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 5 acres eligible for the grant, 2.5 acres have been identified as priority sub-areas. See attached maps. OTPR has $2250 in grant funds to spend on one location, in accordance with grant requirements. Field 13 covers 5 acres. Bidders are expected to indicate in their bid how much of the priority sub-area acreage (or, square footage) they will cover for up to $2250 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.
