The purpose of the current project is to maintain the County's properties that have been previously treated for invasive plants and to treat small infestations of exotics. Monroe County has received funding from the Florida Fish&Wildlife Conservation Commission, Invasive Plant Management Section,in the amount of$100,000 to fund an invasive exotic plant technician crew to work on County parcels selected by the Monroe County Land Steward. In addition, the County is providing a local match of$20,000,bringing the total funds available for the project to $120,000 (not to exceed). Work must be completed by May 19, 2023. 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 a portion of those properties in the areas identified below (the majority of the sites are within the Lower Keys area): Upper Keys: Key Largo; Tavernier Middle Keys: Crawl Key Lower Keys: Sugarloaf Keys; Cudjoe Key; Summerland Key; Ramrod Key; Torch Keys; Big Pine Key; West Summerland 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 easily accessed by roads. Work in neighborhoods will require special considerations for safety,noise, and appearance of the property. Level of infestation varies by site,but since most of these sites have been previously treated, most sites will be less than 10% coverage of invasive exotic vegetation. Location maps of the project area are attached as Exhibit 1. The selected contractor will be given more detailed aerial maps of the work sites,including GIS shapefiles. SCOPE OF WORK Contractor must comply with all provisions of Florida Fish&Wildlife Conservation Commission's Task Assignment FK-177,attached as Exhibit B. Failure to comply with said provisions constitutes reason for contract cancellation and dismissal of the Contractor. The project consists of the eradication of invasive exotic plant species occurring on selected Monroe County conservation lands,utilizing herbicide as necessary. The work will be completed by the contractor's ground crew comprised of up to four(4)invasive plant technicians (including the crew supervisor).No more than one crew (composed of one crew supervisor and up to 3 technicians)may work at any one time. The contractor will manage the project including the scheduling, subcontracting as 2430 necessary, labor, monitoring and reporting progress.Additionally, the contractor will provide all necessary training, equipment, supervisory and administrative support for the technician crew. All work is to be completed using hand tools (no heavy equipment required). Work must be performed during normal work hours (between 7:00 am and 5:30 pm), Monday through Friday. No work may occur on weekends or on holidays observed by Monroe County. The County will supply location maps of project sites,including GIS shapefiles. The contractor must have GPS equipment and trained field staff to enable accurate field verification of property boundaries and to provide accurate mapping of areas treated. At the end of the project,the contractor will provide the County with GIS shapefile data indicating the total area surveyed. The contractor will work closely with the County Land Steward to identify sites where only boundary or edge treatments are necessary and sites where a thorough inspection/treatment of the entire site is required. The work requires a knowledgeable crew of technicians who can "sweep"County properties and remove only the invasive exotic plant species found on the sites. The technicians must have demonstrated knowledge in identification of Florida Keys species,both native and exotic,including closely related species. The contracted crew's priorities will include: maintaining previously treated exotic removal sites free of exotics; conducting sweeps of large conservation areas, looking for new infestations; and the removal of small infestations of exotics from recently purchased conservation lands. The contractor shall notify the County Land Steward when it finds infestations of invasive exotics that are either too large for the crew to handle or trees that may be potentially hazardous to remove (i.e.near power lines or neighbors' structures). The contractor shall provide information to the County on the approximate dimensions of the infestation and the location. Target species include: Brazilian pepper(Schinus terebinthifolius); Australian pine (Casuarina spp); lead tree (Leucaena leucocephala); seaside mahoe (Thespesia populnea); scaevola(Scaevola sericea); latherleaf(Colubrina asiatica); Brazilian jasmine (Jasminum fluminense); Guinea grass (Panicum maximum); Washington fan palm (Washingtonia robusta); sapodilla(Manilkara zapota); sea hibiscus (Hibiscus tiliaceus); castor bean(Ricinus communis);wedelia(Sphagneticola trilobata); oyster plant (Tradescantia spathacea); air potato (Dioscorea bulbifera);red sandalwood(Adenthera pavonina); woman's tongue (Albizia lebbeck); tropical almond(Terininalia catappa); green fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum); asparagus fern(Asparagus aethiopicus); chastetree (Vitex