SCOPE OF SERVICES
Section 1 –Meetings
1.1 Pre-Season Meeting: Prior to any work conducted by contractor, a meeting with Environmental
Resources staff that includes contractor’s field staff/lead must be conducted. We will discuss
schedule, field staff contacts, confirm areas if needed, access points, etc.
1.2 Mid-season Meeting: After first round of treatments occur, meet to discuss any changes needed
in the plan for the remainder of the year (meet on-site if needed).
Section 2 – Timing of Weed Control
2.1 Inspection of Area
Inspections should be conducted based on growing season and weed cycles.
2.2 Scheduling
Maintenance is to occur before seed-out of weedy species. Invasive species are to be controlled
by mechanical or chemical means during the growing season as indicated on map exhibits and
quote sheet, as well as when needed. Early season control for thistle control desired for most
effective treatment. Environmental Resources staff must be contacted 24 hours prior to
maintenance activities. City contact is Ann Messerschmidt (952) 985-4528;
amesserschmidt@lakevillemn.gov.
Section 3 – Type of Maintenance
3.1 Mechanical Removal
Mechanical tools can be used as needed, but ensure soil disturbance is kept to a minimum.
Avoid desirable native species.
3.2 Chemical Use
Spot spraying is preferred to vast area spraying. Amount and type of chemical used should
be considered and label should always be followed. When spraying near water, “water safe”
chemicals are to be used. Avoid spraying on windy days to avoid drift.
Section 4 – General Guidance
4.1 Weedy Species
The goal is to have the area contain as few weed species as possible with particular attention
paid to removal of thistle, ragweed, stinging nettle, wild parsnip, buckthorn, and Siberian
elm. We understand continual maintenance is required to keep these species in control.
209547v1 9
4.2 Native Species
Native forbs and grasses are the most desirable plants at each location. All maintenance
efforts should be conducted to enhance native species with preference to forbs.
Section 5 – Site Specific Information
5.1 205th Street Channel, Outlot A, Marion Village (Location 1)
Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means two times during the growing
season. Mainly trying to control ragweed, thistle, stinging nettle, buckthorn and Siberian
Elms on both sides of the channel. Several potted trees and shrubs, as well as red-osier
dogwood live stakes were added to this area in late fall 2017, so use caution when spraying
around this vegetation.
5.2 Ritter Farm Park (19300 Ritter Trail) (Location 4)
Prairie (4A) – Area A will be controlled under a different contract in 2020.
Hill Slope (4B) – Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means two times
during the growing season. This area needs simple spot spraying throughout before seed-
out of undesirable species and spray woodchip trail to keep weed free.
Environemtnal Learning Center Woodland (4C) – Invasive species control by mechanical
or chemical means two times during the growing season. Control thistle and other
invasives in summer and perform fall treatment of buckthorn when spraying will not harm
native plants.
Japanese Knotweed near Gazebo (4D) – Invasive species control by chemical means one
time during the growing season after flowering begins in August with Milestone at a rate
of 0.5 oz/3 gallons. Contact city Environmental Resources staff before conducting
treatment.
5.3 East Lake Community Park (16700 Pilot Knob Road) (Location 5)
Prairie (5A) – Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means one time during
the growing season. Keep all young oaks, but eliminate other encroaching trees and shrubs
out of grass area with management geared toward promotion of forbs and spot spraying
invasives.
Woodland (5B) – Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means two times
during the growing season. Spring control of garlic mustard and summer control of thistle,
and other invasives. The late fall control for buckthorn may or may not take place. Make
sure to get transition area to prairie (Area A) well covered (often missed and needs
attention).
Fall Option 1: Random adult buckthorn removal (estimated 30 trees). Cut, stump
treat, and remove debris taken down.
Fall Option 2: Random adult butkthorn removal (estimated 30 trees). Cut and
stump treat. Leave debris.
Fall Option 3: Conduct a fall foliar treatment of buckthorn.
Mitigation and Pond (5C) – Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means
one time during the growing season. Spot spray invasives. Specific removal of willow
209547v1 10
may be needed to keep them from spreading throughout the basin.
5.4 Shady Oak Grove – Wetland Mitigation, Outlot A (Location 6)
Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means one time during the growing
season before thistle goes to seed. There is a decent diversity of species here and not many
weeds, so maintenance here should be minimal. Manage to promote forbs.
5.5 Valley Lake Woodland, Outlot A, Valley Lake 1st Addition (Location 8)
Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means two times during the year.
Spring/summer treatment of burdock, thistle and other exotics. Fall treatment of buckthorn.
Cut and stump treat taller buckthorn (patchy). Anything native should be kept/avoided.
5.6 South Lake Marion Ponds (Location 9 A&B)
Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means two times during the year. Both
sites need focus of spot spraying of ragweed, thistle, stinging nettle, other noxious weeds
and any woody vegetation should be removed. Area B manage for promotion of forbs.
