Agenda 06/22/2021 Item #16D 2 (FFWCC Invasive Plant Management Funding Assistance)06/22/2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve the electronic submittal of funding assistance proposals to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Invasive Plant Management Section for contractor services worth $210,000 during FY 2022 to treat invasive exotic vegetation within Conservation Collier’s Pepper Ranch, Rattlesnake Hammock, and McIlvane Marsh Preserves. OBJECTIVE: To maintain the 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 Pepper Ranch Preserve ($110,000), Rattlesnake Hammock Preserve ($50,000), and McIlvane Marsh Preserve ($50,000) during FY 2022; work worth a total of $210,000. 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 $210,000, which is proposed for exotic plant treatment within the Pepper Ranch, Rattlesnake Hammock, and McIlvane Marsh Preserves in the FY22 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 funding assistance proposals t o the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Invasive Plant Management Section for contractor services during FY 2022 to treat invasive exotic vegetation within the Pepper Ranch, Rattlesnake Hammock, and McIlvane Marsh Preserves.

There is scattered lygodium throughout and a seed source to address. Total Treatment Acres:722.00 Maintenance Current Fiscal Year Area Maintenance Plan Pepper Ranch Preserve Maintenance treatments will continue every 2-3 years on all three management units within the Pepper Ranch Preserve. This will be done with Conservation Collier Management Funds in Phase 2 and 3 and with possible funding assistance for Phase 1. If assistance cannot be granted for Phase 1 then Conservation Collier Management Funds will be utilized for Phase 1 on a 3 year rotation. Phase I was last treated in January 2019. Phase 2 was treated in 2021 and Phase 3 was treated in 2020 and 2021. Restoration Plan for Native Plants Native plants from the site and the surrounding lands provide an adequate seed source to re-vegetate the area. Because the site is within a managed preserve with few exotic upland plants present, no replanting efforts are being planned at this time. Funding and Labor Source for Follow-up Treatments Monitoring and maintenance will continue in perpetuity by Collier County staff assigned to Pepper Ranch Preserve. Future maintenance treatments will be conducted with Collier County Conservation Collier budgeted funds or grant awards. 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. When girdling trees that are to be left standing, unless directed otherwise in writing, the girdling cuts may not be done in such a manner that structurally weakens the tree. 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) via TIERS. GPS tracks of each treatment area shall be recorded by Contractor and provided to the Site Manager and the Commission weekly. Contractor will be responsible for security of work areas, such as closing and locking gates during and after work hours. Contractor shall decontaminate all equipment before entering or leaving the project area to ensure that no propagules or reproductive materials are transported between treatment sites or managed areas. If the project specifications include 2 treatments of grasses, the second treatment may not be conducted until the expected regrowth is at least 1.5 feet high, or in shorter-length grass species, until the expected regrowth is at least 60% of the total expected leaf blade length. Equipment Considerations • The Contractor shall require all personnel to practice proper decontamination procedures for all equipment (including protective gear) to avoid unnecessary spreading of invasive species within and from project site. • Herbicides can be mixed on dirt roads throughout the property. ORVs can be used in dry upland areas and trucks may access the project area via main roads Other Requirements and Provisions • There is a security gate under video surveillance.  Must obtain the gate code for the project. No working on Saturdays or Sundays during public hunts.  Water is available at the Visitor’s Center and can be drafted from canals or ponds throughout the property. Threatened, etc. Species The following listed species have been observed at the Pepper Ranch property: Florida Panther, Gopher Tortoise, Audubon's Crested Caracara, FL Bonneted Bat, Am. alligator and wood stork.

