SECTION C--DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 SCOPE OF CONTRACT

Description of Work:

The intent of this contract is to secure forestry-related services for performing hazardous fuels reduction treatments on approximately 119 acres of moderately-dense to open Jeffrey pine forested lands within the Laguna Mountain Recreation Area and on 84 acres of mixed chaparral shrub lands adjacent to the community of Carveacre. Both project areas are located on the Descanso Ranger District of the Cleveland National Forest in southeastern San Diego County, CA. Treatments will include one or more of the following activities: cutting of small diameter live and dead trees with chainsaws, cutting of live and dead shrubs with chainsaws; pruning limbs of residual conifer trees with chainsaw; applying a borax compound to freshly cut coniferous stumps; piling by hand all contractor generated cut material and existing dead and down woody debris; and covering piles with paper. Additionally in the Carveacre project area a subsequent foliar application of herbicide on cut plants will be made during a second entry in the Spring when cut shrubs have begun to sprout. One optional forested unit, 94 acres in size, within the Mount Laguna Recreation Area may be awarded at a future date dependent on price and availability of funding.

Contractor Responsibility: The Contractor shall provide everything--including, but not limited to, all equipment, supplies, transportation, labor, and supervision--necessary to complete the project, except for that which the contract clearly states is to be furnished by the Government.

C.2 Project Location & Description

Location: The projects are located on the Cleveland National Forest, Descanso Ranger District.

Description: The project areas are generally identifiable by changes in vegetation, roads, flagging, or through geographical information systems (GIS) data. The boundaries can be adjacent timber stands or project units, recent harvest units, or other natural or manmade features that clearly define the boundary as noted on the project area maps. In most cases the interior and exterior boundaries of the project areas will be flagged with Florescent Blue flagging or otherwise described below or by Contracting Officer’s Representative (from now on COR). If there is any discrepancy on the boundaries of individual work areas within units the COR must be contacted as soon as possible and no more work must take place until the discrepancy is resolved.

C.8-2 Specifications

C.8-2.1 Hand Thin w/ Chainsaws, Prune, and Hand Pile (Item 1)

C.8-2.1.1 Thinning Conifers w/ Chainsaws - All live and dead coniferous trees less than or equal to 10.0” DBH are evaluated for cut or leave status. The result of thinning effort is all conifers trees less than 10” DBH, which were not selected as Leave Trees, are cut down. Trees are cut below the lowest live limb and completely severed from the stump.

Leave Trees are un-damaged by Contractor’s operations, except for minor bark scraping, which does not expose the cambium.

C.8-2.1.2 Stump Height – Resulting stumps of all cut trees live or dead shall be less than 6 inches when measured from the uphill side.

C.8-2.1.3 Leave Tree Spacing - Spacing may vary by up to 25 percent but will average 25

ft. from bole to bole. Spacing shall result in leaving a healthy, vigorous understory of seedling, sapling, and pole sized trees. Live oak trees greater than 6 inches DBH count as leave trees and should be reflected when meeting leave tree spacing requirements. Live oak trees less than 6 inches in DBH may be ignored.

These trees should generally cover the entire acre, but are not arranged in a grid-like fashion. Trees occur individually or in small clumps (3 to 5 trees), depending on the existing forest arrangement.

C.8-2.1.4 Cut and Leave Tree Selection - Generally, the Contractor will select Leave Trees, which are of superior size (height over DBH) and vigor from the remaining intermediate and suppressed trees, choose superior vigor trees as Leave Trees, regardless of spacing. The crowns of Leave Trees generally do not touch one another.

The following protocol should be used in identifying trees to be cut in an area:

1. Cut all dead trees under 10 inches in DBH regardless of species and location.

2. Cut all live conifer trees less than 10 inches in DBH located within 10 feet of the dripline of large healthy oak trees with a DBH over 6 inches.

3. Cut all live conifer trees less than 10 inches in DBH when located under the crown of a residual conifer tree greater than 10 inches in DBH (fuel ladder) or within 1.5 times the length of the dripline of large old conifer trees greater than 24 inches in DBH.

4. After ensuring 1-3 are met, thin the remaining acres to the Leave Tree Spacing guidelines shown above retaining the following species in order of preference:

Oak, Pine, Fir, and Cedar. At no time may a live oak tree be cut.

