This government Request for Proposal (RFP) outlines a five-year contract (2025-2030) for vegetation spraying and removal services on approximately 33 miles of levees within the Jackson Levee Project near Jackson, Wyoming. The contractor will be responsible for eradicating woody vegetation less than six feet tall, removing designated taller vegetation and treating stumps, and eradicating noxious weeds across three distinct zones. Key requirements include adherence to environmental protection, fish and wildlife preservation protocols (e.g., avoiding eagle and migratory bird nesting areas, maintaining buffers for bears and wolves), and strict pesticide application Best Management Practices (BMPs). The contract mandates a rigorous quality control program, detailed reporting (daily, monthly, incident, and pesticide application records), and compliance with federal, state, and local safety regulations, including the use of E-Verify for personnel. The contractor must furnish all labor, equipment, supplies, and approved pesticides, and meet specific performance standards with reapplication at their own expense if Acceptable Quality Levels (AQLs) are not met.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District, is soliciting proposals for "LEVEE VEGETATION SPRAYING III" along the Snake River in Wyoming, specifically targeting the Jackson Hole Levees, from 2025 to 2030. This project, identified by Solicitation No. W912EF26QA013, involves the spraying of woody vegetation less than 6 feet in height across various levee sections, including the JY Ranch, Solitude, Nelson, Lucas, Hanson, Gros Ventre, Walton Quarry, John Dodge, Public, Morgan, Federal Extension, Imeson, Taylor, Sewell, Evans, Southpark, and Game & Fish levees. The document provides detailed maps of northern and southern levee locations, outlines typical levee sections with and without water against them, and categorizes vegetation into three classes within defined spraying zones (Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 3). The objective is to manage vegetation on these critical flood control structures to ensure their integrity and functionality.