There is scattered lygodium throughout and a seed source to address. Total Treatment Acres:722.00 Maintenance Current Fiscal Year Area Maintenance Plan Pepper Ranch Preserve Maintenance treatments will continue every 2-3 years on all three management units within the Pepper Ranch Preserve. This will be done with Conservation Collier Management Funds in Phase 2 and 3 and with possible funding assistance for Phase 1. If assistance cannot be granted for Phase 1 then Conservation Collier Management Funds will be utilized for Phase 1 on a 3 year rotation. Phase I was last treated in January 2019. Phase 2 was treated in 2021 and Phase 3 was treated in 2020 and 2021. Restoration Plan for Native Plants Native plants from the site and the surrounding lands provide an adequate seed source to re-vegetate the area. Because the site is within a managed preserve with few exotic upland plants present, no replanting efforts are being planned at this time. Funding and Labor Source for Follow-up Treatments Monitoring and maintenance will continue in perpetuity by Collier County staff assigned to Pepper Ranch Preserve. Future maintenance treatments will be conducted with Collier County Conservation Collier budgeted funds or grant awards. 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. When girdling trees that are to be left standing, unless directed otherwise in writing, the girdling cuts may not be done in such a manner that structurally weakens the tree. 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) via TIERS. GPS tracks of each treatment area shall be recorded by Contractor and provided to the Site Manager and the Commission weekly. Contractor will be responsible for security of work areas, such as closing and locking gates during and after work hours. Contractor shall decontaminate all equipment before entering or leaving the project area to ensure that no propagules or reproductive materials are transported between treatment sites or managed areas. If the project specifications include 2 treatments of grasses, the second treatment may not be conducted until the expected regrowth is at least 1.5 feet high, or in shorter-length grass species, until the expected regrowth is at least 60% of the total expected leaf blade length. Equipment Considerations • The Contractor shall require all personnel to practice proper decontamination procedures for all equipment (including protective gear) to avoid unnecessary spreading of invasive species within and from project site. • Herbicides can be mixed on dirt roads throughout the property. ORVs can be used in dry upland areas and trucks may access the project area via main roads Other Requirements and Provisions • There is a security gate under video surveillance.  Must obtain the gate code for the project. No working on Saturdays or Sundays during public hunts.  Water is available at the Visitor’s Center and can be drafted from canals or ponds throughout the property. Threatened, etc. Species The following listed species have been observed at the Pepper Ranch property: Florida Panther, Gopher Tortoise, Audubon's Crested Caracara, FL Bonneted Bat, Am. alligator and wood stork.

Contractor will treat each target species by the mosteffective method, such as basal bark or cut stump for trees and shrubs, and foliar for ferns, vines, and grasses. Smallseedlings/saplings may be hand-pulled and bagged, or hung on branches of surrounding trees. Pulled seedlings/saplingsshould never be left on the ground. Climbing ferns and vines over six feet tall should be treated by the “poodle­cut”method. When girdling trees that are to be left standing, unless directed otherwise in writing, the girdling cuts may notbe done in such a manner that structurally weakens the tree. Contractor shall follow all label directions for appliedherbicides. The label is the law. All herbicide mixes should contain the adjuvant(s) necessary to ensure an effectivetreatment. A marker dye should be included in all tank mixes. Contractor shall be liable for unacceptable non-targetdamage to native plant species.

Restoration Plan for Native Plants 0.5 acres of Brazilian Pepper Monoculture that was mechanically removed in FY21 have been replanted with native understory/canopy species. Wetland 1 and 2 exist within the project area. Collier County will be restoring herbaceous cover of wetlands with supplemental native plantings. Unit 2 Melaleuca Mechanical removal (2.75 acres) will be replanted by Collier County following treatment to restore native canopy and understory of the site The remaining portion of the units will be re-vegetated by existing on-site native species. Funding and Labor Source for Follow-up Treatments Funding for maintenance treatments exists within the Conservation Collier Management Fund. Follow-up maintenance treatments will be conducted on a 1-2 year basis in perpetuity by Collier County contractors/ staff spot treatments. 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. When girdling trees that are to be left standing, unless directed otherwise in writing, the girdling cuts may not be done in such a manner that structurally weakens the tree. 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) via TIERS. GPS tracks of each treatment area shall be recorded by Contractor and provided to the Site Manager and the Commission weekly. Contractor will be responsible for security of work areas, such as closing and locking gates during and after work hours. Contractor shall decontaminate all equipment before entering or leaving the project area to ensure that no propagules or reproductive materials are transported between treatment sites or managed areas. If the project specifications include 2 treatments of grasses, the second treatment may not be conducted until the expected regrowth is at least 1.5 feet high, or in shorter-length grass species, until the expected regrowth is at least 60% of the total expected leaf blade length. Equipment Considerations A 3000 ft UTV access trail exists within the preserve. The eastern boundary is accessible by pickup truck through a mowed access easement road. Treatment must occur between sunrise-sunset due to the neighborhood location of the preserve. A gated parking area will be available for crews for staging at the entrance to the preserve. No water access exists on site. Other Requirements and Provisions The preserve wetlands are inundated from June-October. The preserve is gated, an access code will be provided to contractors.

