Contracting Officer: The person executing the contract, permit or license on behalf of the

Government and includes that person's designated representative, acting within the limits of their authority or the duly appointed successor to the individuals.

Loading sites/woods site/project area: A place where any product or material (including but not limited to logs, firewood, slash, soil, rock, poles, posts, etc.) is placed in or upon a truck or other vehicle.

R6-FS-6300-52

(Rev. 5/97)

Solicitation: 1240BD23Q0127

Low hazard area: Means any area where the responsible agency representative (WDNR, ORF, BIA, BLM) determines the combination of elements reduces the probability of fire starting and/or spreading.

Tractor/skidder operations: include a harvesting operation, or portion of a harvesting operation, where tractors, skidders, or other harvesting equipment capable of constructing fire line, are actively yarding forest products and can quickly reach and effectively attack a fire start.

Waivers, written in advance, may be used for any and all activities. Activities for which waivers may be issued include, but are not limited to:

a. Mechanized loading and hauling;

b. Road maintenance such as sprinkling, graveling, grading and paving;

c. Cable yarding using gravity systems or suspended lines and blocks, or other yarding systems where extra prevention measures will significantly reduce the risk of fire;

d. Powers saws at loading sites or in felling and bucking where extra prevention measures will significantly reduce the risk of fire;

e. Maintenance of equipment (other than metal cutting and welding) or improvements such as structures, fences and power lines.

Such waiver, or substitute precautions will prescribe measures to be taken by the

Contractor to reduce the risk of ignition, and/or the spread of fire. The Contracting Officer shall consider site-specific weather factors, fuel conditions, and specific operations that result in less risk of fire ignition and/or spread than contemplated when precaution level was predicted.

Consideration shall also be given to measures that reduce the precaution levels above. The

Contractor shall assure that all conditions of such waivers or substitute precautions are met.

The Contractor shall obtain the predicted Industrial Fire Precaution Level daily, prior to the start of work, from the appropriate Ranger District headquarters. If predictions made after 6:00 p.m., local time, are significantly different than the original prediction, the Forest Service will inform the Contractor when changes in restrictions or industrial precautions are made.

NOTE: The IFPL system does not apply on lands protected by ODF east of the summit of the Cascades.

Where hauling involves transit through more than one shutdown/regulated use area, the precaution level at the woods loading site shall govern the level of haul restriction, unless otherwise prohibited by other than industrial precaution level system.