trifolia) and night- blooming cactus (Hylocereus undatus). These and all other invasive exotic species listed by Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council(FLEPPC)will be either hand-pulled, cut and treated, or treated in place with appropriate herbicide. Every effort shall be made to avoid damage to native vegetation and impacts to wildlife. The exotic plant species listed above will be treated according to developed effective control techniques. Depending upon the species treated and the type of habitat, plants may be hand-pulled, treated in place, removed from site, or chipped on site. Decisions regarding specific plant treatment methods on each site will be made by the Land Steward. The contractor is responsible for the treatment and/or removal of all exotic plant species listed, including trees, grasses, groundcovers, and vines, in any life stage (including seedlings). Hand removal shall be the preferred method of removal when feasible. When it is not feasible, vegetation may be treated with herbicide and left standing in areas where standing dead timber does not pose a threat to human safety or is not offensive to adjacent neighbors. When cutting is required, each cut 2431 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. A machete may not be used to cut trees as it creates a jagged cut; loppers or saws are preferred tools. An appropriate herbicide shall be applied within one (1) minute of stump preparation. Invasive exotic plant species shall be treated with herbicide as follows: Target Species Treatment Method Asiatic colubrina 50% Garlon 3A applied to cut surface immediately after cut or (Colubrina asiatica) 20% Garlon 4 applied to stump's cut surface and sides Australian pine 50% Garlon 3A applied to cut surface immediately after cut or Casuarina s 20% Garlon 4 applied to stump's cut surface and sides Beach naupaka 50% Garlon 3A applied to cut surface immediately after cut or (Scaevola sericea) 20% Garlon 4 applied to stump's cut surface and sides Brazilian pepper 50% Garlon 3A applied to cut surface immediately after cut or Schinus terebinthi olius 20% Garlon 4 applied to stump's cut surface and sides Lead tree 30% Garlon 4 applied to stump's cut surface and sides (Leucaena leucoce halo) Seaside mahoe 50% Garlon 3A applied to cut surface immediately upon cutting Thes esia o ulnea night-blooming cactus Hand pull entire plant and physically remove all material from the (H locereus undatus) site bowstring hemp Cut and remove blade; treat cut base with 10%glyphosate Sansevieria h acinthoides Technicians shall utilize quart-sized, chemical resistant spray bottles, such as "Spraymaster"bottles (or similar), for herbicide application. The contents must be clearly labeled on the outside of the bottle. A dye shall be used to facilitate identification of treated stems. Herbicides will be applied using a low- pressure spray to minimize drift and non-target damage. Any additional treatment methods or changes to the methods listed above must be pre-approved by the County Land Steward. All mature (brown) lead tree (Leucaena leucocephala) seeds and air potato (Dioscorea bulbifera)will be bagged and left on the site for disposal by the County. All vegetative material from bowstring hemp (Sansevieria hyacinthoides) and night-blooming cactus(Hylocereus undatus) must be physically removed. Resulting plant material may either be bagged or neatly piled on site (adjacent to the road)for County pick up. The contractor may utilize a chipper(not required). Any mulch created will be disposed of in one of the following ways (as determined by the County Land Steward): 1. Spread evenly across the site; or 2. Removed from the site by the Contractor, at no expense to the County for the removal(if the Contractor wants the mulch for their own purposes); or 3. Neatly piled on the site by the contractor and removed from the site by the County(if Land Steward determines that on-site disposal is not an option). The Contractor will not be required to transport off-site or pay for the disposal of any vegetative 2432 waste created by the project, unless the Contractor desires to keep the mulch. The Contractor will provide all necessary equipment to complete the project including (but not limited to) hand tools, chainsaws, chippers (not required),vehicles, sprayers, garbage bags and personal protective equipment. The Contractor will also provide all materials for treatment(including herbicide and adjuvants) 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 on-site employee. No compensation shall be paid for travel time to and from the work site. The project is complete when the total cost per hour reaches $120,000 or on May 19,2023,whichever occurs first. There are no reimbursable expenses. 