Agenda 07/09/2019 Item #16D 7 (FFWCC Invasive Plant Funding Assistance)07/09/2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the electronic submittal of a funding assistance proposal to the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Invasive Plant Management Section for
contractor services worth $100,000 during FY2020 to treat invasive exotic vegetation within
Conservation Collier’s Dr. Robert H. Gore III and McIlvane Marsh Preserves.
OBJECTIVE: To maintain Conservation Collier Program preserves free of invasive, exotic plants.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Invasive Plant Management Section (IPMS) of the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Commission (FWC) funds individual invasive plant removal projects on public conservation lands
throughout the State. If funding assistance is received, IPMS will pay State contractors to treat invasive,
exotic plants within Dr. Robert H. Gore III preserve ($50,000) and McIlvane Marsh preserve ($50,000)
during FY 2020 - work worth a total of $100,000. No funds will be transferred to Collier County. If
funding assistance is awarded, a formal agreement between the Board of County Commissioners (Board)
and the State will not be required for the projects to proceed.
FISCAL IMPACT: If funding assistance is awarded, it will save the Conservation Collier Program
approximately $100,000, which is proposed for exotic plant treatment within the Dr. Robert H. Gore III
and McIlvane Marsh Preserves in the FY20 Conservation Collier Land Management Fund (174) budget.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This proposal supports Objectives 6.2 and 7.3 of the
Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the County Growth Management Plan, which requires
the County to protect and conserve wetlands and the natural functions of wetlands and continue to
implement programs that conserve and protect endangered and threatened wildlife species.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This Item is approved for form and legality and requires majority vote
for approval. -JAB
RECOMMENDATION: To approve the electronic submittal of a funding assistance proposal to the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Invasive Plant Management Section for contractor
services during FY 2020 to treat invasive exotic vegetation within the Dr. Robert H. Gore III and
McIlvane Marsh Preserves.

Maintenance
Current Fiscal Year Area Maintenance Plan
Dr. Robert H. Gore III Preserve will be treated on an annual basis for 2-3 years until the initial treatment units will enter
into a 2-3 year maintenance rotation based on inspections.
Restoration Plan for Native Plants
This site will be re-vegetated by existing on-site native species.
Funding and Labor Source for Follow-up Treatments
Funding for follow-up treatments are available within the Conservation Collier long-term budget, however, occassional
funding from FWC stretches maintenance dollars that are solely generated through currently, very low interest rates.
Specifications
STANDARD Work Specifications
Contractor shall begin treatment where directed by the Site Manager and shall proceed in a systematic manner across
contiguous areas to ensure 100% of target vegetation is treated. Contractor will treat each target species by the most
effective method, such as basal bark or cut stump for trees and shrubs, and foliar for ferns, vines, and grasses. Small
seedlings/saplings may be hand-pulled and bagged, or hung on branches of surrounding trees. Pulled seedlings/saplings
should never be left on the ground. Climbing ferns and vines over six feet tall should be treated by the “poodlecut”
method. Contractor shall follow all label directions for applied herbicides. The label is the law. All herbicide mixes should
contain the adjuvant(s) necessary to ensure an effective treatment. A marker dye should be included in all tank mixes.
Contractor shall be liable for unacceptable non-target damage to native plant species. Disposal of plant material will be
in accordance with the SOW, which may include offsite dumping and tipping fees.Contractor shall supply all
transportation, chemicals, labor, and equipment necessary to accomplish the work assigned, unless otherwise stated in
the SOW (e.g., chemicals may be provided to Contractor). Contractor shall fully complete a Weekly Progress Report
(WPR) for all time worked on site and shall submit the WPR to the Site Manager (or designee) for signature at a
predetermined time and place. GPS tracks of each treatment area shall be recorded by Contractor and provided to the
Site Manager and/or the Commission upon request. Contractor will be responsible for security of work areas, such as
closing and locking gates during and after work hours. Contractor shall decontaminant all equipment before entering or
leaving the project area, to ensure that no propagules or reproductive material is transported between treatment sites
or managed areas.
Equipment Considerations
Two limerock roads transect the entire preserve area from east to west along the center and southern boundary line of
the treatment unit. Site is seasonally inundated from mid-June- November. No trails exist within the preserve currently.
Other Requirements and Provisions
Water source or equipment storage areas not available on-site.

