DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

SCOPE OF CONTRACT

The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest requires annual trail opening and maintenance on Forest Service trails.

The work includes logging out, drainage maintenance and rock removal on non-wilderness and wilderness trails as described in the technical specifications. Slide maintenance and tread repair are required in connection with uprooted trees. Contractors shall be held responsible for all downed trees; there will be NO tree counting. The Contractor(s) shall furnish all labor, supervision, equipment and materials to perform all operations necessary to accomplish the work in accordance with the contract terms, conditions, specifications, drawings and contract attachments/exhibits. (Refer to Technical Specifications-Drawings, Attachment 04 for additional information).

This solicitation will result in the award of multiple Firm-Fixed-Price contracts. Each resultant award will require performance of trail maintenance work for the Forest in a specific geographic area as defined by the Item descriptions and maps provided as attachments to the contract. Only one contractor will be awarded work for each geographic area.

This project is one of the implementation projects of the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Project (CFLRP). The goal of the CFLRP project is to utilize collaborative, science based ecosystem restoration techniques to improve watershed function while encouraging ecological, economic and social sustainability with an emphasis on providing local employment opportunities.

PERFORMANCE DEADLINES

The starting dates in the table below are estimates of when work may begin on an Item; however, not all trail segments within an Item are expected to be open on that date. Regardless of actual starting date, all Trail Maintenance Items shall be completed no later than the dates shown in the table below for the year in which award or renewal was made.

The Contractor shall make progress at a rate that will assure completion of work by the required completion date for each Item. Award of more than one Item to a Contractor will not change the required performance period for each Item. If multiple Items are awarded to one Contractor, the respective performance times will run concurrently, not consecutively.

Prior to commencement of work, the CO will arrange a meeting with the Contractor to discuss the contract terms and work performance requirements. Also at this meeting such things as work progress schedule and fire prevention and suppression plans shall be discussed. The Contractor may begin work under the contract when conditions are suitable for access.

Trail Design Criteria

Any Level I, II, or III trail maintenance work that occurs within 300 feet of live water will need to follow new design criteria in order to proceed. The following design criteria have been extracted from the Programmatic Biological Assessment for Trail Maintenance.

1. Gravel Borrow: Borrowing gravel from gravel bars will only occur when an alternative site is not available AND the gravel bar is located well out of the existing stream, where there is little or no chance the gravel could be used by spring spawning salmonids. All gravel removed will be high and dry and as far away from live water as possible. Total gravel removed will be limited to 10 percent of less of the total gravel available to prevent changes in channel morphology, and will be well-distributed. Ideally if a site is known where gravel borrowing is necessary, review of the site by fisheries biologists prior to activity is strongly recommended.

2. Trail Clearing: Where woody materials have fallen across trails and extend into stream channels, only that portion of the material obstructing trail use will be removed. Leave the portion extending into the stream channel.

In-stream woody debris will not be cleared without prior review and approval by a fisheries biologist.

3. Trail Brushing: Brushing trails along streams and at stream crossings will be done in a way that maintains the plants for shade and stream bank stability, while allowing for safe passage. In most cases, brushing occurs on the uphill side of the trail, with the trail between the brushing and the stream. Brushing will be limited to cut slopes and within the trail head. Brush clearing standards will be modified to retain brush where it is providing shade to the stream within 25 feet of a stream and at all stream crossings.

4. Ford Maintenance or Work in Stream Channel: Avoid work in streamside areas where listed fish may be staging or spawning. Sensitive time periods include 15 March – 15 May for Steelhead, 15 August – 30 November for spring Chinook and Bull Trout. Exceptions to this may be granted where surveys for adult fish are conducted by a trained observer and no fish are found. Site-specific review of the activity and the site by a fisheries biologist will be conducted prior to any exceptions.

GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY.

- NONE

USE OF MOTORIZED EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLES

It is the responsibility of the successful bidder to ensure that motorized equipment and/or transport/use is commensurate with the management directions for the areas in which the trails are located. The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) for the Clearwater NF and Forest Access guide for the Nez Perce NF provide information on roads and trails with motorized use restrictions. These guides are available from Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest Supervisor’s and Ranger District Offices. All areas outside of wilderness provide for the use of chainsaws.

STOCK LIMITATIONS

In order to decrease chances for site degradation, the use of saddle and pack stock will be kept at the minimum necessary to accomplish the project. A maximum 6 head per trip addresses the initial camp and tool supply. Once tools and camp are transported into the job site, use of stock will be limited to 3 head* during the length of the project. At the end of the project and for complete camp movement during the project, stock shall not exceed 6 head. Stock not in use shall be removed from the National Forest until such time as they are required.

*Based on a 2 person crew – 2 riding and 1 pack animal. (Requests for additional stock will be submitted in writing and approved by the CO prior to use.)

CAMPING.

There are a limited number of campsites in some trail areas. Campsites shall be addressed and designated at the pre-work meeting. The Contractor's campsite will be subject to weekly inspections by a Government Inspector to assure that minimum impact requirements are met. (See Attachment 06: Minimum Impact Camping Guidelines)

CLEANUP OF WORK AND CAMP AREAS.

The project area(s) shall be restored to as close to its original natural appearance as possible. The work area impact must be kept to a minimum. All debris and litter shall be removed from site. Litter shall be packed out, and the native debris shall be scattered outside the trail clearing limit. No debris shall be scattered into any stream, lake, snow pond, meadow, or other water course. (See Attachment 06: Minimum Impact Camping Guidelines)

Noxious Weed Closure Order.

The contractor shall comply with the Special Order issued for all National Forest System Lands within the State of Idaho which prohibits the possession or storage of hay, straw or mulch that is not certified by an authorized official as being

Noxious weed or Noxious Weed Seed Free. A Contractor possessing hay, straw or mulch in the National Forest shall present the weed free certificate upon request.

Access and Equipment Drops in Wilderness:

Use of motor vehicles (including trail motorcycles, ATV’s) and motorized/mechanized equipment (such as chainsaws, generators, or bicycles) are prohibited in designated Wilderness Areas.

Use of helicopters for equipment/supply drops or for ferrying personnel into a Wilderness area will not be allowed.

In general, storing equipment, personal property or supplies at one cache site for more than 14 consecutive days within a 45 day period is prohibited in both Wilderness and Non Wilderness areas, subject to specific Wilderness stay limits.
