SECTION B – STATEMENT OF WORK

B.1 SUMMARY OF WORK

The purpose of the inventory is to identify, record and evaluate all cultural sites within the APE that are listed, eligible or potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Thus, “evaluate” means each discovered cultural site should be measured against the criteria for listing on the NRHP. The Summary Report will serve as a medium for submitting the findings to the SHPO and will serve as confirmation that the Forest Service has met the requirements contained in Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.

The data collected is the precursor to the San Juan National Forest, Columbine Ranger District proposed plan to conduct vegetation management across approximately 1,662 acres in 5 separate project areas.

At minimum, the work under this contract would be for the completion of Class III cultural resource inventories and site evaluations to address the following:

Assist the San Juan National Forest with compliance mandates established in Section 106 and Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).

Conduct field inventories, site recording, site evaluations, evaluation of potential effects, all associated documentation, inventory reports, and artifact curation must meet standards defined by the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office (CO-SHPO) including use of the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (OAHP) forms, and the COMPASS database system (https://gis.colorado.gov/compass/).

Provide inventory reports that include discussions of preliminary management recommendations associated with the proposed undertaking. The Forest will utilize the information to make final management recommendations in consultation with the CO-SHPO, Indian Tribes, and other interested parties.

This project requires that the contractor conduct Class III intensive inventories meeting CO-SHPO standards (https://www.historycolorado.org) for survey areas identified under this contract for compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The Class III inventories will include large block surveys for vegetation management projects, such as timber sales and prescribed fire, and smaller dispersed block and linear survey locations for a variety of other resource program inventories.

Optional Items: Bid options will be awarded at the discretion of the Government, based on continuing need, price reasonableness, and availability of funding. Award will be based on the contract total value, which considers base and optional items combined.

Whether or not a suspend work notice is issued, the Contractor shall be responsible for correcting any damage caused by his/her operation, whether inside or outside project limits, at no cost to the Government. Such suspensions shall not be considered as suspensions for the Convenience of the Government under FAR 52.242-15, Stop Work Order, and shall not qualify for equitable adjustment.

B.5 DELIVERABLES

The contract period shall begin September 1, 2021. The start date may be adjusted depending on weather conditions, access, and ground visibility (i.e. remaining snow load) within the project area. The project area must be 80% snow free and reasonably dry prior to the commencement of fieldwork.

BASE Item 1 Draft deliverables, including a draft report; draft site and isolate forms; GIS shapefiles of site data, site boundaries, and inventory area boundaries; maps; and photographs shall be received by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) by January 30, 2022 .

OPTIONAL Items 1 and 2 If the optional units are exercised, the due date for draft deliverables, including a draft report; draft site and isolate forms; GIS shapefiles of site data, site boundaries, and inventory area boundaries; maps; and photographs will be mutually agreed to by the contractor and the Forest Service Contracting Officer. The due date for optional unit draft deliverables is anticipated to be 60 calendar days after the applicable item is exercised. When/if the item is exercised is dependent on the point relative to the 2021 field season and funds available so anticipated exercise will be no later than the contract performance end date.

Upon receipt of the draft deliverables, the COR will have 14 calendar days to review and provide comments to the contractor for finalization of the deliverables. Upon receipt of the draft deliverables review e-mail, the contractor will then have 14 calendar days to make changes and submit the final deliverables, including the final report; final site and isolate forms; GIS shapefiles of site data, site boundaries, and inventory area boundaries; maps; and photographs.

Draft deliverables will be submitted and uploaded to the U.S. Forest Service external Pinyon/Box folder (https://usfs.app.box.com); the specific folder will be shared with the contractor at the pre-work meeting.

Work that is submitted later than the contract schedule or that fails to meet contract and permit specifications will result in poor past performance ratings.

B.6 INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

All work shall be conducted under the general direction of the Contracting Officer and is subject to Government inspection and testing at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract. See FAR Clause 52.212-4(a) contained herein.
