Background The Charter Township of Oakland Parks and Recreation Commission (OTPR) is seeking an itemized quote to conduct non-native invasive shrub removal to fulfill the requirements of a Wildlife Habitat Improvement Program (WHIP) grant. Within the total 45 acres eligible for the grant, 33 acres have been identified as priority sub-areas. See attached maps. OTPR has $19,035 in grant funds to spend on two locations (Fields 15 and 16), in accordance with grant requirements. Field 15 covers 25 acres, with 19 acres of priority sub-area. Field 16 cover 20 acres, with 14 acres of priority sub-area. Bidders are expected to indicate in their bid how much of the acreage (or, square footage) they will cover for up to $19,035 in payment. This may be less than, up to, or greater than the full extent of the priority sub-area and may include areas outside of the priorities but within delineated areas if contractors believe they can achieve more work beyond the priority area boundaries. Work in additional acreage must be contiguous and follow project specifications.
