The Service Provider shall perform a macro-infusion injection of Arbotect 20-S fungicide at the dosage rate recommended by the manufacturer.

For infected elm trees, the Service Provider shall perform the following in addition to the macro-infusion treatment:
* Prune flagging branches immediately as the vascular wilt moves rapidly in the sapwood.
* Strip the bark from the branch with flagging symptoms.
* Inspect the sapwood for streaking (dark staining).
* Cut the branch 6-10 feet beyond the discolored area to clear wood, ideally to a branch bark collar. Properly dispose of the infected wood or debark it completely.
* Make sure to disinfect all tools between each cut or drill hole using a bleach solution.
* Trenching between infected and non-infected trees will slow the spread of the disease by root grafts.

Macro-infusions will be performed on 50 trees per contract year. 40 trees will be infected trees and the remainder will be non-infected trees. The Service Provider will provide a per hour crew cost for the macro-infusions that includes all labor, equipment, materials, Arbotect 20-S fungicide, travel to and from the macro-infusion locations, and any other incidentals required to complete the scope of work. For purposes of this bid assume the macro-infusions will take a total of 400 hours of crew time.