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 appropriate 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 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 resolved by mediation, Consent Order,or fine within the two (2)previous years. Crew supervisors must be bilingual if their crew includes non-English speakers. They also must meet with the County Land Steward on a regular basis to discuss the progress of the project and to determine priority areas for treatment. The supervisor shall complete "Daily Progress Reports for Invasive Plant Control"and will submit the completed forms to the County every two weeks at a minimum. The term "technician"is used to imply specialized knowledge of invasive exotic plant control. All technicians working on the crew must have training in plant identification(specifically Keys' species) and herbicide application methods. Preference may be given to contractors with highly trained crews, including those that have herbicide licensed crew members (in the category listed above). The contractor must hold a valid Monroe County business tax receipt. Additional plant treatment or removal and nonplant 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. According to the County's formal agreement with Florida Fish&Wildlife Conservation Commission, contractors working on invasive exotic removal projects must adhere to the following protocol: 2433 • Mandatory decontamination protocols must be followed for vehicles and equipment prior to entering Monroe County from areas outside of the County. • When moving equipment from site to site within Monroe County, decontamination requirements will be at the discretion of the County and will be dependent upon the exotic species that were treated at the previous site and on the nature of the treatment sites. • If decontamination is required by the County then the contractor must utilize a designated decontamination site within Monroe County. The County shall supply the contractor with a list of designated decontamination sites if necessary. Decontamination protocols: • All equipment including but not limited to vehicles,trailer, ATV's, and chippers must be cleaned with a pressure washer(at a County approved facility). Decontamination protocols include spraying down all equipment surfaces including the undercarriage and tires to insure that mud,vegetative debris and other debris is not transported from the previous treatment site. Special attention will be paid to equipment that has worked at sites where Lygodium, Cogon grass and other exotics specific to the mainland were treated to prevent the spread of these species into Monroe County. • Equipment such as chain saws, loppers, etc.used for cut stump treatment must be wiped down and cleaned so that they are free of debris. Prior to the commencement of the project,the contractor and the County Land Steward shall discuss the necessity for a decontamination plan. If the County requires a plan, then the contractor shall submit a brief decontamination plan in writing, to the County for approval. The decontamination plan shall identity specific decontamination procedures and decontamination sites. Decontamination protocols may vary depending upon the nature of the treatment site, type of treatment conducted at the site, and the exotic species that were treated. Failure to comply with decontamination protocols constitutes reason for contract cancellation and dismissal of the Contractor. 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 May 19, 2023. 2434 LOBBYING AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST CLAUSE SWORN STATEMENT UNDER ORDINANCE NO.010-1990 MONROE COUNTY,FLORIDA ETHICS CLAUSE A+Environmental Restoration,LLC " (Company) "...warrants that he/it has not employed, retained or otherwise had act on his/her behalf any former County officer or employee in violation of Section 2 of Ordinance No.0 10-1990 or any County officer or employee in violation of Section 3 of Ordinance No. 010-1990.

Such person or organization is an additional insured only with respect to liability for "bodily injury", "property damage" or"personal and advertising injury" caused, in whole or in part, by: 1.

The acts or omissions of those acting on your behalf, in the performance of your ongoing operations or "your work" as included in the "products-completed operations hazard", which is the subject of the written contract or written agreement. However, the insurance afforded to such additional insured: 1. Only applies to the extent permitted by law; and 2. Will not be broader than that which you are required by the written contract or written agreement to provide for such additional insured. B. With respect to the insurance afforded to these additional insureds, the following additional exclusion applies: This insurance does not apply to: "Bodily injury", "property damage" or"personal and advertising injury" arising out of the rendering of, or failure to render, any professional architectural, engineering or surveying services including: a.

Excess Insurance below applies. b. If this policy is primary, OUR obligations are not affected unless any of the Other Insurance is also primary. Then,WE will share with all other policies by the method described in Paragraph 3. Method of Sharing below.

