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. Prepared By: Melissa Hennig, Senior Environmental Specialist, Parks and Recreation Division ATTACHMENT(S) 1.

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. Threatened, etc. Species Plants:Royal fern (Osmunda regalis),tillandsia sp.
