SECTION 1: PURPOSE AND PRICING

1.1. Purpose

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Forest Service (FS) intends to establish multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) to remove danger/hazard trees that are a safety issue as a result of numerous large wildfires in the state of Oregon.

The number of BPAs awarded will be dependent upon the responses received and pricing submitted. Due to the nature of the work, as quotes are received, BPAs and calls will be awarded.

1.2. BPA Call Type

Contracting Officers (CO) shall issue firm-fixed-priced calls against the BPAs.

1.3. BPA Extent of Obligation

The Government is obligated only to the extent of authorized calls awarded under the BPAs.

1.4. Purchase Limitation

Individual calls are not expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition Procedures established in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 13 (currently $7 million) in amount.

1.5. Individuals Authorized to Purchase Under the BPA

Orders against the BPA can only be made by warranted contracting officers or warranted purchasing agents within the limits of their warrant. Orders from the Government may be placed in person, by telephone, or in writing. The vendor must receive a written record (i.e. email) of a verbal approval from the CO or a written/electronic BPA Call from the CO before any services are provided.

Any warranted CO assigned to the USFS (United States Forest Service), BLM (Bureau of Land Management) or NPS (National Park Service) may utilize this agreement. The vendor is authorized to “market” services under this BPA to interested parties identified in this section in an unobtrusive and professional manner.

1.6. Non-Personal Services

The Government shall neither supervise Vendor employees nor control the method by which the Vendor performs the required tasks. It shall be the responsibility of the Vendor to manage its employees and subcontractors and to guard against any actions that are in the nature of personal services, or give the perception of personal services as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Subpart 37.104.

SECTION 2: SCOPE

2.1 Introduction

The work is along roads that are throughout the fire perimeter on a variety of complex terrain that requires specialized equipment to perform the work in a safe and efficient manner. These trees need to be removed for the safety of employees, cooperators, contractors, and the public.

The nature of the work requires the contractor personnel to be well qualified in the profession of felling trees, stacking, decking and hauling. All contractor personnel will be required to have and maintain all licenses, qualifications and certifications required by industry, state and federal agencies.

Work to be performed includes, but is not limited to directional felling of trees, skidding of trees, processing of trees, hauling to a safe decking location, decking of logs, and piling of slash. Due to the large number of danger trees along these roads and complexity of terrain, orderly operations will be necessary to facilitate a challenging task in a safe manner. Roads vary from main paved roads with no shoulder and parallels rivers to standard level 2 forest roads with surface rock and native surfaces. Terrain varies from flat and rolling to steep and rocky with deep drainages.

2.2 Forest Service Background

Established in 1905, the Forest Service is a federal agency that manages public lands in national forests, prairies, and grasslands under a founding principle, as stated by Gifford Pinchot (the first Chief of the Forest Service), "To provide the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people in the long run". The agency’s mission is to “sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the Nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations”. The Forest Service has the responsibility for stewardship of more than 193 million acres of the nation’s forests and grasslands; for developing and communicating scientific knowledge through research and development that leads to informed natural resource decision-making; for delivering technical assistance through state and private forestry programs; and for sharing knowledge and experience with others in the global community through international forestry.

2.3 Personal Protective Equipment

The contractor will train in the safe operation and use of equipment to all workers using such equipment.

Personal protective equipment, including personal protective equipment for eyes, face, head, and extremities shall be provided, used, and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition wherever it is necessary by reason of hazards or processes encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body.

Defective or damaged personal protective equipment shall not be used.

The contractor shall provide, at no cost to the employee, to each employee who operates a chain saw, chain saw chaps and assure the chaps are worn during saw operations. These chaps must be approved by Underwriters Laboratory or meet Forest Service specification 6170-47. The chaps shall cover the full length of the thigh to the top of the boot on each leg.

The contractor shall assure that each employee wears foot protection that provides adequate traction and ankle support and must meet OAR 437-007-1320. Employees operating chain saws shall wear foot protection that is constructed with cut-resistant material which will protect the employee against contact with a running chain saw.

The contractor shall provide, at no cost to the employee, and assure that each employee who works in an area where there is potential for head injury from falling objects or flying objects wears a hard hat that meets the minimum requirements of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard Z89.1-1977 and meets the NFPA 1977 (1998 edition) standard.

The contractor shall provide, at no cost to the employee, eye protection where there is potential for eye injury due to flying objects. This eye protection must meet the minimum requirements of ANSI standard Z87.1-2003.