When this insurance is excess,WE will have no duty under Section II.E.Duty to Defend to defend the INSURED against any SUIT if any other insurer has a Duty to Defend the INSURED against that SUIT. If no other insurer defends, WE will undertake to do so, but WE will be entitled to the INSURED's rights against all those other insurers. c. When this policy is excess over Other Insurance,WE will pay only OUR share of the amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum of: (1) The total amount that all such Other Insurance would pay for the loss in the absence of this policy; and (2) The total of all deductible and self-insured amounts under all that Other Insurance. d. WE will share the remaining loss,if any,with any Other Insurance that is not described in this Excess Insurance provision and was not bought specifically to apply in excess of the Limits Of Insurance shown on the Declarations Page of this policy. 3. Method of Sharing: If all of the Other Insurance permits contribution by equal shares, WE will follow this method also. Under this approach, each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first. If any of the Other Insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares, WE will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer's share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers. L.

If the sum of the deposit and audit premiums paid for the policy period is greater than the earned premium,WE will return the excess to the first NAMED INSURED.

The INSURED must do nothing, after the OCCURRENCE, POLLUTION INCIDENT, or offense to impair them. At OUR request, the INSURED will bring SUIT or transfer those rights to US and help US enforce them.

The Commission must approve all start dates after 30 days of Purchase Order issuance date or change thereof. d. Notify the Site Manager via electronic mail seven(7) days prior to entering the work site. 2.The Contractor is not authorized to perform work on any additional sites or plant species until FWC has fully executed a Change Order for said additional work.Any work performed by the Contractor contrary to the Purchase Order shall be at the Contractor's expense. 3,Ground Crew Supervisors shall be responsible for: a.coordination with the Site Manager on a daily/weekly basis; b.all control activities and safety on project sites; c.ensuring that all contract crews are knowledgeable of,and remain within property and treatment boundaries, d.ensuring that appropriate herbicide labels,Material Safety Data Sheets(MSS),and a copy of the fully executed work order with as are on site; e. ensuring every effort is made to avoid damage to native vegetation and wildlife by training workers on the identification of target plants and"look-alike"native vegetation; f.ensuring adherence to all decontamination protocols. 4. Ground crew supervisors may supervise a maximum of eight(8) field employees at any given time, unless otherwise noted in the Purchase Order,or approved in writing by the Site and Project Managers. The designated supervisor mus jLay wi th. at all times while work is occurring. 5.Ground crew supervisors shall be responsible for the collection,recording,and timely submission of all data and reports required. At regular intervals determined by the Site Manager and at the completion of initial treatment and site reassessment,a complete report will be submitted to the Site Manager in the TIERS database detailing sites treated,cover class of plants, and type of treatment used. This data will be recorded in the Weekly Progress Report (WPR). It is the responsibility of the Contractor to submit complete and correct WPR(s)to the Commission. 6. GPS units will be used to identify and document treatment area boundaries for each day worked. GPS tracks are used for monitoring treatment.Each crew member must carry a Gar in GPS(track setting should collect least often),ora smart phone with an application capable of recording GPX format tracks, Submitting GPS tracks without actually conducting a treatment shall be grounds for default.The Contractor will save project tracks for each project and (if requested) email them to the Site Manager or the Project Manager. etreatment tracks must be emailed to the Site and Project Managers. 7.The Contractor will be allowed to subcontract with a preapproved Subcontractor after prior written or electronic mail approval of the Project Manager. 8.

