1. Roadway – Vegetation removal, erosion control, road closures devices, and roadside sign repair and/or replacement.

Clear/cut vegetation; seed and mulch disturbed areas and install erosion control devices to reduce soil movement; install/replace road signs; and construct closure devices in locations shown in TO.

Vegetation is treated as shown on drawings and described in TO. Seed and mulch is distributed. Erosion control devices are installed per construction standards and gates and barriers are installed as shown on drawings.

Vegetation and erosion devices 95%.

Seed 70% germination with no bare areas in excess of one square foot.

Mulch to have 90% coverage.

Silt fence and hay bales properly installed so material does not run under or around ends. 100%

Closure devices and signs 100%

Visual 100% Measurement and Testing = 80%.

For REQUIRMENT #1 through #3, the Contractor will be entitled to an 1% INCENTIVE for each of the following performance measures attained:

1) Completion of the project within the stated performance period, with no remaining rework (1%)

2) No issuance of a Notice of Non-compliance (1%)

3) Following inspection(s), TWO (2) or fewer reworks items (1%)

Continued from Page 1:

For REQUIREMENT 1 through 3, a 1% DISINCENTIVE will be applied against each performance measure that the contractor fails to meet:

1) Failure to complete the project within the TO stated performance period (1%).

2) Issuance of a Notice of Noncompliance (-1%)

3) Following inspection(s), THREE or more rework items (-1%)

2. Road Surface– Shaping and maintaining road surface, placement of required surfacing, and treatment of subgrade

Provide safe, smooth road surface free of standing water. Includes reworking of ditches, drainage dips, turnouts, and turnarounds.

Provide and place surfacing and riprap as required in TO.

Treat subgrade as shown in TO.

Shape and maintain per road typical. Surfacing meets State/FS standards for gradation and placed to depths and widths shown on drawings and TO. Subgrade treated per drawings and TO.

Compacted to required standards.

a. Work completed to line and grades shown on drawings = 95%

b. Smooth Surface = 95%

c. Surfacing widths and depths required = 100%

Drivability on 100% of road.

Measurement of required road surfacing & dimensions = 90% Testing = 100%

3. Drainage – Clean and/or install drainage required drainage structures.

Install drainage structures to lines and grades shown on drawings and/or TO. Includes dips, pipes, ditches, and trench drains.

Construct or install per typical, remove blockages, debris and obstructions to provide free flowing structure.

a. Installed to typical = 100%

b. Free flowing = 100%

Visual = 100% Random checks on grades and dimensions

4. Equipment, Labor & Testing – Various types of equipment, laborers, sampling and testing

Provide and operate equipment as approved by FS for road work not specifically covered under other tasks and items. Complete sampling and testing as required in TO.

Equipment cleaned and inspected, meets OSHA and industry standards. Testing done as required in TO.

a. Reasonable production for task.

b. Sampling & Testing meets industry standards.

c. Equipment clean = 100%

Visual 100% Tracking time and production 100%

Continued from Page 2:

For REQUIRMENT #4, the Contractor will be entitled to an 1% INCENTIVE, if the following performance measures is met:

1) Equipment clean & approved by FS; operated safely; and hours or operation recorded (1%).

For REQUIRMENT #4, a 1% DISINCENTIVE will be applied if the contractor fails to meet the following performance measure.

1) Equipment not cleaned or approved, hours not recorded or have been falsely recorded and operated in an unsafe manner (1%).

Additional Information:

1. Incentives and Disincentives are based on the original TO amount, and are exclusive of any task order modifications, whether a task order increase or decrease.

2. Determination of TO work performed that requires rework is unilaterally made by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR).

3. Accordingly, per item 2; the Incentive/Disincentive determinations are unilaterally made by the Forest Service.

4. A COR determination that TO work fails to meet the Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) does not relieve the contractor from completing all rework. All rework will be accomplished prior to submission of an invoice, either for partial or final payment.

5. If all FOUR (4) REQUIRMENTS were inclusive in a specific TO, the then maximum INCENTIVE (Bonus) equals 4% of the original TO amount; while the maximum DISINCENTIVE (Deduct) equals -4% of the original TO amount.