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. When girdling trees that are to be left standing, unless directed otherwise in writing, the girdling cuts may not be done in such a manner that structurally weakens the tree. 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) via TIERS. GPS tracks of each treatment area shall be recorded by Contractor and provided to the Site Manager and the Commission weekly. Contractor will be responsible for security of work areas, such as closing and locking gates during and after work hours. Contractor shall decontaminate all equipment before entering or leaving the project area to ensure that no propagules or reproductive materials are transported between treatment sites or managed areas. If the project specifications include 2 treatments of grasses, the second treatment may not be conducted until the expected regrowth is at least 1.5 feet high, or in shorter-length grass species, until the expected regrowth is at least 60% of the total expected leaf blade length.

Grants and funding assistance will alsobe sought to offset maintenance costs.SpecificationsSTANDARD Work SpecificationsContractor shall begin treatment where directed by the Site Manager and shall proceed in a systematic manner acrosscontiguous areas to ensure 100% of target vegetation is treated. Contractor will treat each target species by the mosteffective method, such as basal bark or cut stump for trees and shrubs, and foliar for ferns, vines, and grasses. Smallseedlings/saplings may be hand-pulled and bagged, or hung on branches of surrounding trees. Pulled seedlings/saplingsshould never be left on the ground. Climbing ferns and vines over six feet tall should be treated by the “poodle­cut”method. When girdling trees that are to be left standing, unless directed otherwise in writing, the girdling cuts may notbe done in such a manner that structurally weakens the tree. Contractor shall follow all label directions for appliedherbicides. The label is the law. All herbicide mixes should contain the adjuvant(s) necessary to ensure an effectivetreatment. A marker dye should be included in all tank mixes. Contractor shall be liable for unacceptable non-targetdamage to native plant species. Disposal of plant material will be in accordance with the SOW, which may include offsitedumping and tipping fees. Contractor shall supply all transportation, chemicals, labor, and equipment necessary toaccomplish 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 tothe Site Manager (or designee) via TIERS. GPS tracks of each treatment area shall be recorded by Contractor andprovided to the Site Manager and the Commission weekly. Contractor will be responsible for security of work areas, suchas closing and locking gates during and after work hours. Contractor shall decontaminate all equipment before enteringor leaving the project area to ensure that no propagules or reproductive materials are transported between treatmentsites or managed areas. If the project specifications include 2 treatments of grasses, the second treatment may not beconducted until the expected regrowth is at least 1.5 feet high, or in shorter-length grass species, until the expectedregrowth is at least 60% of the total expected leaf blade length.Equipment ConsiderationsRough road runs from Curcie Rd to the treatment units. UTV's can access some portions of the interior of Unit 1a.Treatment Unit 2.1 only accessible by foot.Other Requirements and ProvisionsGate code will be provided. No area available for equipment/herbicide storage. No freshwater available on-site.Threatened, etc. SpeciesFlorida panther, American crocodile, little blue heron, wood stork, and Tillandsia species utilize this preserve.Project Time Frame Timing of the Treatment:Fall/Winter2 treatments/cogon grass onlyYesNoDoes treatment date matter?Yes NoCan treatment occur on weekends?
