Measurement and Payment Treated areas will be measured to the nearest 0.1 acre and paid at the unit price bid on the Bid Schedule Item 5. The price bid shall include all costs for labor, materials, equipment and all other items necessary for application of the BFM as described in these specifications. TASK 6 TREE AND SHRUJ PLANTING Containerized trees and shrubs, which may be bare root, cuttings oT- containerized, or any combination of these, may be planted along the Mine 4 bench, located just above the project area slopes, and at the base of the slopes. This Task is NOT guaranteed, and will be completed only at the direction of PROJECT MANAGER, who will delineate the planting areas in the field. OWNER will provide trees, shrubs, sun shades and polyacrylamide. CONTRACTOR will provide necessary tools and equipment to accomplish planting specifications. The tree planting portion of the project will involve establishment of seedling trees on the mine benches, which are located at an elevation of about 10,000 feet. The goal of the project is to plant 200 trees per acre on approximately four (4) acres. Trees will be planted in a random pattern by using a'hoe dad' or similar tool to excavate an approximately twelve inch deep hole in the soil. A seedling previously soaked in water containing polyacrylamide, a root stimulator, will be placed roots first into the hole. Soil will be packed around the roots of the seedlings. A small water containment berm, eighteen inches in circumference and six inches in height, will be constructed around each seedling. A small sun shade, such as a piece of cedar shake, will be placed on edge on the south side of each seedling to provide shade. The tree and shrub planting portion of the project will occur at the base of the mine bench outslopes. The base of the outslopes are generally located at an elevation of about 9,500 feet. The tree and shrub planting portion of the project will be completed at the base of the Mine 4 outslopes. The purpose of this phase of the project is to slow water draining from the outslopes, and to retain sediment which is transported by the runoff. Approximately three (3) acres will be impacted by this project. Access to these areas will be involve travel by foot. It is anticipated that 300 seedling tree— will be planted per acre using the techniques described above. Additionally, 300 shrubs per acre will be planted in a random pattern to compliment the tree planting. These will be planted in a similar manner as the trees, except that a sun shade is not necessary. 14
