C. 4. CONTRACTOR WORK REQUIREMENTS and STANDARDS.

C.4.1. General.

C.4.1.1. Number of plots per Stand

The number of plots in which data will be collected is provided in Section J. Understory and overstory data shall be collected on each of these plots.

C.4.1.2. Site Index Trees

One site tree shall be taken per stand inventoried. Record the diameter, height, species, and age for each site tree. Select a site index tree of the proper species for the Forest Type and is one of the dominant or codominant trees within the stand.

The age shall be determined by using an increment bore. Veneer Black Cherry will not be bored to determine age. If a veneer black cherry is the best site tree, it can be used to determine height and diameter but the age will be obtained from a neighboring non-veneer black cherry tree. Diameter of site trees shall be measured to a tenth of an inch. The increment bore should reach the pith of the tree and age shall be the total rings counted. If the site index tree is not measured on a inventory plot, then record azimuth, bearing, and distance to the site tree from the nearest plot. Increment cores shall be placed back in the hole made by the increment bore and the site tree flagged with two flags (other than the color orange) that go completely around the bole of the tree.

C.4.1.3. Contractor-Furnished Property

The Contractor shall use data recorders capable of using the ExamsPC software to collect stand exam data. The contractor shall also collect the inventoried plot locations using GPS that has the capability to locate the plot within + 3 meters of the actual plot location. The contractor shall provide the Government all inventory work and GPSed plot locations in an electronic format that is acceptable to the Government. If rework needs to be done within a stand the contractor will provide flagging (color has to be agreed upon by the COR).

C.4.1.4. Performance period

Multiple award of items shall not change the required performance period for each item. If multiple items are awarded to one Offeror, the respective performance times shall run concurrently, not consecutively. Work may be performed on each item in succession, provided the required rate of progress is maintained. The Government shall issue a Notice to Proceed as soon as the weather and ground conditions are favorable for work. The count of contract time shall start on the date specified on the Notice to Proceed. It is estimated that the official start date will be around June 15, 2015.

C.4.1.5. Rate of progress.

The Contractor shall maintain the rate of progress specified in the Contractor’s Resource Plan. The minimum acceptable rate of progress shall occur when the percent of work completed falls within 10 % of the time used.

C.4.1.6. Access.

The project area shall be accessed by Forest roads during the normal operating season, May through October. The Forest Service assumes no obligation to plow snow or do special maintenance to keep roads open. Stands are accessible by some combination of 2 or 4-wheel drive vehicle and foot travel. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary permission, through privately owned land, to gain access to stand locations.

C.4.1.7. Locked gates

In cases where stands are behind locked gates, authorization for limited motorized use may be granted. All requests for motorized travel behind closed roads must be submitted in writing to the COR for specific roads and specific periods of

PROJECT NAME: ALNF Common Stand Exam IDIQ time. If access is granted behind a gate, the Contractor will be responsible to ensure that gates remain closed and locked at all times and will be subject to all other restrictions of administrative use. The Contractor shall be permitted to drive from the locked gate to the stand with only the minimum number of vehicles necessary for efficient transport of the crew.

No firearms are permitted behind locked gates. No access to contractors or employees will be allowed behind locked gates after periods of work. Motorized access will not be permitted behind locked gates during hunting season of turkey, deer, or bear. Contractor shall adjust work schedule to take the closure time into consideration. No Suspend Work Orders will be issued; contract time will run during this period. Any miss use of gates may constitute loss of privileges.

C.4.2. Plot Location and Establishment.

C.4.2.1. Plot Location.

The Contractor shall locate and evenly distribute the plots throughout the stand on a systematic, unbiased, square grid basis. The grid size for determining distance between plots shall vary between stands as necessary to systematically locate the specified number of plots. Plot intervals shall be referenced in chains (1 chain = 66 ft.).

No plot center shall be located closer than 50 feet from the stand boundary or another plot. Data collected on one plot shall not overlap with data collected on another plot. Data collected on a plot shall be completely within the stand being inventoried. Plots should be taken wherever they fall, not moved to other locations to avoid thick patches of beech brush, slash piles, or other unpleasant conditions. All plots should be kept at least 50 feet from open boundaries, such as roads and powerlines.

C.4.2.2. Plot Location Technique and Establishment.

The Contractor shall navigate to plot center using a GPS unit that maintains the accuracy standard stated for plot location.

Starting points and plot centers for each plot will be identified on the ground as described below. Flagging at plot center will be labeled with compartment number, stand number, plot number, and date. The flagging will be placed directly over the plot center or starting point on a branch or other available vegetation as close as possible to plot center. A stick will be placed at plot center with a 4” piece of flagging tied to it. Plot center will be used when inspecting the contractor’s work.

Flagging between plots should be hung so one flag can be seen from another flag, but at a minimum flags shall be hung at least 50’ apart to determine bearing to next plot. Once plot center is established, the contractor shall start at True North and rotate clockwise when tallying trees. The first tree on the plot will be True North from plot center or the first tree encountered rotating in a clockwise manner from True North. All plots shall be taken continually once a new stand has been started, until all plots needed in that stand have been taken before moving to the next stand to be inventoried.

The Contractor shall use orange and white stripped flagging to locate plot centers.

C.4.2.3. Plot Acquisition.

The Contractor shall acquire GPS coordinates for each overstory plot center.

C.4.3. Common Stand Exam.

C.4.3.1. The Contractor shall locate, establish, measure and record data using variable and fixed radius subplots that shall be taken at each designated sample point. CSE data shall be collected and recorded in accordance with the Allegheny Field Guide unless specifically modified by this contract.
