hour. CONTRACTOR must provide a wind speed measurement device, and maintain it in an operating condition throughout the duration of the Project. CONTRACTOR shall keep thorough and accurate records throughout the duration of the Project. Records shall indicate material applied, dilution factor, application rate per acre, ambient air temperature (at 9:00 a.m., noon and 3:00 p.m.) and wind speed (at 9:00 a.m., noon, 3:00 and 5:00 p.m.). CONTRACTOR shall conform to all applicable environmental and safety standards given application methods, duration and products. CONTRACTOR shall not clean and dispose of unused or remnant materials in a manner which is deemed to be deleterious to environmental resources of the area. Failure to conform to these specifications shall result in immediate suspension of contract. Because the infested areas are adjacent to public use areas, CONTRACTOR shall post three (3) signs at the Project Area in locations specified by Project Manager. The signs will be posted five (5) days in advance of each treatment. CONTRACTOR will remove the signs following completion of the Project. The signs shall include the following information: Notice of intent to apply weed control chemicals; Warning not to enter area the day of application; Estimated date of application; Common name of material to be applied; Contractor name and phone number; "Project administered by Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology. For more information call (970) 241 -0336 or (303) 866 - 3567." Additionally, small plastic warning signs shall be posted at three hundred feet (300') intervals along the roads which traverse the Project Area. These signs shall be posted at the time of application, and shall be removed by CONTRACTOR no sooner than 24 hours following application. Other CONTRACTORS may be working in and near the Project Area during performance of this Project. CONTRACTOR is cautioned to be aware of heavy equipment, as well as hand laborers, and is advised to coordinate activities with others to the extent that becomes necessary. PROJECT MANAGER will assist in this regard. Measurement and Payment Measurement for payment will include monitoring of random sample plots for target species kill rates following each application. The same sample plots will also be monitored for survival of non - target species. Payment will be adjusted according to the following tables, should monitoring indicate that the specifications were not met. CONTRACTOR will be notified of the sampling date, and is encouraged to attend. Should a disagreement occur regarding the outcome of the sampling, the disputed sample plots will be re- monitored. Results of the second sampling after each application, regardless of the outcome, shall be binding on both parties. CONTRACTOR will assume the cost for the second sampling. 5
