NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS

United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Ombudsman Program

The USDA is committed to issuing solicitations and awarding contracts in a fair and prompt manner.

The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to address protest issues within the agency, providing an alternative to costly and time-consuming litigation. Operating independently, OPAP offers relief comparable to that granted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Interested parties are encouraged to resolve concerns through USDA’s internal Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process before pursuing external forums such as the GAO.

Concerns may be addressed informally or through a formal agency protest filed with either the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman.

Informal Forum with the Ombudsman

1. Initial Point of Contact: Interested parties who believe a specific USDA procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer.

2. Escalation: If the Contracting Officer is unable to address their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the USDA Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process, the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Utilization of the informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a formal protest with the agency or other forums.

3. Required Information: To ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).

Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman

1. Effort to Resolve: Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the Contracting Officer through open and frank discussions.

2. Independent Review: If the protester’s concerns remain unresolved, an Independent Review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest with either the Contracting Officer or, alternatively, with the Ombudsman under the OPAP program. Contract awards or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless justified in writing for urgent and compelling reasons or determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government.

3. Resolution Timeline: The agency’s goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from the date of filing.

4. Required Information: Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.104(a)(3).

Failure to submit the required information may result in a delay or dismissal of the protest.

5. Timeliness: Protests must be filed within the timeframes specified in FAR 33.104.

6. Submission: Formal protests under the OPAP program should be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer.

Election of Forum. By initiating a protest with the USDA, the protester agrees not to pursue the same matter with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or any other external forum while the agency protest is pending. If a protest is filed externally, the agency protest will be dismissed.

SCOPE OF WORK

The contractor shall provide all materials, labor, equipment, tools, transportation, permits, licenses, supervision, expertise, and other incidentals necessary to successfully complete road maintenance services including tasks and subtasks related to roadside brushing on National Forest roads in Arkansas and Oklahoma.

LOCATION

Roads are located within Forest boundaries of the Ouachita National Forest. Specific work locations have been attached to this statement of work. Electronic maps will be provided by the Contracting Officer’s Representative upon issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Mileage listed has been determined by odometer or Geographic information system (GIS). For purposes of the contract, quantities listed are considered actual and not an estimate.

PERFORMANCE OF SIMILAR WORK BY THE GOVERNMENT

Nothing in this contract restricts the Government from performing any of the work with its own organization and workforce.

CONTRACTOR REPRESENTATIVE

The contractor shall provide a contract representative for the performance of the work. The name of this person and an alternate(s) who shall act for the contractor when the contractor is absent shall be designated in writing to the contracting officer.

EQUIPMENT CLEANING – INVASIVE SPECIES OF CONCERN

The contractor shall ensure that any equipment intended for use during contract performance, either mechanical or otherwise, shall be free from invasive species of concern before use on this contract or any subsequent task order. (i) Prior to commencing work on a project, the contractor shall advise the Forest Service of previous equipment cleaning measures and make equipment

Attachment 002 available for inspection upon request. Forest Service shall have 2 days, excluding weekends and Federal holidays, to inspect any equipment to ensure it is free of invasive species of concern.

Equipment shall be considered clean when a visual inspection does not disclose seeds, soil, vegetative matter, and other debris that could contain or hold seeds of invasive species of concern.

After satisfactory inspection or after such 2-day period, the contractor may proceed with work as directed by the Contracting Officer (CO) (ii) If the contractor desires to clean equipment on National Forest land, such as at the end of a project or prior to moving to or through an area that is free of invasive species of concern, the contractor shall obtain prior approval from CO as to the location for such cleaning and measures, if any, for controlling impacts. The respective District Offices maintain a current list and maps of areas known by the Forest Service that are infested with invasive species of concern and are available upon request. The parties shall promptly communicate with one another with respect to description or designation of additional locations;

discovery of locations of new species or new infestation; and addition of species to the list of invasive species of concern and any potential impact on contract operations.

