SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

1.1 SCOPE: The purpose of this project is to mitigate streambed degradation and erosion issues at the outlet structure of Turkey Fork Lake, located in the Turkey Fork Recreation Area on the Chickasawhay Ranger District in the De Soto National Forest

1.2 Project Location: The site is located in Section 4, T4N, R7W, Greene County, Mississippi. From Sand Hill, go 0.6 mile north on Highway 63 and turn right on Highway 42. Go 1.3 miles on Highway 42 and take a right on

Turkey Fork Road. Go 2.7 miles on Turkey Fork Road and turn left into the Turkey Fork Recreation Area. Go 250’ and bear right, then continue for another 0.4 mile and the project site will be on the right.

1.3 Description of Work Due to the nature of this project, it will be scheduled for the dry months of the year. Prior to the beginning of work, the Forest Service will lower the lake level in an attempt to provide the contractor a reasonable window of time to complete the work without water flowing from the outlet structure.

However, there obviously cannot be any guarantees as to the lake level or whether or not the outlet will flow since this will be dependent on the whims of nature.

Remove all riprap, concrete, asphalt, etc. from the eroded areas on each side of the outlet structure behind the wingwalls and place it in low spots in the channel immediately downstream of the outlet structure. Break up the undermined portions of the paved concrete ditch on the east side of the structure and place it similarly in the channel.

Place and compact select fill in the eroded areas behind each wingwall and adjacent to the paved concrete ditch.

Slope and finish to match adjacent grade. Excavate beforehand if and as necessary to ensure no voids are left under the fill material. The fill is to be placed in 12” lifts and compacted with a vibratory rammer compactor, or similar equipment designed for the task, until there is no visible evidence of further consolidation.

Place geotextile on all areas to be armored with riprap. Geotextile shall also be placed from the channel bottom up the face of the outlet structure and wingwalls to the top of the riprap. Geotextile shall conform to the properties listed for Class 1 nonwoven in Table 714-1.

Place 200-pound riprap as shown in the plans. Place riprap, underlain by geotextile, as necessary to tie in the end of the paved ditch to the riprapped area. Place riprap, underlain by geotextile, in any other area determined by the onsite engineer to be necessary for the stabilization of the outlet basin.

On all disturbed areas, spread Bahia grass seed at the rate of 20 pounds per acres and 13-13-13 fertilizer at the rate of

500 pounds per acre. If seeding is done from September 1 to February 28, in addition to the above spread rye grass seed at the rate of 80 pounds per acre.

Price Range. Between $25,000 and $100,000

Pre-Bid Tour. No pre-bid tour is planned. For more information phone Jessica Bane 601-428-0594x 245

Start Work. It is estimated that work will begin on June 1, 2021.

FAR 52.223-9 Estimate of Percentage of Recovered Material Content for EPA-Designated Items. (MAY 2008)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

“Postconsumer material” means a material or finished product that has served its intended use and has been discarded for disposal or recovery, having completed its life as a consumer item. Postconsumer material is a part of the broader category of “recovered material.”

“Recovered material” means waste materials and by-products recovered or diverted from solid waste, but the term does not include those materials and by-products generated from, and commonly reused within, an original manufacturing process.

(b) The Contractor, on completion of this contract, shall—

(1) Estimate the percentage of the total recovered material content for EPA-designated item(s) delivered and/or used in contract performance, including, if applicable, the percentage of post-consumer material content; and

(2) Submit this estimate to the Contracting Officer of the awarded task order.

FAR 52.223-11 Ozone-Depleting Substances and High Global Warming Potential Hydrofluorocarbons (JUN 2016)

(2) Class II, including, but not limited to, hydrochlorofluorocarbons.

(b) The Contractor shall label products which contain or are manufactured with ozone-depleting substances in the manner and to the extent required by 42 U.S.C. 7671j (b), (c), and (d) and 40 CFR Part 82, Subpart E, as follows:

FAR 52.225-9 Buy American—Construction Materials (Feb 2021)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

“Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item”—

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is—

(i) A commercial item (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition at FAR 2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(4), such as agricultural products and petroleum products.

“Component” means an article, material, or supply incorporated directly into a construction material.

“Construction material” means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

“Cost of components” means—

(3) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(4) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

“Domestic construction material” means—

(1) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States;

(2) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if—

(i) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or

(ii) The construction material is a COTS item.

“Foreign construction material” means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

“United States” means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference.

(1) This clause implements 41 U.S.C. chapter 83, Buy American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the component test of the Buy American statute is waived for construction material that is a COTS item. (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows: NONE.

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that—

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American statute is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 6 percent;

12444221Q0014

(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American statute to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or

(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American statute.

(1)(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause shall include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request, including—

(A) A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;

(B) Unit of measure;

(C) Quantity;

(D) Price;

(E) Time of delivery or availability;

(F) Location of the construction project;

(G) Name and address of the proposed supplier; and

(H) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause.

(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(iii) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).

(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a determination.

(2) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American statute applies and the Contracting

Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material. However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this clause.

(3) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American statute applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American statute.

(d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c) of this clause based on unreasonable cost, the Contractor shall include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:

Foreign and Domestic Construction Materials Price Comparison

(a) Workers Compensation and Employer's Liability. The Contractor is required to comply with applicable Federal and State workers' compensation and occupational disease statutes. If occupational diseases are not compensable under those statutes, they shall be covered under the employer's liability section of the insurance policy, except when contract operations are so commingled with a

Contractor's commercial operations that it would not be practical to require this coverage. Employer's liability coverage of at least

$100,000 shall be required, except in States with exclusive or monopolistic funds that do not permit worker's compensation to be written by private carriers.

(b) General Liability. The Contractor shall have bodily injury liability insurance coverage written on a comprehensive form of policy of at least $500,000 per occurrence.

(c) Automobile Liability. The Contractor shall have automobile liability insurance written on a comprehensive form of policy. The policy shall provide for bodily injury and property damage liability covering the operation of all automobiles used in connection with performing the contract. Policies covering automobiles operated in the United States shall provide coverage of at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage or loss.

(d) Aircraft Public and Passenger Liability. When aircraft are used in connection with performing the contract, the Contractor shall have aircraft public and passenger liability insurance. Coverage shall be at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, other than passenger injury. Coverage for passenger injury shall be at least $200,000 multiplied by the number of seats or passengers, whichever is greater.

FAR 52.236-1 Performance of Work by the Contractor (APR 1984)

The Contractor shall perform on the site, and with its own organization, work equivalent to at least 20 percent of the total amount of work to be performed under the contract.
