Invasive Plant Species Removal and Disposal

The City of Truckee has initiated a subcontract to identify, remove, and properly dispose of invasive plant species, including cheatgrass and yellow starthistle, from roadside areas within the 96161 zip code region. The primary objective is to halt the ecological spread of these noxious plants, which threaten native vegetation and increase wildfire risks. Work will focus on strategic roadside locations where infestations are most prevalent, requiring diligent surveying, manual or mechanical eradication, and environmentally compliant disposal methods. The project is classified under NAICS code 541620, indicating it falls under environmental consulting and related services, and was posted on June 10, 2026. All activities must adhere to local regulations and ecological best practices to ensure long-term habitat restoration and prevent reinfestation.