The Commission's decision as to the overall effectiveness oft a treatment is final.All non-compliance must be resolved within two months of notification,unless otherwise directed or approved by the Commission.If non-compliance is not resolved within two months,the Contractor shall be responsible for treating any and all growth of plants within the non-compliance area. Inspections and non-compliance notifications may occur during or after treatment. Non-compliance re-treatment tracks must be turned into the Project and Site Managers. to to Iq C14 The Three Mots Rule To ensure that the selected Contractor provides the best service to public conservation land managers,the Commission has instituted a "Three Points Rule." Failure to fulfill the responsibilities below shall subject the Contractor to an assessment of points as set forth in this RFP and FWC RFP 13/14-94.An accrual of three points shall cause the Contractor to be ineligible to participate on any quote or project under any Commission Upland Invasive Plant Control Services contract for one calendar year after accrual of the third point.If the infraction is caused by the Contractors'subcontractor, points will be accessed against both parties. If the Contractor has responsibilities for treatment or re-treatments remaining at the time they are pointed out,failure to fulfill those requirements would be grounds for termination rather than suspension unless otherwise stated by the Commission, Each point assessed will affect a contractor's eligibility for three years from the date it was assessed. Upon completion of one year of ineligibility, the Contractor's points reset to zero.Use of the"three points rule"does not preclude the Commission from exercising its rights to terminate for default or convenience.

The purpose of the current project is to maintain the County's properties that have been previously treated for invasive plants and to treat small infestations of exotics. Monroe County has received funding from the Florida Fish&Wildlife Conservation Commission, Invasive Plant Management Section, in the amount of$150,000 to fund an invasive exotic plant technician crew to work on County parcels selected by the Monroe County Land Steward. In addition,the County is providing a local match of$25,000, bringing the total funds available for the project to$175,000(not to exceed). Work must be completed by May 16, 2025. 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 a portion of those properties in the areas identified below(the majority of the sites are within the Lower Keys and Upper Keys areas): Upper Keys: Key Largo;Tavernier Middle Keys: Crawl Key Lower Keys: Sugarloaf Keys;Cudjoe Key; Surnmerland Key; Ramrod Key;Torch Keys;Big Pine Key; West Summerland 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 easily accessed by roads. Work in neighborhoods will require special considerations for safety,noise,and appearance of the property. Level of infestation varies by site,but since most of these sites have been previously treated,most sites will be less than 10%coverage of invasive exotic vegetation. SCOPE OF WORK Contractor must comply with all provisions of Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission's Task Assignment FK-184, attached as Exhibit B. Failure to comply with said provisions constitutes reason for contract cancellation and dismissal of the Contractor. The project consists of the eradication of invasive exotic plant species occurring on selected Monroe County conservation lands,utilizing herbicide as necessary. The work will be completed by the contractor's ground crew comprised of up to four(4)invasive plant technicians(including the crew supervisor). No more than one crew(composed of one crew supervisor and up to 3 technicians)may work at any one time. The contractor will manage the project including the scheduling,subcontracting as necessary, labor,monitoring and reporting progress. Additionally,the contractor will provide all necessary training,equipment, 4 LO 00 Iq C14 supervisory and administrative support for the technician crew. All work is to be completed using hand tools (no heavy equipment required). Work must be performed during normal work hours (between 7:00 am and 5:30 pm),Monday through Friday. No work may occur on weekends or on holidays observed by Monroe County. The County will supply location maps of project sites,including GIS shapefiles. The contractor must have GPS equipment and trained field staff to enable accurate field verification of property boundaries and to provide accurate mapping of areas treated. At the end of the project,the contractor will provide the County with GIS shapefile data indicating the total area surveyed. The contractor will work closely with the County Land Steward to identify sites where only boundary or edge treatments are necessary and sites where a thorough inspection/treatment of the entire site is required. The work requires a knowledgeable crew of technicians who can"sweep"County properties and remove only the invasive exotic plant species found on the sites. The technicians must have demonstrated knowledge in identification of Florida Keys species,both native and exotic,including closely related species. The contracted crew's priorities will include: maintaining previously treated exotic removal sites free of exotics; conducting sweeps of large conservation areas, looking for new infestations; and the removal of small infestations of exotics from recently purchased conservation lands. The contractor shall notify the County Land Steward when it finds infestations of invasive exotics that are either too large for the crew to handle or trees that may be potentially hazardous to remove(i.e. near power lines or neighbors' structures). The contractor shall provide