The contractor shall provide, at no cost to the employee, hearing protection where there is a potential for hearing loss due to high intensity noise e.g., chain saw operation

2.4 Safety

(a) Hand felling, limbing and bucking is inherently dangerous. Hazards include, but are not limited to: chainsaw injuries, long driving distances on low-grade forest roads, tripping hazards, hypothermia, fatigue, muscle strains, chemical burns, gasoline fire potential, dehydration, insect stings, overhead/falling debris, and lightning. Chainsaw hazards result from improper cutting techniques and fatigue, inattention to proper safety procedures and bar-tip location, improperly held/positioned chainsaw, poorly trained sawyers and lack of, or inadequate personal protective equipment.

(b) Driving along forest roads during early and late hours, before or after sunlight will subject drivers and riders to low light angles, dusty conditions, icy and/or muddy roads; as well as encounters with log hauling trucks, road machinery, hunters not watching the roadway, campers and other forest users that may not be intently aware of other motorists who are sharing the roadway.

(c) Other typical hazards include:

(1) Tripping hazards on forest vegetation and other debris including rocks and other hazards inclusive of slippery surfaces during periods of rain and snow.

(2) Hypothermia may occur at anytime regardless of the absence of extreme weather conditions.

(3) Fatigue may occur towards the end of the working day.

(4) Muscle strains may occur due to improper lifting, bending, twisting, or turning particularly when mounting and dismounting heavy equipment.

(5) Chemical burns may occur during the transfer of oil or gas, or by the unexpected discharge of chemical fire extinguishers.

(6) Gasoline fires may occur at anytime, but are most likely during refueling hot chainsaws, or during the transfer of petroleum products.

(7) Dehydration may occur during both warm and cool periods, and whenever employees are performing arduous tasks while neglecting to ingest adequate fluids that contain electrolytes.

(8) Insect stings or bites may occur at anytime while in the forest and may include ticks, bees, wasps, or other types of biting stinging insects.

(9) Overhead and/or falling debris may occur at anytime in the work area. It may include treetops breaking out during periods of windy conditions, snow stress, or because of decaying limbs/trunks. Also included are rolling rocks, logs, and other debris which might become dislodged on steep slopes.

(10) Lightning should be regarded as a serious threat whenever active cumulonimbus’s (thunderhead clouds) are forecast for the area, especially while working near or under tall trees.

(d) Contractor’s Operations shall facilitate Forest Service’s safe and practical inspection of Contractor’s Operations and conduct of other official duties on Contract Area. Contractor has all responsibility for compliance with safety requirements for Contractor's employees. In the event that a conflict develops between the requirements of this contract or agreed upon methods of proceeding hereunder and State or Federal safety requirements, the contract shall be modified and Contractor may request an equitable adjustment.

NOTE: Contractor shall provide a job specific safety plan addressing the hazards identified above and other potential hazards known to the Contractor. The plan shall be presented at the post award conference for discussion when awarded a BPA call.

SECTION 3: ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS

3.1 Inspection, Acceptance, and Government Quality Assurance

Inspection and acceptance of reports, work products, and other required deliverables or outputs will take place as specified in the call. Each call will identify a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or Government Technical Monitor (GTM) who will possess the delegated authority to inspect and accept all services, reports, and required deliverables or outputs.

The Government will perform quality assurance at the call level. Methods may include visual survey and review of Vendor quality control documents. Calls will specify the quality assurance techniques to be used.

3.2 BPA-Level Deliverables

The following BPA-level deliverables must be provided to the BPA CO at no additional cost to the Government:

3.2.1 Develop a list annually of calls awarded against the BPA during the period of performance, including call number, COR, modifications and modification purposes, performance standards achievement, initial completion date and final completion date, and initial funding and final funding. Interim or Final CPARS reports must be attached to the list, if available.

3.2.2 Submit the list one year after issuance of the BPA, and at the end of each year thereafter.

3.3 Performance Standards

The following performance standards will be measured and monitored at the BPA level.

Additional performance standards will be specified at the call level. Calls may include deductions or rework at no cost for failing to meet defined performance standards. Based on failure to achieve BPA Performance Standards or Acceptable Quality Levels, the Forest Service may require the Vendor to take corrective actions, exclude the Vendor from future RFQ competitions until performance improvement is sustained, or cancel the BPA.

