1 Hog Removal 1 Hog (All Sizes) 3000

C.1 Description of Work

The contractor will be required to assist the USDA Forest Service - Savannah River (USFS- SR) in controlling the wild hog population on the Savannah River Site (SRS). The work being performed will consist of capturing and dispatching wild hogs primarily using various traps.

Contractors also have the option to use trained dog packs for catching and dispatching hogs in tandem with trapping efforts during certain times of the year. The use of dogs is Not a requirement for this contract. The term “wild hog” refers to any wild-living form of Sus scrofa, including Eurasian wild board, feral hogs, or hybrids between these two forms. The location, date, methods and time of this work shall be determined by the Contracting Officers Representative (COR).

C.2 Project Location

All trapping and removal efforts will take place within the property boundaries of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Savannah River Site. The SRS is a 198,000-acre controlled nuclear facility bordering the Savannah River in South Carolina. (See Figure 1 for Location Map)

Certain areas of the site can be off limits to entry and others such as the Advanced Tactical Training Area (ATTA) can be restricted for periods of time due to training. Access to such areas will require coordination with COR and USFS-SR dispatch. Contamination and high security areas around the site are also off limits to entry by the contractor and their employees. COR and USFS-SR staff will provide more information upon contract award.

• Once a contractor or their employee enters site property and leaves a main paved road, they are considered a “remote worker” and must call out via phone or radio to USFS-SR dispatch or SRS Operations Center when USFS dispatch is not on duty.

o Personnel are required to notify dispatch which grid they are going to, when they change grid locations, and when they leave for the day.

• All remote workers are required to have a cell phone and either a site pager or radio on them on at all times. Radios, signed out daily and pagers can be signed out from the USFS-SR office.

• Contractors and employees are required to carry a mobile radio with them at all times when running dogs.

C.7 Measurement and Payment

The Forest Service COR will monitor the efforts of the contractor to determine that the work meets and follows the contract requirements and DOE SRS rules and operational procedures. In the field visual observations by the COR or designated inspector and submitted hog removal data will be used.

All hogs regardless of weight, size, or age will receive the same cost as the listed bid price or the incentivized adjusted bid price. Hog removal numbers for reporting and the incentivized adjusted bid price will reset to 0 at the beginning of each fiscal year (October 1st)

The contract option might not be exercised if the contractor does not maintain adequate number of traps and/or fails to maintain adequate hog dispatch numbers as determined by the COR.

COR has the discretion to request that entire hogs or specific parts of their anatomy be brough back to the USFS-SR office for proof of removal at any time. Failure to comply with the CORs request will result in no payment for those recorded hogs.

If a hog with a collar or ear tags is caught either by trapping efforts or dogs, the contractor should contact the COR for further instructions. If an active research hog that is collard and/or ear tagged is caught and released more than once, the contractor will only receive payment for one capture during the active research period. Once the research project is complete, and the contractor catches and dispatches the same hog again, the contractor will also receive payment for the final capture.

Forest Service COR inspections will be documented in Daily Diaries and kept in the contract file. If efforts do not meet the Acceptable Quality Level given below, a Notice of Non-Compliance will be issued by the COR. The COR may issue other cure notices if work is not being performed in a timely manner or does not comply with contract specifications.

Upon submission of an invoice the contractor must first have submitted all hog removal data for the hog numbers invoiced via the Survey 123 form to the COR or designated inspector. Contractor will not receive payment for hogs that have not been recorded or correctly submitted via the Survey 123 form. Payment will not be made until COR or inspector(s) have verified that all documents and records of dispatched hogs are consistent and accurate. The COR will decide the details of when an invoice can be submitted. The COR may alter the invoice submittal details when it is advantageous for the government and all parties involved with the contract.