information to the County on the approximate dimensions of the infestation and the location. Target species include: Brazilian pepper(Schinus terebinthifolius); Australian pine(Casuarina spp); lead tree(Leucaena leucocephala); seaside mahoe(Thespesia populnea); scaevola(Scaevola sericea); latherleaf (Colubrina asiatica); Brazilian jasmine(Jasminumfluminense); Guinea grass(Panicum maximum); Washington fan palm(Washingtonia robusta); sapodilla(Manilkara zapota);sea hibiscus(Hibiscus tiliaceus); castor bean(Ricinus communis); wedelia(Sphagneticola trilobata); oyster plant(Tradescantia spathacea);air potato(Dioscorea bulbifera); red sandalwood(Adenthera pavonina);woman's tongue (Albizia lebbeck);tropical almond(Terminalia catappa); green fountain grass(Pennisetum setaceum); asparagus fern(Asparagus aethiopicus);chastetree(Vitex trifiblia)and night-blooming cactus(Hylocereus undatus). These and all other invasive exotic species listed by Florida Invasive Species Council(FISC)will be either hand-pulled,cut and treated,or treated in place with appropriate herbicide. Every effort shall be made to avoid damage to native vegetation and impacts to wildlife. The exotic plant species listed above will be treated according to developed effective control techniques. Depending upon the species treated and the type of habitat, plants may be hand-pulled, treated in place, removed from site,or chipped on site. Decisions regarding specific plant treatment methods on each site will be made by the Land Steward. The contractor is responsible for the treatment and/or removal of all exotic plant species listed, including trees,grasses,groundcovers,and vines, in any life stage(including seedlings). fland removal shall be the preferred method of removal when feasible. When it is not feasible, vegetation may be treated with herbicide and left standing in areas where standing dead timber does not pose a threat to human safety or is not offensive to adjacent neighbors. When cutting is required,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. A machete may not be used to cut trees as it creates a jagged cut; loppers or saws are preferred tools. An appropriate herbicide shall be applied within one(1)minute of stump preparation. Invasive exotic plant species shall be treated with herbicide as follows: 5 to 00 Iq CN Target Species Treatment Method Asiatic colubrina 50%Garlon 3A applied to cut surface immediately after cut or (Colubrinq_Eiatica .. 20%Garlon 4 applied to stump's cut surface and sides Australian pine 50%Garlon 3A applied to cut surface immediately after cut or (Casuarina 1ppl_ 20%Garlon 4 applied to stump's cut surface and sides Beach naupaka 50%Garlon 3A applied to cut surface immediately after cut or (Scaevola sericea) 20%Garlon 4 applied to stump's cut surface and sides Brazilian pepper 50%Garlon 3A applied to cut surface immediately after cut or (�chinus terebinthiLbfius) 20%Garlon 4 applied to stump's cut surface and sides Lead tree 30%Garlon 4 applied to stump's cut surface and sides (Leucaena Seaside mahoe 50%Garlon 3A applied to cut surface immediately upon cutting (Thes 1nea) ,pesia o it night-blooming cactus and pull entire plant and physically remove all material from the (ffylocereus undatits) site bowstring hemp Cut and remove blade;treat cut base with 10%glyphosate (Sansevieria hyacinthoides) Technicians shall utilize quart-sized,chemical resistant spray bottles,such as"Spray aster"bottles(or similar),for herbicide application. The contents must be clearly labeled on the outside of the bottle. A dye shall be used to facilitate identification of treated stems. Herbicides will be applied using a low-pressure spray to minimize drift and non-target damage. Any additional treatment methods or changes to the methods listed above must be pre-approved by the County Land Steward. All mature (brown)lead tree(Leucaena leucocephala)seeds and air potato(Dioscorea bulbiftra)will be bagged and left on the site for disposal by the County. All vegetative material from bowstring hemp (Sansevieria hyacinthoides)and night-blooming cactus(Hylocereus undatus) must be physically removed. Resulting plant material may either be bagged or neatly piled on site(adjacent to the road)for County pick up. The contractor may utilize a chipper(not required). Any mulch created will be disposed of in one of the following ways(as determined by the County Land Steward): 1. Spread evenly across the site; or 2. Removed from the site by the Contractor,at no expense to the County for the removal(if the Contractor wants the mulch for their own purposes); or 3. Neatly piled on the site by the contractor and removed from the site by the County(if Land Steward determines that on-site disposal is not an option). The Contractor will not be required to transport off-site or pay forte disposal of any vegetative waste created by the project,unless the Contractor desires to keep the mulch. The Contractor will provide all necessary equipment to complete the project including(but not limited to) hand tools,chainsaws,chippers(not required),vehicles, sprayers,garbage bags and personal protective equipment. The Contractor will also provide all materials for treatment(including herbicide and adjuvants) and ensure proper disposal of herbicide and adjuvant containers and will strictly adhere to all herbicide label application,precautionary,and safety statements. The Contractors all be paid according tote hourly rates established in the contract for each type of on-site employee. No compensation shall be paid for travel time to and from the work site. The project is complete when the total cost per hour reaches$175,000 or on May 16,2025,whichever occurs first. There are no reimbursable expenses. 6 I 00 Iq CN 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.

