REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR

VAIL VILLAGE RIPARIAN AND BANK RESTORATION PROJECTS

May 19, 2017 The Town of Vail is seeking a qualified landscape contractor to install native, riparian plantings and other landscape improvements on town-owned property along Gore Creek. In general, the work will include preparation of native seed areas, provision and installation of trees, shrubs, plugs and native seed, installation of drip irrigation and other associated work. PROJECT GENERAL DESCRIPTION In 2011, Gore Creek and one of its tributaries, Red Sandstone Creek, were added to the State of Colorado’s 303(d) List of Impaired Waters. The listing was based on the absence of critical aquatic macroinvertebrates species. A subsequent study, the Town of Vail Water Quality Improvement Plan (WQIP) identified the loss of riparian buffers/habitat as one of the key causes of the impairment. In 2016, the Vail town council adopted the Gore Creek Water Quality Strategic Action Plan (SAP). The SAP identifies five strategies and lists specific actions to be undertaken in order to remove Gore Creek from the 303(d) list. Among the list of actions is the reestablishment of vegetated riparian buffers where possible. Many areas along Gore Creek have been impacted by human development and activity. Impacts include removal of native vegetation, bare soil/exposed roots due to heavy use and access to the creek, eroded stream banks and, in many locations, adjacent owners have encroached into town-owned stream tract with turf areas, gardens, walkways, patios, etc. Over the past few years, the town has been “reclaiming” town-owned lands and stream tract by prohibiting private maintenance of public property. It is the goal of this project to begin reestablishing riparian vegetated buffers along Gore Creek by removing maintained turf areas, reducing “social” trails that trample vegetation, and adding native vegetation to improve habitat along the stream.

SCOPE OF WORK There are five general project areas associated with this work. Each has specific work and schedule requirements as outlined below. Refer to the Drawings for additional information. The Town may choose to award the work for any or all of the areas once Proposals are submitted. Area I – Village Center Condominiums Work Window: June 12-June 28 Work Required: Remove existing turf, install plantings and drip irrigation, native seed Constraints:

• Limited access from Willow Bridge Rd and no access for heavy equipment. Access is through the pool area for Village Center which creates potential conflicts with residents/guests. This must be coordinated with the property manager.

• During runoff, water often flows across the turf area. Work can begin once water levels drop and soil conditions become favorable for work.

• This project is the FIRST PRIORITY for completion, once conditions allow. If it appears that the work cannot be completed before June 24th due to late runoff, the project will be postponed.

Area II – Austria Haus Work Window: June 12-June 28 Work Required: Install plantings and drip irrigation, native seed Constraints:

• Limited access from Slifer Square and no access for heavy equipment. Plants and materials must be dropped off, and vehicles parked in the Vail Village Parking Structure. One work vehicle can remain in Slifer Square if needed on a limited basis.

• Much of the work in this area can be accomplished during runoff due to the high bank. The work area is near the swimming pool for Austria Haus which creates potential conflicts with residents/guests. This must be coordinated with the property manager.

Area III – Village Streamwalk Work Window: Completion by July 21. No work from June 28-July 9. Work Required: Remove pea gravel in some areas, add topsoil/seed, install plantings, construct/install “wander deterrents” Constraints:

• Limited access from Slifer Square and no access for heavy equipment. Plants and materials must be dropped off, and vehicles parked in the Vail Village Parking Structure. One work vehicle can remain in Slifer Square if needed on a limited basis.

• The streamwalk can be a busy place during the summer and pedestrian access shall remain open during the work, with traffic control as needed to protect the public

• Wander deterrents should be in place prior to plantings Area IV – Row Houses Streambank Work Window: Completion by July 28 Work Required: Install plantings and drip irrigation Constraints:

• Limited access from Staub Park and no access for heavy equipment. Plants and materials must be dropped off, and vehicles parked in the Vail Village Parking Structure. One work vehicle can remain on Gore Creek Drive by Staub Park.

• Construction work on several of the Row Houses may inhibit access. Coordinate with the project manager to ensure access.

Area V – Mill Creek Confluence Work Window: Completion by July 28 Work Required: Install plantings and drip irrigation Constraints:

• Limited access from Slifer Square and no access for heavy equipment. Plants and materials must be dropped off, and vehicles parked in the Vail Village Parking Structure. One work vehicle can remain in Slifer Square if needed on a limited basis.

• Construction work on several of the Row Houses may inhibit access. Coordinate with the project manager to ensure access.

4.04 RIPARIAN PLANTINGS Where existing plants overlap with proposed planting areas, the CONTRACTOR is responsible for communicating with the ENGINEER or OWNER/OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE prior to installation to ensure which if any existing plants or root systems shall be disturbed. The ENGINEER or OWNER/OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE will work with the CONTRACTOR to determine alternative placement of individual plants where needed. 4.04 A. Tree Planting Landscape tree planters shall be held open at a minimum of 2 times the width of the root ball. Carefully place Tree and backfill the planters with excavated soil and amend with top soil. Wildlife fencing shall be placed around all size 6’ tree or larger.

1. Spacing of trees. The layout of the trees shall be planted staggered (not horizontal or vertical lines) as shown on Project Drawings. The Project Drawings provide the Species List for all native riparian Tree Plantings. Minimum spacing of plantings is species and type dependent and listed in plant schedule on each landscape plan associated with each project area.