Perf Std

Performance Standards Acceptable Quality Level (AQL)

Monitoring Method

PS-1 All calls completed on time. No deviation Annual review by COR/CO of call documentation.

PS-2 Overall CPARS ratings or annual performance reviews for calls are Exceptional or Very Good.

Individual elements of CPARS ratings or annual performance reviews for calls do not contain any ratings below Satisfactory.

Annual review by COR/CO of CPARS/annual performance review information.

3.4 Period of Performance

BPA Period of Performance. The effective date of the BPA will be stipulated in the award document. The BPA period of performance concludes five (5) years from the effective date of the BPA. Calls may only be issued during the BPA Period of Performance.

BPA Call Period of Performance. Call periods of performance cannot extend more than one

(1) years beyond the expiration of the BPA’s Period of Performance. Each RFQ will specify the period of performance for the resultant call.

3.5 Key Personnel Requirements

At all times during performance of this contract and until the work is completed and accepted, the Contractor shall directly superintend the work or assign and have on site a competent representative superintendent who has authority, in writing, to act for the Contractor. This individual shall be able to speak clearly and read proficiently in English.

3.6 Personnel Requirements

All personnel must be well qualified to accomplish the work anticipated for this BPA. If work to be performed requires a license or certification, the professional proposed must meet this requirement.

3.7 Contracting Officer

The CO has the overall responsibility for the administration of this BPA. The CO is authorized to take actions on the behalf of the Government to amend, modify or deviate from the BPA terms, conditions, requirements, specifications, details and/or delivery schedules. However, the CO may delegate certain other responsibilities to his/her authorized representative. The CO is the only individual authorized to direct and/or redirect the effort or in any way amend any of the terms of this BPA. Any changes made by the Vendor without CO authority will be made at the Vendor’s own risk. The same statements are true for Ordering Contracting Officers (OCO).

3.8 Ordering Contracting Officer

Calls may be issued by other than the BPA CO. Each Ordering Contracting Officer (OCO) will have overall responsibility for the administration of the call. The OCO may appoint, in writing, a Call Level Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or Government Technical Monitor (GTM) for technical oversight on a call.

3.9 Contracting Officer’s Representative

The COR is responsible for administering the performance of work under each call. In no event, however, will any understanding, agreement, modification, change order, or other matter deviating from the terms of the BPA or call be effective or binding upon the Government unless formalized by proper contractual documents executed by the CO in advance of the change.

Whenever, in the opinion of the Vendor, the COR requests effort outside the scope of the BPA or call, the Vendor should so advise the CO. Proceeding with work without proper contractual coverage could result in nonpayment or necessitate submittal of a contract claim.

3.10 Government Technical Monitor

The OCO may delegate duties for inspection and contract compliance to a Government Technical Monitor (GTM). The GTM is responsible for checking the Vendor's compliance with the technical specifications and call terms and conditions. The delegation must be in writing and provided to the Vendor.

3.11 Government Furnished Property (GFP) or Information (GFI)

Individual calls will specify what, if any, Government furnished items will be provided.

3.12 Invoice Instructions

Invoices and payments will be accomplished as specified on each individual call.

3.13 Onramp Procedures

These BPAs will be reviewed at least annually. Part of this review will be to determine whether it is in the best interest of the Government to reissue a solicitation.

SECTION 4: CALL PROCEDURES

4.1. Competition

All BPA awardees will be given the opportunity to compete for BPA Calls.

4.2. Issuance of Request for Quote

Contracting Officers will issue RFQs as work is identified. Each RFQ will address the following as a minimum:

a. Will be issued by email to the vendors. The Vendor is responsible for checking email for RFQ issuances as no other notice will be provided.

b. Will include the required due date, specific instructions for the submission for quotes, evaluation criteria and other information deemed appropriate.

c. Will be competitive in nature.

d. Will request a firm fixed price.

Awardees under the contract will generally be allowed 5-10 working days to prepare and submit quotes for the work required. In emergency/urgent situations, less time may be necessary based on the requirements. If an awardee is unable to perform a requirement, the awardee may submit “NO QUOTE” to the Call RFQ.

4.3. Call Award

Once an award determination is made, a legally binding, firm-fixed-price call will be issued to the successful BPA Vendor signed by the OCO. No work will begin until the Vendor has received a signed call.

All BPA Calls are subject to the terms and conditions of this contract. In the event of conflict between a BPA Call and this parent BPA, the parent BPA shall control.
