DESCRIPTION
A government authority in Worcester, Massachusetts seeks a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive algae management services for local lakes. The contractor will be responsible for applying copper sulfate or a comparable algaecide to waters with the objective of keeping cyanobacteria cell densities below 70,000 cells/mL, as recommended by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for recreational waters.
The contractor will collaborate with the agency to schedule treatments in advance when possible. However, if urgent treatment is required, the contractor must be capable of responding and providing services within three business days of the agency's notification. Ongoing monitoring of cyanobacteria blooms is essential to determine the necessity and frequency of treatments, with the goal of preventing harmful blooms and mitigating the risk of lake closures.