2. Tree trunks. Trunks shall be straight and well-tapered. Trees with multiple leaders, unless specified, shall be rejected. Damaged, cut, or crooked leaders; included bark, bark abrasions, sunscald, disfiguring knots, mold, and prematurely opened buds, or cuts of limbs over 3/4 inch (2 cm) diameter that are not completely callused are cause for rejection. Balled-in-burlap plants shall have firm, natural earth balls of a diameter not less than that recommended in American Standard for Nursery Stock, and of sufficient depth to include fibrous and feeding roots. Balls shall be securely wrapped with burlap and tightly bound with rope or twine; or in wire baskets lined with burlap and tightly bound with rope or twine. The trunk flare shall be within the top two inches of the soil ball. Balled-in-burlap plants with manufactured balls or balls that are dry, cracked, or broken before or during the planting operation shall be rejected.

3. Root wrapping. All root-wrapping materials that are not bio-degradable shall be

removed from the root ball. Root balls shall be free of weeds. Holes must be dug a minimum of 2 times the width of the root ball. Trees shall be planted so that the top of the rootball is exposed and not smothered; holes shall be dug to the depth of the root ball with at least 2 inch, from the base of the trunk flare, above the soil surface. Trees should be centered in the planting hole and set completely perpendicular to the ground when viewed from two locations at right angles to one another. Backfill planted tree with topsoil. Prepare a watering circle of 2' diameter around the trunk. At a minimum of 6’’ from base of tree, place 3" depth of weed free mulch around the planted trees. Mulch shall consist of wood chips or shredded wood that is uniform in size, color, quality, and overall appearance. Mulch shall be of free weeds and material injurious to plant

growth. Wood chips shall have an area of not less than one square inch and not more than three square inches.

4. Fertilizers. Planted trees shall be fertilized with a slow-release fertilizer, and placed deep into the planting hole and backfilled with soil to minimize fertilizer absorption by weeds and turf. Use a complete slow release fertilizer in a NPK ratio of 1:2:1, nitrogen, phosphate, and potash.

5. Wildlife Screen. All planted ball and burlap trees and large shrubs shall have small

mammal protective fencing. Fencing shall be 14 gauge welded wire, or chicken wire with less than 6” inch spacing. The welded wire shall be held 6 inches from the truck and placed as a cylinder around the trunk of the tree at a minimum of 4 feet in height. The welded wire shall be fastened to hardwood stakes with cord. The welded fencing shall be flush with the ground.

4.04 B. Ball and Burlapped Plants All balled and burlapped plants shall have a solid ball of earth of adequate specified size held in place securely. Ball shall be confined securely with wrapped burlap and tightly bound with twine or rope. The burlap ball shall be encompassed by a firm wire basket (to be loosened at planting) designed for the size and shape of the ball. Broken, loose, damaged or manufactured ball shall be rejected. Ropes at the top of the ball shall be cut once placed in the pit. Remove the top 1/3 of burlap or basket. All twine shall be removed. 4.04 C. Containerized Plants Containerized plants including 5 gallon, 2 gallon, 1 gallon, and 10 cubic inch stock shall be in good condition before installation and shall not be root-bound in their containers. Roots that circle the container can become strangulated roots and hinder future growth of the plant. Extensive roots that have grown out through the drain ports of the container may be dried or damaged and become a source for infection and additional stress for the plant. Any or all abnormalities listed above shall be reason for rejection. Containerized plants shall be installed into moist soils and shall be “mudded in” after installation to ensure no air pockets are present around the roots. If temporary storage of uninstalled plants is needed, they must not be exposed to direct sunlight or wind and shall be watered daily and protected from the elements. If containerized plants cannot be installed the same day as delivery, moisture of the soil shall be sufficient. Overhead water 1-2 times per day is required.

1. Spacing of shrubs. The layout of the shrubs shall be planted staggered (not horizontal or vertical lines) as shown on Project Drawings. The Project Drawings provide the areas for Riparian Shrub Plantings and Species List. Minimum spacing of plantings is species and type dependent and listed in plant schedule on each landscape plan associated with each project area.

2. Riparian Shrub Products. The Riparian Area shall be vegetated with native containerized shrub plants. Containerized plants shall be well established in the container with a root system sufficiently developed to hold together when removed from

the container. Containerized riparian shrubs shall be 1 or 5 gallon pots as specified. Plants shall not be pot bound nor have kinked, circling, or bent roots. The root ball periphery shall be free of circling roots larger than ¼ inch in diameter. Roots grown in a spiral fashion inside the container may be rejected, the tree shall not be “root bound”.

4.04 D. Bare Root Plants Bare root plants are acceptable for wetland, grass, and sedge planting, but bid tab shall clearly note which species are proposed for bare root, versus 10 cubic inch containerized stock. Proper storage and installation of bare root plants is a key to success in establishment. Bare roots shall be planted into moist soils at the time of installation. CONTRACTOR must ensure that roots do not dry out during storage or installation and that adequate site conditions (proper hydrology) exist for the successful establishment of plants and should work with the ENGINEER or OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE if there are any concerns with proposed placement on drawings. Plant roots shall be placed into the ground as straight as possible and not “j-rooted”. Plants shall not be planted too deep and the plant depth shall correspond with the correct depth of a given species.

4.04 E. Seed. All soil areas within the Project Limits, disturbed by construction activities, shall be seeded with the one of the seed mixes listed below as shown on plans. All mixes shall be Certified Seed that is weed free and native strands of Pure Live Seed (PLS). Table 4.5.1 provides the seed type and rate of Dryland Mix Species. 4.4.1 Seed Mixes TOV STREAMBANK MIX For use on banks above the high water mark Mountain Brome Bromus marginatus 20% Streambank Wheatgrass Elymus lanceolatus ssp psammophilus 15% Slender Wheatgrass Elymus trachycaulus ssp trachycaulus 15% Western Wheatgrass Pascopyron smithii 15% Fowl Bluegrass Poa palustris 15% Tufted Hairgrass Deschampsia caespitosa 10% Sherman/Canby Bluegrass Poa secundifolia 'Sherman' 10%