C.8-2.1.5 Leave Tree Pruning – Remove live and dead limbs to within 1 inch of the bole on all residual conifer trees to a height of 6 feet or 1/3rd the total tree height for trees 12 feet or less in height. Do not prune Oaks.

C.8-2.1.6 Borax Compound Stump Application – Cellu-treat™ (or Sporax ™) shall be evenly applied to all live and recently dead conifer stumps within four hours of cutting the tree. A non-toxic die must be used to aid in inspection when using either substance in a liquid form. Manufacturers recommended mixing and safety guidelines shall be adhered

to. Usage will be reported to COR at end of contract prior to submitting invoice for final payment.

C.8-2.1.7 Thinning of Shrubs w/ Chainsaw – Remove all shrubs from within 10 feet of the dripline of all leave trees; both conifer and hardwood. Within large patches of shrubs (>2 acres) remove all shrubs within 25 feet of the dripline from the forest edge. Favor leaving islands of bigberry manzanita. Shrubs shall be severed below a 4 inch height.

C.8-2.1.8 Pile Location –

1. Piles shall not be created within 100 feet of any cabin, outbuilding, or improvement, i.e. utility lines.

2. Piles shall not be closer than 15 feet to boles of Leave Trees or within 10 feet from the dripline; whichever is further.

3. Piles shall be at least 15 feet from retained snags, project perimeter, shrub islands, and any down log exceeding 12 inches diameter at the large end, unless approved by the COR.

4. Slash shall not be piled or placed on logs, rocks, or stumps, in roadways, swales, or drainage ditches, on springs or seeps, or within 30 feet of stream channels, lakes, ponds or meadows as shown on the contract area map and/or observed on the ground.

C.8-2.1.9 Pile Construction - All piles shall be constructed by laying limbs, stems, cut boles, and all other slash, including existing down woody material up to 12 inch diameter in the pile, in a vertical arrangement, so as to be triangular in shape. Slash shall be bucked to 4 foot lengths and limbed to facilitate tight piles.

C.8-2.1.10 Pile Size – Unless approved otherwise by the COR in writing, maximum pile size shall be 10 feet in diameter by 6 feet in height, and minimum pile size shall be 5 feet in diameter by 4 feet in height at the time of final inspection.

C.8-2.1.11 Pile Covering - All constructed piles shall receive one – (1) 4 foot wide by 6 foot long sheet, or multiples sheets to cover 60 percent of the surface area, whichever is greater; of Kraft paper at the 2/3rd depth of the pile. Contractor shall pile additional material (top third) on top of the Kraft paper to prevent paper from moving off the pile by environmental conditions. On hillsides, paper shall be shifted to downhill side of pile to allow for ease of ignition.

C.8-2.2 Chaparral Fuelbreak Construction (Item 2)

C.8-2.2.1 Thinning of Shrubs w/ Chainsaw - Remove 70 percent of live shrubs and all dead shrubs from treatment units. Leave untreated islands, generally no greater than 0.25 acre in size, in an irregular pattern distributed throughout the unit. Islands, as well as unit boundaries, should have a wavy form or outline to provide a natural appearance. Avoid treating individuals of oaks, bigberry manzanita, and Spiny Redberry. Shrubs shall be severed below a 4 inch height.

C.8-2.2.2 Pile Location –

1. Piles shall be at least 15 feet from shrub islands, the drip line of residual oak trees and the project boundary unless approved by the COR.

2. Slash shall not be piled or placed on logs, rocks, or stumps, in roadways, swales, or drainage ditches, on springs or seeps, or within 50 feet of stream channels, lakes, or ponds as shown on the contract area map and/or observed on the ground.

3. Piles shall not be created within 100 feet of improvements, i.e. utility lines.

C.8-2.2.3 Pile Construction - All piles shall be constructed by laying cut stems, and all other slash, including existing down woody material up to 12 inch diameter in the pile, in a vertical arrangement, so as to be triangular in shape. Slash shall be bucked to 4 foot lengths and limbed to facilitate tight piles.

