Background The Southern Delivery System (SDS) is a regional project that will transport water from the Arkansas River to the City of Colorado Springs and upon completion will serve the City of Colorado Springs, City of Fountain, Security Water District, and the Pueblo West Metropolitan District. On behalf of the four SDS Participants, Colorado Springs Utilities (UTILITIES) has established a program management approach to the design, construction, and administration of the SDS Program. Phase 1 of the SDS Program includes the design and construction of approximately fifty-three (53) miles of sixty-six inch (66"), seventy-two inch (72"), and ninety inch (90”) underground raw water transmission pipeline and nine (9) miles of thirty-six inch (36”), forty-two inch (42"), and fifty-four inch (54") finished water transmission pipeline. Additional project components include water pump stations, electrical transmission facilities, construction staging areas and a 50 million gallon/day water treatment plant. More information regarding the comprehensive scope of the SDS Program is available online at http://sdswater.org. UTILITIES is issuing this Request for a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) solicitation to evaluate and pre-qualify firms to provide revegetation services for the SDS Program. Refer to subsection four below for details regarding the regulatory requirements associated with the revegetation component of the SDS Program and the planned award strategy for work in El Paso and Pueblo Counties. 2. Qualification Procedure Firms that are interested in submitting bids or proposals for any SDS revegetation work are required to pre-qualify pursuant to this SOQ solicitation. To pre-qualify, firms must meet the requirements stated in Form C, as well as complete and submit all required sections of this Request for SOQ (see Sections II and III). Selected firms may also be requested to participate in an interview to discuss project approaches and demonstrate capability to perform work. UTILITIES reserves the right to issue a future Request for SOQ and pre-qualify additional firms; however, until such time a future SOQ may be issued, only firms pre-qualified pursuant to this Request for SOQ will be eligible to participate in future solicitations for revegetation services for specified portions of the SDS Program. 3. Schedule of Events Event Date SOQ Released to Prospective Respondents October 18, 2011 Pre-Submittal Conference (3 hours) November 1, 2011, 9:00 a.m. Last Questions Due from Respondents November 3, 2011 Intent to Respond Due (Form E) November 3, 2011 Due Date for SOQ November 16, 2011, 3:00 p.m. Notification of Pre-Qualified Firms December 20, 2011(approximately) First Solicitation Released to Pre-Qualified Firms February 2, 2012 (approximately) Page 1 of 26 SOQ-KR-93632 The pre-submittal conference is strongly recommended for any firm interested in submitting a response to this Request for SOQ. The pre-submittal conference shall be held on Tuesday, November 1, 2011, at 9:00 a.m. and will include a field visit to a portion of the pipeline easement. Firms attending the site visit are required to wear appropriate safety gear, including a hardhat, safety vest, appropriate footwear, and safety glasses, and provide their own four-wheel drive transportation, (limit one vehicle per firm). Location: UTILITIES’ Pueblo Field Office, 59 North Laser, Pueblo West, CO 81007. 4. Project Description Phase 1 of the SDS Program includes the design and construction of over sixty (60) miles of underground raw water transmission pipeline and finished water transmission pipeline. Additional project components include water pump stations, electrical transmission facilities, construction staging areas and a 50 million gallon/day water treatment plant. Construction is subject to restrictions in a 1041 permit from Pueblo County and Approvals of Location and Site Development Plans from El Paso County. The work packages associated with the SDS Program in Pueblo County require revegetation of the disturbed areas in accordance with the Pueblo County 1041 permit (Construction Mitigation Appendices C-5 and C-9); reference Attachment 1 for a copy of these appendices. The requirement is to reestablish within two (2) years or two (2) growing seasons whichever is longer ninety-percent (90%) of original cover the vegetation removed during the construction project. Work packages in El Paso County must comply with Erosion Sediment and Stormwater Quality Control Plan (ESQCP) requirements and achieve re-establishment to ninety-percent (90%) of original pre-disturbance vegetation. It is anticipated that revegetation in El Paso County will be contracted by General Contractor(s) performing the pipeline construction; however, work will only be awarded to firms pre-qualified pursuant to this Request for SOQ. Work is expected to be in general conformance with the Native Plant Revegetation Guide for Colorado (Caring for the Land series, Vol. III, October 1998) Part I., Upland communities in Eastern Plains and foothills region and other referenced subparts. The guide has been provided as Attachment 2. Pursuant to a Fish and Wildlife Mitigation plan, approved by the Colorado Division of Wildlife, revegetation of work packages will be subject to various limiting conditions (such as specific seed mixes, geography, soil type, elevation, etc.) to be further specified by UTILITIES or other stakeholders. A third party consultant, the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP), on behalf of UTILITIES, will determine pre-disturbance and post-construction re-established vegetation cover using the point- intercept survey method. UTILITIES will liaise with the regulatory agencies both to negotiate final site clearance to enable UTILITIES to obtain permit closure and determination that required percentage of vegetation coverage has been established following the required monitoring period. Page 2 of 26 SOQ-KR-93632 In addition to the 1041 permit (and ESQCP for work in El Paso County and City of Colorado Springs), work package revegetation efforts will be subject to the conditions of construction storm water management plans, easement agreements, regulations and agency inspections. Best Management Practices (BMPs) will need to be maintained until vegetation has re-established to a point where surface soils are stabilized. UTILITIES reserves the right to modify the number or configuration of the work packages.

Govaerts Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Richmond. Surrey. TW9 3AE, United Kingdom. E-mail: [email protected] Received: 23 July 2018 | Accepted by Wendy Applequist: 05 November 2018 | Published on line: 29 November 2018 Abstract In preparation for Plants of the World Online (POWO), 101 new combinations and replacement names are published and also names in current use are validated, including 30 infraspecific names in the genus Phylica L. Keywords: new combinations, nomenclature, POWO, replacement names, valid publication Introduction The 2020 target 1 of the Convention for Botanical Diversity (CBD) is to create “An online flora of all known plants.” Kew’s answer to this is the Plants of the World Online (hereafter, POWO, http://plantsoftheworldonline.org/). POWO draws together Kew’s extensive data resources including its regional floras and monographs, alongside images from the digitisation of the collections. These data will then feed into the World Flora Online (WFO, http://www.worldfloraonline.org/) consortium. The taxonomic backbone of POWO is the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) dataset, which is partly available online through the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families (WCSP) website (http://wcsp.science.kew.org/). The data compilation of this programme was started in 1988 and many nomenclatural issues were dealt with, sometimes resulting in new combinations and replacement names being indicated as “ined.” (ineditus [Latin] – unpublished) in the database and now visible online.

Since 1957 he has collected intensively throughout the area and has authen­ ticated the study with approximately 15,000 sheets in a series of approximately 4,500 collections. The speci mens have been processed according to standard herbarium proce­ dures. For the most part the collections have been distrib­ uted with the first set going to the Herbarium of Oklahoma State University, the second to Texas Technological College at Lubbock, Texas, and additional sets to other herbaria. The author has supplemented his own collect ions with specimens from research area in the herbaria of Oklahoma State University and Texas Technological College. Monographs, revisions and other taxonomic literature i n the Oklahoma State University Library and the personal libraries of Dr. U. T. Waterfall and the author were us ed i n the identification of the specimens.
