Invasive Plant Species Removal (Arundo donax Abatement)

Riverside County has issued a subcontract for the manual and mechanical removal of Arundo donax, an invasive grass species, along riverbanks within the county. The work aims to restore native vegetation, improve ecosystem health, and mitigate the heightened fire risk associated with the dense, dry biomass of Arundo donax. Contractors will be expected to conduct field operations using both hand tools and mechanical equipment to safely and effectively eliminate the invasive plant across targeted riparian areas. The project aligns with environmental management goals under NAICS code 562910, which covers remediation and other waste management services. Work is scheduled to begin after the subcontract is awarded, with performance taking place in riverbank zones throughout Riverside County, though specific locations are not detailed in the posting.
