Green Lakes State Park Phragmites Treatment

New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) seeks non-native invasive plant (NNIP) herbicide treatments at Green Lakes State Park (Town of Manlius, Onondaga County).  A contractor is sought to treat phragmites in areas around Green Lake, beach parking lots and associated boardwalk beach access path.  Total approximate acreage of phragmites to be treated is 1.5 acres.  The method of treatment for phragmites will include backpack sprayer, boom sprayer, or approved equal in infested areas.  All application will be done with an herbicide that can be used in a wetland area.  NOTE: Parks staff will work in tandem with the herbicide applicator to cut the phragmite ahead of the treatment to increase effectiveness of treatment and reduce overall cost. The preferred herbicides to be used would be either Accord, Accord Concentrate, or Rodeo. Rodeo lists all species to be treated either on the herbicide specimen label or on a 2ee permit in New York; Accord (or Accord Concentrate) would be acceptable only if the contractor knows of or can obtain suitable 2ee permits. All species should be treated during full leaf-out, at whatever time would provide most effective control. All treatments should be reported to OPRHP in a spreadsheet, in addition to being reported to the state of New York, as required by law. Bid documents are attached to this notice.
