(vi) Description of Requirement (including a list of any attachments)

C.1 SCOPE OF CONTRACT

This portion of the solicitation requires a mandatory reduction in fuel loading on approximately 940 acres by piling activity created slash (432 acres) and mastication of live vegetative materials (508 acres). Depending on availability of funds, up to an additional 1,751 acres in optional work may be awarded. Piling would occur with a “lift and pile” mechanism rather than a “push and pile” mechanism. Work shall be performed on slopes up to 30 percent.

(a) The objective is to reduce the slash layer to a depth of 2 to 6 inches, and to eliminate vegetative competition of brush and small diameter saplings through mechanical mastication. Logs greater than 18 inches in diameter will be left in place.

Contractor shall identify the location of the equipment's most recent operations. If the prior location of the Off-Road Equipment cannot be identified, Forest Service will assume that it is infested with seeds of invasive species of concern. In addition, prior to moving Off-Road Equipment from an area on this contract that is shown on Project Area Map to be infested with invasive species of concern to any other area that is indicated on Project Area Map as being free of invasive species of concern, Contractor shall again take reasonable measures to make each such piece of equipment free of soil, seeds, vegetative
