Mohegan Lake Improvement District is seeking a qualified company to apply chemicals to Lake Mohegan to control excessive algae growth, particularly harmful algal blooms (blue-green algae, a/k/a cyanobacteria). Bidders responding to this RFP must be available to perform up to 10 applications at no less than two week intervals commencing with the appearance of algae growth in May 2020. Please provide pricing per application broken out by materials and services and including all labor and equipment needed to treat Lake Mohegan with a spray application from a boat. The lake is approximately one mile long and 102 acres. Each treatment will be to the top 6 feet of one half of the lake, or approximately 51 acres (306 acre feet). Bidder must have appropriate licenses to apply aquatic pesticides, and specifically Copper Sulfate and Cutrine Ultra, to water bodies in New York State, be insured for liability, and if selected, will additionally insure the Town of Yorktown and Mohegan Lake Improvement District, and will carry NYS statutory worker’s compensation insurance covering employees who will be performing services under the proposal. The bidder selected will be required to take an open water sample prior to each application, and furnish a report on lake conditions, phytoplankton species, and water quality data as specified below. Work involves application of Cutrine Ultra or Copper Sulfate in Lake Mohegan as an aqueous solution by a licensed contractor approved for aqueous pesticide applications in New York State. A maximum of one-half of the lake (approximately 51 acres) would be treated per application to minimize the effect on the fish and other lake fauna. The treatments would be sprayed into the water from a boat. There will be no application within 100 feet of the state designated wetlands at the south and north ends of the lake, or within 100 feet of the outflow area in the north end.
