of Brazilian pepper. SCOPE OF WORK The project consists of the physical removal of all Category I and II Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council (FLEPPC) listed species occurring on selected Monroe County conservation lands, followed by herbicide application and chipping of all resulting biomass (except as described below for bowstring hemp and leadtree seeds). The contractor will manage the project including the scheduling, subcontracting as necessary, labor, monitoring and reporting progress. The County will supply locations and maps of project sites. The success of the project depends on the thoroughness of inyasive exotic remoyal. The County conservation lands contain a wide variety of exotics ranging from grasses to large trees. Different areas of the Keys have different species of concern but Brazilian pepper, Australian pine, Asiatic colubrina, lead tree, seaside mahoe, non-native scaevola and bowstring hemp are the most abundant. Every invasive exotic species listed by Florida EPPC will be either hand-pulled or cut Page 14 of 16 . . down and treated with appropriate herbicide. Exotic vegetation must be removed and cannot be left standing (including Australian pines). A "Gyro-trac" or forestry machine may not be used for this project. Every effort shall be made to avoid damage to native vegetation and wildlife. The Contractor is responsible for the initial herbicide treatment and removal of all the specified exotic species including trees, shrubs, vines, herbaceous plants and grasses regardless of the size or reproductive state of the plant. Each cut plant will be cut as low to the ground as possible. Cuts will be made level to the ground to minimize herbicide runoff prior to absorption. The herbicide will be applied using a low-pressure spray to minimize drift and non-target damage. A dye shall be used to facilitate identification of treated stems. An appropriate herbicide shall be applied within one (1) minute of stump preparation. Invasiye exotic plant species shall be treated with herbicide as follows: Treatment Method 50% Garlon 3A applied to cut surface immediately after cut or 20% Garlon 4 a lied to stum 's cut surface and sides 50% Garlon 3A applied to cut surface immediately after cut or 20% Garlon 4 a lied to stum 's cut surface and sides 50% Garlon 3A applied to cut surface immediately after cut or 10% Garlon 4 a lied to stum 's cut surface and sides 50% Garlon 3A applied to cut surface immediately after cut or 10-15% Garlon 4 a lied to stum 's cut surface and sides 30% Garlon 4 applied to stump's cut surface and sides 50% Garlon 3A applied to cut surface immediately upon cutting All mature (brown) lead tree (Leucaena leucocephala) seeds will be bagged and left on the site for disposal by the County. All bowstring hemp (Sansevieria hyacinthoides) must be dug out of the ground by hand, ensuring that the entire root has been removed. Resulting plant material may either be bagged or neatly piled on site (adjacent to the road) for County pick up. All other vegetative debris will be chipped in place. On sites where the mulch is to be removed, as determined by the Monroe County Land Steward, the mulch will be neatly piled by the road for pickup by Monroe County Solid Waste. On sites where the mulch is to remain, the mulch must be spread neatly across the site without covering remaining native vegetation. Logs that are too large for the chipper must be stacked by the road for pickup by Monroe County Solid Waste. The Contractor will provide all necessary equipment to complete the project including hand tools, chainsaws, chippers, yehicles, bucket truck, sprayers, garbage bags and personal protective equipment. The Contractor will also provide all materials for treatment (including herbicide and adjuyants) and ensure proper disposal of herbicide and adjuvant containers and will strictly adhere to all herbicide label application, precautionary, and safety statements. The Contractor shall be paid according to the hourly rates established in the contract for each type of employee. No compensation shall be paid for travel time to and from the work site. Page 15 of 16 . .. All herbicide treatments shall be at least 95% effective in preventing re-sprout of treated plants. If 95% kill rate is not achieved for any area of the project after two (2) months past initial project completion; one additional treatment of the exotic plants in the problem area shall be the responsibility of the Contractor at no additional cost to the County. The Contractor shall at all times provide an on-site ground crew supervisor that is certified by the Florida Department of Agricultural and Consumer Services and in good standing with that Department, as part of the work force. Ground crew supervisors will be responsible for: 1) coordination with the Monroe County Land Steward on a daily / weekly basis; 2) all control activities and safety on project sites; 3) assuring that all crews are knowledgeable of, and remain within property and treatment boundaries; 4) assuring herbicide labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)are on site; 5) avoiding damage to native vegetation and wildlife; and 6) strict adherence to all herbicide label application, precautionary, and safety statements. Ground crew supervisors shall be certified by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in the Natural Areas, Forestry, Right-of-Way or Aquatics category. The County reserves the right to disqualify prospective bidders who have violations of the Rules of Chapter 62C-20, F.A.C., or other state or federal laws or regulations related to pesticide use or aquatic plant control resolyed by mediation, Consent Order, or fine within the two (2) preYious years. Crew supervisors must meet with County staff on a regular basis to discuss the progress of the project and to determine priority areas for treatment. The contractor shall complete "Daily Progress Reports for Invasive Plant Control" and submit the completed forms to the County every two weeks. The Monroe County Land Steward will submit permit applications for the proposed exotic removals, however the Contractor is required to pick up the permit from the Monroe County Building Department and keep the permit with the crew while working on-site. The Contractor must hold a valid Monroe County occupational license and a Monroe County Certificate of Competency for landscaping. Additional plant treatment or removal and non plant debris removal may be added to the project by mutual agreement as field conditions warrant and funds permit. Such agreements for additional work shall be made in writing and agreed to by signature of both parties. While notice to proceed will be issued as soon as possible after the contract is final, the project timeframe may be adjusted depending on seasonal conditions. All work must be completed by April 15, 2008. Page 16 of 16 RFP for Contractor Services, Removal of Invasive Exotic Plants, Monroe Co.
