Soil Fumigation Services

The government authority located in Licking, Missouri requires soil fumigation services for approximately fourteen acres of soil. The agency is seeking to eliminate soil-borne pests and prepare the acreage for agricultural use. To achieve this, the agency requires the application of a chemical fumigant combination consisting of eighty percent Methyl-Bromide and twenty percent Chloropicrin. The scope of work requires injecting the chemical combination a minimum of six inches deep into the soil. The application must occur at a rate of approximately three hundred points of material per acre. The agency requires the soil tarp method of application, using plastic film that must remain sealed and in place for a minimum of twenty-four hours. If the plastic film fails to remain sealed for the twenty-four-hour minimum, the agency requires the replacement of the film and a reapplication of the chemical fumigant at no additional cost. The soil tarp method is required across the entire acreage, except in specific areas where obstructions like irrigation systems make the method unfeasible. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is looking for proposals to establish the budget for this project. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or through the online portal, though the agency has not specified any key deadlines or evaluation criteria in the source documentation.
