Responses to this Sources Sought Synopsis will be used by the Government to make appropriate acquisition planning decisions. The following are general capabilities required to perform the Performance Work Statement according to USACE standards. General Project Description: Location of the work to be performed shall be within Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM) Yakima Training Center (YTC) of Washington State. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform Range Area Noxious Weed Control. Performance Work Statement: The Contractor shall provide season long control of designated weeds (undesirable vegetation) associated with Mil-Class 2 Roads. Designated weeds may entail all vegetation (e.g., control of all vegetation within the treatment area), or select control of specific species or classes of vegetation (e.g., broadleaf weeds). There are approximately 96 miles of Mil-Class 2 roads on YTC. Control efforts (herbicide treatments) along those roads shall address undesirable vegetation that occurs along both sides of the roads, to an average swath width of 8 feet along both sides of the road. Total swath width treated per mile will average 16 feet (8 feet per side of road). This equates to approximately 1.94 acres of treatment area per lineal mile of road. Herbicide treatments will be directed outward of the wearing surface to an average width of eight feet beyond the edge of the road (this includes the borrow ditch). There may be instances where undesirable vegetation may occur on the outer edges of the wearing surface of the road; the contractor is expected to control that vegetation. Total estimated annual acreage that could be treated each year includes an overall area of approximately 40 acres, or 20.6 miles at 1.94 acres per mile. b.
