- Description
- Carrizo Cane is an invasive weed along the Rio Grande that creates an ideal habitat for cattle fever tick survival and hinders visibility for both United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health 5Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services (VS) mounted inspectors and DHS-Customs and Border Protection (CBP).�� Mechanical topping of the cane at 3 feet provides immediate visibility of the Rio Grande for VS and CBP personnel, eliminates cattle fever tick habitat, and increases the impact of the insect biological control agents released by USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS). The USDA needs support in the topping of approximately 200 river miles of Carrizo Cane to reduce the invasive species biomass, increase visibility of the Rio Grande River area for both CBP and the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program (CFTEP), while reducing the habitat for cattle fever ticks by creating a less welcoming and habitable environment and promoting an increase in tick predator species. The PQZ of the CFTEP encompasses approximately 600 miles of the Rio Grande River along the US-Mexico border The areas to be cut under this contract will encompass approximately 167 miles located along the PQZ within the South Texas counties at the direction of the CFTEP.� The government is requiring two (2) contractor operators (personnel) to perform this project.
