( http://www.cal-ipc.org/ip/inventory/index.php
), the Los Angeles
Regional Invasive Plant Guide
( http://weedwatch.lasgrwc.org/Matrix_Master_20071022.pdf

Mapping project? Control or Eradication Project?
THIS WORKPLAN IS NOT TO EXCEED THREE PAGES SINGLE-SPACED, ONE-SIDED
INCLUDING ANSWERS TO ALL THE QUESTIONS LISTED BELOW.
1.
Work Plan. Please provide a one page project description giving geographic area, program goals, target species, staffing, environmental compliance, proposed approach and methodology and expected outcomes. Provide quantitative information on the proposed outcomes and what you expect to accomplish within 6 months, one year, two years, and longterm.
2.
Location(s) or Geographic Extent.
Proposed invasive plant mapping and control projects must take place in Los Angeles County. Exceptions will be made for control projects if the site is immediately adjacent to or upstream of Los Angeles County and the control efforts will protect the County from future invasions. In this space please address the following:
A.
Is the proposed project within Los Angeles County?
If yes, please describe where the project will take place and what adjacent areas will be protected by your control effort (if any).
If no, please describe the region of Los Angeles County immediately adjacent to or downstream from your project that will be protected by your control effort.
B.
Is the proposed project adjacent to or upstream from federal open space (i.e. BLM,
NPS, USFS)?
C.
Is the proposed project on private property?
3.
Target Species and Impact of Removal.
Please define the invasive plant species that will be treated or mapped.
Proposals will not be scored based on invasive plant ratings, but species addressed must be listed in at least one of the following rating systems: Cal-IPC Statewide Inventory ( http://www.cal-ipc.org/ip/inventory/index.php
), the Los Angeles
Regional Invasive Plant Guide ( http://weedwatch.lasgrwc.org/Matrix_Master_20071022.pdf
), and/or the CDFA noxious weed list ( http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/phpps/ipc/weedinfo/winfo_list-pestrating.htm
).
A.
Is the proposed project controlling the leading edge of highly invasive infestations that are moving into the County?
B.
Is the proposed project targeting incipient populations that have the potential to be highly invasive in the County?
4.
Number of jobs created . List classification/type of position, and express # of work hours in terms of
Full-time Equivalents (see instructions for how to calculate this value).
5.
Habitat type of the project area . Please describe the surrounding habitat with particular attention to whether the area has been identified in planning documents as an Ecologically Significant Habitat
Area (ESHA), Significant Ecological Area (SEA), or contains any of the following types of species: state or federally listed as threatened or endangere, State or federal Candidate (Threatened,
Endangered, Species of Special Concern), or California Native Plant Society Rare, Threatened, or
Endangered. Please delete this text and address the habitat type of your project in this space.
6.
Additional Project Benefits. Please describe the additional benefits of your project here. For more information on benefits see the scoring section of the RFP.
7.
Capacity of lead group .
Please describe the capacity of the lead group to carry out this project. See scoring criteria in the RFP for details. What do you have at your disposal? Consider hand and power tools, equipment, and chemicals. Anything donated ?
8.
Project Readiness . This criteria evaluates whether the proposed project is ready to begin. Please discuss the following factors with respect to your project: work plan, environmental compliance, logistics, mapping (for more details see instructions), access to or ownership of property to be treated.
9.
Project Outcome.
Please provide information on how you are ensuring that your project will succeed, the importance of the stated project goal, and the sustainability over the long-term of the project outcome (will the site, watershed, etc. remain free of the target over time?). Please discuss the following factors in your answer (see instructions for details) : likelihood of success, stated goal, follow-up/long-term outcome.
10. Cost Effectiveness . Please provide the total number of jobs created and the total number of acres protected by your project. Include any matching or in-kind contributions to the project.