Specifications
STANDARD Work Specifications
Contractor shall begin treatment where directed by the Site Manager and shall proceed in a systematic manner across
contiguous areas to ensure 100% of target vegetation is treated. Contractor will treat each target species by the most
effective method, such as basal bark or cut stump for trees and shrubs, and foliar for ferns, vines, and grasses. Small
seedlings/saplings may be hand-pulled and bagged, or hung on branches of surrounding trees. Pulled seedlings/saplings
should never be left on the ground. Climbing ferns and vines over six feet tall should be treated by the “poodlecut”
method. Contractor shall follow all label directions for applied herbicides. The label is the law. All herbicide mixes should
contain the adjuvant(s) necessary to ensure an effective treatment. A marker dye should be included in all tank mixes.
Contractor shall be liable for unacceptable non-target damage to native plant species. Disposal of plant material will be
in accordance with the SOW, which may include offsite dumping and tipping fees.Contractor shall supply all
transportation, chemicals, labor, and equipment necessary to accomplish the work assigned, unless otherwise stated in
the SOW (e.g., chemicals may be provided to Contractor). Contractor shall fully complete a Weekly Progress Report
(WPR) for all time worked on site and shall submit the WPR to the Site Manager (or designee) for signature at a
predetermined time and place. GPS tracks of each treatment area shall be recorded by Contractor and provided to the
Site Manager and/or the Commission upon request. Contractor will be responsible for security of work areas, such as
closing and locking gates during and after work hours. Contractor shall decontaminant all equipment before entering or
leaving the project area, to ensure that no propagules or reproductive material is transported between treatment sites
or managed areas.
Equipment Considerations
Two limerock roads transect the entire preserve area from east to west along the center and southern boundary line of
the treatment unit. Site is seasonally inundated from mid-June- November. No trails exist within the preserve currently.
Other Requirements and Provisions
Water source or equipment storage areas not available on-site.

STANDARD Work Specifications
Contractor shall begin treatment where directed by the Site Manager and shall proceed in a systematic manner across
contiguous areas to ensure 100% of target vegetation is treated. Contractor will treat each target species by the most
effective method, such as basal bark or cut stump for trees and shrubs, and foliar for ferns, vines, and grasses. Small
seedlings/saplings may be hand-pulled and bagged, or hung on branches of surrounding trees. Pulled seedlings/saplings
should never be left on the ground. Climbing ferns and vines over six feet tall should be treated by the “poodlecut”
method. Contractor shall follow all label directions for applied herbicides. The label is the law. All herbicide mixes should
contain the adjuvant(s) necessary to ensure an effective treatment. A marker dye should be included in all tank mixes.
Contractor shall be liable for unacceptable non-target damage to native plant species. Disposal of plant material will be
in accordance with the SOW, which may include offsite dumping and tipping fees.Contractor shall supply all
transportation, chemicals, labor, and equipment necessary to accomplish the work assigned, unless otherwise stated in
the SOW (e.g., chemicals may be provided to Contractor). Contractor shall fully complete a Weekly Progress Report
(WPR) for all time worked on site and shall submit the WPR to the Site Manager (or designee) for signature at a
predetermined time and place. GPS tracks of each treatment area shall be recorded by Contractor and provided to the
Site Manager and/or the Commission upon request. Contractor will be responsible for security of work areas, such as
closing and locking gates during and after work hours. Contractor shall decontaminant all equipment before entering or
leaving the project area, to ensure that no propagules or reproductive material is transported between treatment sites
or managed areas.
Equipment Considerations
