Page 11 of 14 Once the vegetation has been cut, it will be placed in slash piles at a minimum distance of 100 feet from any vent or thrown over the cliff at the bottom of the vegetation clearing area. Any vegetation thrown over the cliff will be removed from a 100 foot diameter area identified by the Project Manager due to the presence of a vent near the base of the cliff. Measurement for Payment Payment for this task will be made at the unit price established in Item 4.0 of the Bid Schedule. Measurement for payment will be made per acre of cleared vegetation, to the nearest 0.1 acre. Payment for this item will be upon completion and approval by the Project Manager. Such payment shall be considered full compensation for all labor, materials, equipment and all other items necessary and incidental to the completion of Bid Item 4.0. ITEM 5.0 – HERBICIDE APPLICATION The purpose of this item is to apply a pre-emergent herbicide to the areas from which vegetation was removed. The treatment area will coincide with the area from which vegetation was cleared in bid item 4.0. Approximately two acres will be treated. Note that Contractor, or approved sub-contractor and all applicators must be licensed as required by the Colorado Department of Agriculture. Proof of licensure must be provided to Owner upon issuance of the Notice to Proceed. The following herbicides (or equivalent) and rates will be used as follows: • Plainview @ 48 oz/acre • Glyphosate @ 2 qts/acre Liquid herbicide is preferred for use in this project, however, in areas where liquid application by spraying is not feasible, powdered or pellet herbicide may be used. Dye must be used throughout the liquid application process. The above listed herbicides must be evenly and uniformly distributed over the entire ground surface within the perimeter of the vegetation clearing area. Please NOTE that dye MUST be added to the herbicides throughout the application process to ensure uniform delivery. The application area will exactly coincide with the areas cleared. Contractor will be responsible for properly securing chemicals until project completion. Contractor will apply the herbicides at the rate of application stated above. Contractor must provide all equipment, chemicals and labor and materials necessary to accomplish application. Treatment using conventional application methods, such as spraying from truck, all-terrain vehicle or backpack mounted equipment is acceptable, given the access limitations described above. Aerial application is NOT permitted.
