REQUIREMENT: The Bureau of Land Management, Bishop Field Office, Bishop, CA has a requirement for collection of native seed from the vicinity of the West Walker and Eastern Sierra Watersheds. Native Seed Specifications for Seeding Treatments on the Dana Fire and Material for Seed Banking Purposes A. General Description: Availability of native seed, especially local ecotypes for emergency fire and erosion control projects is often difficult to obtain. This project would enhance our capability to begin to obtain yearly collections of native seed from critical wildlife habitat areas, e.g. key mule deer and sage grouse habitat as well as unique plant assemblages. By banking these collections we would be able to not only respond to emergency "seeding" situations in a timely manner, but also be assured that the integrity of native plant gene pools is maintained. Seed material would be stored in an existing, cooperatively managed seed bank that is maintained by our local Eastern Sierra Weed Management. B. Seed Mixture Selection and Certification: The seed mixture for this landscape collection contract was selected by the Bishop Field Office Botanist and is based on agency policies, regulations and mandates. Seeds should be tested for purity and germination rates. There should be no more than 1 percent native species in the collection of seeds. Before accepting delivery of seed shipment the contractor must provide written evidence (seed label and letter) to the Field Office Botanist that the seed conforms to the purity and germination requirements in the specification. Test methods specified in the Rules for Testing Seeds, Proceedings of the Association of Official Seed Analyst would be acceptable for determining the germination rate. Seed designated without a purity or germination rate shall be labeled to include the name, date (month and year) collected, and the name and address of the seed supplier. Certified Pure Live Seed (PLS) from the following native species would be used for the project. If some of the species are not available, substitutions within the same price range would be allowed. Seeds for the Dana Fire would be from the West Walker/Eastern Sierra watersheds and would be seeded in the fall of 2005 depending on seed availability. Seeds for the seed banking portion of the project would be from the eastern Sierra region.
