(b) Materials produced or processed from Government lands in excess of the quantities required for performance of this contract are the property of the Government. The Government is not obligated to reimburse the Contractor for the cost of their production.

Material Sources

(a) Designated Sources - Sources of local materials are designated on the drawings. The Government assumes responsibility for the quality and quantity of material in the source. The Contractor shall determine the equipment and work required to produce the specified product.

The Contractor shall utilize all suitable material in the source. The designation of source will include the rights of the Contractor to use certain area(s) for plant site, stockpiles, and haul roads.

When materials are subject to weight measurement, the weight/volume relationship used for determination of designed quantities will be shown on the Drawings.

Should the designated source, due to causes beyond the control of the Contractor, contain insufficient suitable material, the Government will provide another source with an equitable adjustment in accordance with Clauses 52.243-5, Changes and Changed Conditions or Clause 52.236-2, Differing Site Conditions.

Quality Testing shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.

Test results shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer. Storage Stockpiling of Materials:

Materials shall be stored to assure the preservation of quality and fitness for the work. Stored materials shall be located to facilitate their prompt inspection.

Changes within specified tolerances (such as adjustment of horizontal or vertical alignment) shall be made as necessary to maintain earthwork quantities substantially as designed within balance points. Such adjustments shall not be considered as "Changes" under Clause 52.243-5.

H.14 SAFTEY

Contractor shall be aware of the public when moving equipment around the project since there will be pedestrian traffic around the construction site.

(a) Forest labor activities and chainsaw work is inherently dangerous. Hazards include, but are not limited to: chain saw 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.

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.

H. 15 NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL

(a) In order to prevent the potential spread of noxious weeds onto the Deschutes National Forest, the Contractor shall be required to furnish the Forest Service with proof of weed-free equipment before entering the National Forest.

(b) Noxious weeds are defined as any exotic plant species established or that may be introduced in the State, which may render the land unfit for agriculture, forestry, livestock, wildlife, or other beneficial uses and which is designated by the Oregon Department of Agriculture or the Crook, Wheeler, Deschutes, or Grant County Weed Board or by other appropriate agencies having jurisdiction.

(c) All equipment and vehicles to be used at the job site shall be cleaned and certified free of noxious weeds and their seeds prior to entrance onto the National Forest. The restriction shall include equipment and vehicles intended for off-road use, as well as on road use, whether they are owned, leased, or borrowed by the Contractor or subcontractor.

(d) Cleaning shall consist of the removal of all dirt, grease, debris, and materials that may harbor noxious weeds and their seeds. This may require the use of a pressure hose. Cleaning shall occur off Federal lands.

(e) Equipment, materials and vehicles shall be visually inspected by a designated Forest Service Officer, and certified in writing to be reasonably clean and weed free. Inspections will take place at a location designated by the Forest Officer in advance of equipment and material arrival. Equipment and vehicles are expected to proceed directly to the job site following the inspection. Materials to be used on the project will be delivered to the job site following the inspection. Materials to be used on the project will be delivered to the project after inspection and approval.

(f) Certification shall remain valid for each identified piece of equipment or vehicle only for the duration of the specified project and only as long as the vehicle or equipment remains at the job site. Equipment and vehicles (excepting passenger vehicles - this includes pickups and vans) that leave the job site will need to be recertified as weed free before they are allowed to return to the job site or re-enter the National Forest.
