The Contractor shall have the necessary materials on site to contain a spill which may occur on land or within live streams as appropriate for any potential flow conditions likely to occur. This may require absorbent pads and/or booms, or other containment devices. In the event the Government determines that additional resources beyond those of the Contractor's are required, the Contractor may be held liable for all damages and costs including, TO #6 (Oka-Wen), RFP No 1205M618R0002 FSR 4300 Buttermilk Road Road Maintenance Page 10 of 52 but not limited to additional labor, subsistence, equipment, supplies, and transportation deemed necessary by the Government for the containment and clean-up of petroleum products or other hazardous substance releases caused by Contractor's employees or resulting from or related to construction operations.

4. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of any hazardous materials to be used on the job and shall have Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for those materials available on the job.

H.10 PROTECTION OF BOTANICAL RESOURCES

Previously unknown or unlisted populations of Protected, Endangered, Threatened, or Sensitive (PETS) plant species, or potential habitat for PETS species, may be located within contract project boundaries. The modification of contract specifications may be required to protect previously unknown PETS plant populations.

(a) Government's Responsibility - The Government will identify, as they become known, locations of PETS species that the Contractor could encounter in the progress of work under this contract.

(b) Contractor's Responsibility - The Contractor shall protect these areas that contain PETS species, as directed in writing by the Government.

H.11 CONTROL OF NOXIOUS WEEDS--CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT

To prevent the introduction and control the spread of seeds of noxious weeds onto and around National Forest land, the Contractor shall ensure all equipment moved onto National Forest land is free of soil, seeds, vegetative matter, or other debris that could contain or hold seeds. When the Contractor is working in an area that has been identified as a noxious weed infestation area, the Contractor shall ensure equipment is cleaned of weed seeds prior to moving to another work area on the Forest. The Contractor shall employ whatever cleaning methods necessary, this may require a pressure hose, to ensure compliance with the terms of this provision, and shall notify the Forest Service prior to moving each piece of equipment onto National Forest land, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Notification will include identifying the location of the equipment's most recent operations.

The Contractor shall certify, in writing, compliance with the terms of this clause prior to each start-up of operations. For the purposes of this clause, "equipment" includes all motorized equipment operated off system roads, transport vehicles, and all motorized equipment used in road maintenance. Not included are log trucks, chip vans, pickup trucks, cars, or other vehicles used to daily transport personnel.

Special care shall be taken to assure removal of noxious weeds and their seed, specifically any species on the Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board website:

http://www.nwcb.wa.gov/weed_list/weed_list.htm

1. If any previously undiscovered Threatened Endangered or Sensitive vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens, or fungi are discovered, before or during project implementation, halt work until a USFS botanist is consulted and necessary mitigation measures are enacted. The list of rare plants of concern can be found on the following website:

http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/sfpnw/issssp/agency-policy/.

2. Treat known infestations before ground disturbance begins.

TO #6 (Oka-Wen), RFP No 1205M618R0002 FSR 4300 Buttermilk Road Road Maintenance Page 11 of 52 http://www.nwcb.wa.gov/weed_list/weed_list.htm http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/sfpnw/issssp/agency-policy/

3. For actions conducted or authorized by written permit by the Forest Service that will operate outside the limits of the road prism, require the cleaning of all heavy equipment prior to entering NFS Lands. See engineering contract specs H.12.

4. Suppliers must provide annual documentation to the USFS indicating that the following products have been examined by a qualified inspector and deemed free of State listed noxious weeds:

• Straw or other Mulch

• Gravel, Rock, or other fill

• Seeds (according to AOSA standards)

5. If weeds are present in the project area, all equipment and gear must be cleaned before leaving the project area to avoid spreading the infestation further.

6. If weeds are present in the project area, work from relatively weed-free areas into the infested area rather than vica-versa.

Revegetate all areas of bare soil exposed by project activities if there is a risk of noxious weed invasion. Native plant materials are the first choice in revegetation where timely natural regeneration of the native plant community is not likely to occur. Follow revegetation criteria and specifications for this project (see Spec. 841.06 Seed Mix).

H.12 CONTROL POINTS

The Contractor is responsible for the preservation of existing bench marks and other control points. The cost of replacing them may be charged against the Contractor and may be deducted from the payment for the work. If the Contractor finds missing controls they shall notify the Government who will replace them within two (2) days.

Section 801 Quantity Measurement Terms

02/2006

1. U.S. Customary Units of measure are used in conjunction with these specifications.

2. The methods of measurement and computation will be those necessary to accurately determine the quantities of materials furnished and work performed.

3. All items, which are measured by the feet, will be measured parallel to its longitudinal centerline, unless otherwise shown on the drawings.

4. A station when used as a definition of term or measurement will be one hundred feet, or a precise location along a survey line.

5. Miles will, in the absence of known distances from existing plans or surveys, be determined by the Government using a calibrated survey odometer or equal substitute operated on the traveled way at or parallel to road centerline.

6. The term "ton" means 2000 pounds. Trucks used to haul material measured by truck weight shall be weighed empty at least once daily, and each truck shall bear a plainly legible identification mark.

Weigh tickets furnished by the Contractor from certified scales will be used to determine weight measurements.

7. Materials measured by the cubic yard in the hauling vehicle shall be measured therein at the point of delivery. Vehicles may be of any size or type, provided that the box is of such shape that the actual volume may be readily and accurately determined.

8. Measurement by the acre will use the length and width treated. Measurement of width will approximate significant slope breaks, but will not include minor deviations along the slopes. The measured slope distance for the length will multiply width treated and converted to a standard 10,000 square yard or acreage value of the surface area treated.

9. Measure square yard with horizontal longitudinal and traverse measurements.

10. The term "lump sum" when used in the Schedule of Items means the complete unit as required by or described in the contract.

11. Measurement will be made of each item or unit of work, as shown in the Schedule of Items, completed and accepted in accordance with the contract provisions, specifications, and drawings.
