Scope of Work, Scheduling and Estimate
Weed control will be necessary throughout this 24.91-acre project area, both before
construction begins and after the final vegetation/landscaping is installed. This estimate is
based on a three-year weed management program for the project site. This estimate is being
submitted without having seen the project site in person.
Controlling invasive and noxious plant species will likely be accomplished most efficiently with
two to three separate herbicide applications throughout each growing season. One should
occur earlier in May and the second in July to target broadleaf weeds. Cheatgrass would be best
controlled from an herbicide application in the fall of year one, but this application will not be
necessary years two and three. This area may also benefit from mowing, the timing of which
will be based on plant species needing management focus – lingering broadleaf weeds could be
suppressed by mowing later in the summer, smooth brome or cheatgrass could be suppressed
by mowing as it’s trying to grow earlier in the spring, etc. This estimate will account for three
applications year one, including two broadleaf herbicide applications and one cheatgrass
control application, along with one round of supplemental mowing to assist in the management
of noxious/invasive species. Years two and three will be the same, minus the cheatgrass control
application. After construction is complete, it would be wise to budget for one or two herbicide
applications each year and one round of mowing in order to maintain the natural areas on this
project site.