PROTECTION OF EXISTING VEGETATION, STRUCTURES, EQUIPMENT, UTILITIES, AND

IMPROVEMENTS

(a) The Contractor shall preserve and protect all structures, equipment, and vegetation (such as trees, shrubs, and grass) on or adjacent to the work site, which are not to be removed, and which do not unreasonably interfere with the work required under this contract. The Contractor shall only remove trees when specifically authorized to do so and shall avoid damaging vegetation that will remain in place.

(b) The Contractor shall protect from damage all existing improvements and utilities at or near the work site, and on adjacent property of a third party, the locations of which are made known to or should be known by the Contractor. The Contractor shall repair any damage to those facilities, including those that are the property of a third party, resulting from failure to comply with the requirements of this contract or failure to exercise reasonable care in performing the work. If the Contractor fails or refuses to repair the damage promptly, the Contracting Officer may have the necessary work performed and charge the cost to the Contractor.

(c) The Contractor shall take every precaution necessary to prevent pollution of any stream. All streams shall be kept free of Contractor generated debris. Heavy equipment shall not operate within the streamside management zones as designated by the COR. The COR will designate stream crossings if required.

(d) Improvements such as fences, gates, property boundaries, corner monuments and trees that are marked or identified with paint, signs, tags, and/or blazes shall be protected by the contractor.

(e) Trees that are located adjacent to roads, fire lines, fences, private property, right-of-ways, or other structures and are designated for treatment shall be severed and felled so as not to damage, lean on, clog or otherwise obstruct existing structures or facilities.

(f) The contractor will notify the COR immediately of any damaged structures and repair damages that have resulted from the contractor’s operations.

(g) Lead off and wing ditch structures that have been constructed for system roads shall be protected.

DOCUMENTATION

The contractor is required to maintain a Work Plan and Schedule, Quality Control Plan, and Safety Plan acceptable to the Government throughout the life of this contract.

INSPECTION AND TESTING

The contractor shall make available to the Government any records, materials, and other evidence regarding inspection, testing, and quality control for any work performed under this contract for examination, audit, or reproduction. This requirement also applies to any subcontracts under this contract. The Contractor shall notify subcontractors appropriately and insert this requirement in all subcontracts under this contract.

ROADSIDE BRUSHING

1. Roadside brushing consists of cutting woody plant growth 4 inches in diameter and less.

2. Trees larger than those specified in number 1 can be left by brushing as close to them as practical. Any standing tree inadvertently damaged by Contractor's activity shall be felled outside the roadway.

3. Brush and trees shall be cut as near flush with the ground as possible with a desired height of 6 inches or less and an absolute maximum height of 12 inches. In areas of protruding rocks and stumps, the brushing height shall be as close as practical to the objects.

4. Brushing width and height shall be as shown on Roadside Brushing & Overhead Trimming Detail. Additional clearing width shall be required at intersections and blind curves to provide safe sight distance.

5. Concentration of slash shall be removed from ditches and culvert inlets. All slash shall be placed such that it will not fall, roll, or slide into ditches or onto roadbed. All slash larger than two inches in diameter or two feet in length shall be removed from the roadbed. Rocks larger than 3 inches that roll onto the roadbed or into ditches because of the brushing operation shall be removed and disposed of by scattering on the backslope or fill slope.

6. Brushing slash shall be left so as not to be hanging in adjacent trees or brush.

7. The Contractor shall preserve and protect all the natural drains and streams on or adjacent to the work site. In the event the contractor causes debris to enter such drainages, the contractor shall remove such debris as soon as practicable, but no later than 48 hours following the occurrence and in such a manner that will cause the least disturbance to the drainages.

8. Wheeled or track-laying equipment shall not be operated in natural drains and streams except within the roadway where a road crosses such drainage.

9. Brushing work shall be accomplished after the last frost and before the first frost. This is typically between April 1st and November 1st.
