The document is a purchase specification for the control of oak wilt by trenching the root system of infected live oaks on the City of Austin's Balcones Canyonlands Preserve (BCP). The document includes information on the scope and classification of the project, applicable specifications, contractor requirements, and additional information. The purpose of the trenching is to isolate live oak trees infected with the oak wilt fungus to prevent further spread of the infection. The document also provides detailed maps for the Hanks tract, Double J&T tract, and the Barton Creek Wilderness Area. It specifies that services should comply with City of Austin's codes and ordinances, OSHA guidelines, and EPA requirements. Contractors interested in the project must attend a mandatory pre-bid meeting and all site visits. The site conditions are described as rugged with poor road conditions, and the contractor is responsible for providing and maintaining all necessary equipment. The project must be completed within 8 weeks, and the contractor must minimize disturbance of the soil surface and herbaceous vegetation. Hand-digging is required under and around existing infrastructure. The document also includes requirements for fire extinguishers, spill notification and cleanup, damage repair, qualified supervisors and workers, employee identification, and conduct on the work site. The contractor is responsible for trenching specific linear feet on each tract, clearing vegetation, disinfecting cutting tools, and sealing oak wounds. They are also responsible for notifying appropriate agencies and locating public utilities.