Crew supervisors must be bilingual if their crew includes non-English speakers. They also must meet with the County Land Steward on a regular basis to discuss the progress of the project and to determine priority areas for treatment. The supervisor shall complete"Daily Progress Reports for Invasive Plant Control"and will submit the completed forms to the County every two weeks at a minimum. The term"technician"is used to imply specialized knowledge of invasive exotic plant control. All technicians working on the crew must have training in plant identification(specifically Keys' species)and herbicide application methods. Preference may be given to contractors with highly trained crews,including those that have herbicide licensed crew members(in the category listed above). The contractor must hold a valid Monroe County business tax receipt. Additional plant treatment or removal and nonplant 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. According to the County's formal agreement with Florida Fish&Wildlife Conservation Commission, contractors working on invasive exotic removal projects must adhere to the following protocol: • Mandatory decontamination protocols must be followed for vehicles and equipment prior to entering Monroe County from areas outside of the County. • When moving equipment from site to site within Monroe County,decontamination requirements will be at the discretion of the County and will be dependent upon the exotic species that were treated at the previous site and on the nature of the treatment sites. • If decontamination is required by the County then the contractor must utilize a designated decontamination site within Monroe County. The County shall supply the contractor with a list of designated decontamination sites if necessary. Decontamination protocols: • All equipment including but not limited to vehicles,trailer,ATVs,and chippers must be cleaned with a pressure washer(at a County approved facility). Decontamination protocols include spraying down all equipment surfaces including the undercarriage and tires to insure that mud, vegetative debris and other debris is not transported from the previous treatment site. Special attention will be paid to equipment 7 00 00 Iq CN that has worked at sites where Lygodium,Cogon grass and other exotics specific to the mainland were treated to prevent the spread of these species into Monroe County. • Equipment such as chain saws, loppers,etc. used for cut stump treatment must be wiped down and cleaned so that they are free of debris. Prior to the commencement of the project,the contractor and the County Land Steward shall discuss the necessity for a decontamination plan. If the County requires a plan,then the contractor shall submit a brief decontamination plan in writing,to the County for approval.The decontamination plan shall identity specific decontamination procedures and decontamination sites. Decontamination protocols may vary depending upon the nature of the treatment site,type of treatment conducted at the site,and the exotic species that were treated. Failure to comply with decontamination protocols constitutes reason for contract cancellation and dismissal of the Contractor. 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 May 16,2025. 8 DATE(MM/DD/YYYY) ACCOR" CERTIFICATE OF LIABILITY INSURANCE 9/17/2024 THIS CERTIFICATE IS ISSUED AS A MATTER OF INFORMATION ONLY AND CONFERS NO RIGHTS UPON THE CERTIFICATE HOLDER.

Method of Sharing: If all of the Other Insurance permits contribution by equal shares, WE will follow this method also. Under this approach, each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first. If any of the Other Insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares, WE will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer's share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers. L.
