  <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach | Invitation to Bid No. 17‐05‐01  47    <br />  <br />occur on weekdays between the hours of 1:00 AM and 3:00 AM. Avoid spraying <br />when residents are active. The following outlines a minimum of applications. <br /> <br />Insect Control: In January, April, August and November, inspect terminal bud <br />of all palms for signs of boring/chewing insects. If evidence of <br />a nest is discovered, drench terminal bud with Orthene, Cygon <br />or Lindane six times per year or as needed to control insect <br />infestation (Lindane is to be used in limited amounts and only if <br />evidence of beetles is present). The applications assume a <br />continuing boring insect presence on site. <br /> <br />OTC Injections: Upon evidence of LY (lethal yellowing) or TPPD (Texas Phoenix <br />Palm Decline) inform the City immediately and upon approval <br />by the City, begin injections per label rate, per palm, of OTC <br />tree injection formula (Tree Saver Inc. or equal). Follow <br />manufacturer’s recommendations re: injection method and <br />frequency. OTC injections are on an “As Needed” basis and will <br />be considered a “Supplemental Service.” <br /> <br />Date Palms (Phoenix dactylifera, Phoenix canariensis & Phoenix sylvestris): <br />Date Palm pest control contractor must be a State of Florida licensed pest control <br />operator with a minimum of five years of experience in this type of work with Date <br />Palms in South Florida. <br /> <br />Disease Control: Three times per year all Date Palms will be treated with a <br />systematic fungicide(s). These applications will be performed as <br />a root/soil drench during the months of March/April, <br />July/August, and November/December and are considered to be <br />preventive maintenance. Contractor is responsible to follow <br />manufacturer’s recommendations for rates and quantities. <br />Soil/root drench utilizing “T-Storm” or “Cleary’s 3336” fungicide <br />combined with either “Subdue Max” or “Chip-co-Aliette” and <br />“Mancocide”. For every other application alternate between <br />Subdue and Aliette. Take steps to ensure that the fungicide <br />doesn’t run off but is instead absorbed into the root system. <br /> <br /> In the event Thielaviopsis paradoxa is identified in any of the <br />palms and/or has infected a palm in close proximity to the <br />subject palms, commence top to bottom trunk drenches utilizing <br />T-Storm OR Cleary’s 3336. Perform these trunk drenches <br />concurrently to the root/soil drenches. Continue this <br />requirement until such time as infected host palms have been <br />removed from the proximity of the subject palms. Top to <br />bottom fungicide trunk drenches are on an “As Needed” basis