C.8-2.2.4 Pile Size – Unless approved otherwise by the COR in writing, maximum pile size shall be 10 feet in diameter by 6 feet in height, and minimum pile size shall be 5 feet in diameter by 3 feet in height at the time of final inspection.

C.8-2.2.5 Pile Covering - All constructed piles shall receive one – (1) 4 foot wide by 6 foot long sheet, or multiples sheets to cover 60 percent of the surface area, which is greater; of Kraft paper at the 2/3rd depth of the pile. Contractor shall pile additional material (top third) on top of the Kraft paper to prevent paper from moving off the pile by environmental conditions. On hillsides, paper shall be shifted to downhill side of pile to allow for ease of ignition.

C.8-2.2.6 Herbicide Application Herbicide application would commence during a second entry into the unit in mid to late spring months in 2020. Application will target sprouting shrubs initially cut in item 2.

The following elements shall be adhered to during application:

1. All herbicide application would adhere to all applicable Federal laws and laws of the State of California and San Diego County. The contractor must be operating under a California Qualified Applicator license or certificate and be registered with the Department of Agriculture in San Diego County. The contractor is responsible for reporting herbicide application to the county as required by State regulation.

2. Work crews would be supervised to ensure that specific safety practices are followed.

These practices include the use of appropriate protective clothing. Clean water and soap would be available for emergency washing.

3. The contractor will supply all herbicide mixtures and spraying equipment as part of the cost of the crew. The triclopyr solution will be mixed for a low volume foliar application. With an average of 1-2lbs active ingredient (1/2 gallons of Garlon 3a (or equivalent) being sprayed per acre, the total herbicide required will be approximately 50 gallons.

4. The herbicide would be mixed to label specification with a modified seed oil (MSO) surfactant and marker dye.

5. The herbicide formulation for all plants will consist of a solution of Triclopyr TEA (example Garlon 3a) and a vegetable or methylated seed oil surfactant (ex. MSO) and a registered dye. No diesel or other petrochemical based surfactants may be used.

The formulation used must have final approval by the COR and will be mixed to label specifications for foliar application.

6. Herbicides would be applied to shrubs previously cut and currently sprouting using hand sprayers or backpack sprayers, potentially with daubing attachments. No aerial application of herbicides would occur.

7. No foliar spray activities would be allowed if wind velocity is expected to exceed five miles per hour.

8. No herbicide treatments would be allowed when rain is occurring or likely to take place within 48 hours.

9. Herbicides would not be applied directly to surface waters. Treatments would be timed to minimize the potential for introduction of herbicide to surface waters. When a target species occurs adjacent to surface waters care would be taken to prevent herbicide drift to surface waters, including trimming and folding of plants away from waters.

C.8-2.2.4 Herbicide Reporting Requirements - The contractor must report to the Forest Service the total amount of herbicide applied and chemical formulation and location applied detailed for each day. These totals can be presented in one summary report at the end of treatment and prior to submitting of final invoice.

C.8-3 Contractor-Furnished Equipment Unless otherwise specified herein, the Contractor shall provide all labor, transportation, materials, and equipment necessary to perform the work as described herein.

The Forest Service anticipates the use of at least 1 seven man handcrew with chainsaws to complete the tasks stated under C.8-2.

C.8-4 Government-Furnished Property See Section G.

C.8-5 Public Safety

A safety plan will be discussed with Contractor upon award and may vary on complexity and proximity to high use areas. At a minimum, contractor shall post “Tree Work Ahead” signs, or other similar precautionary signage; at all entry points into or adjacent to the unit when tree felling is occurring in proximity to multi-use trails along boundaries or that intersect the unit. Temporary trail closures may be warranted and will be discussed with contractor prior to operations.

Project areas are located along paved roads, near residential areas, near popular recreation areas, and along power line roads with live wires. Therefore, warning signs, flaggers, and/or other safety precautions, dependent on operations, shall be employed by the contractor to ensure public and employee safety. Warning signs must meet standards set forth in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

C.8-6 Salvage Rights No salvage rights exist under this contract.

C.8-7 Road Maintenance Road maintenance is not required. All roads and multi-use trails shall remain open, unobstructed, and free of trees and/or slash at all times during the Contractors’ operations. Any damage caused by contractors’ activities to gates, drainage structures, multi-use trails, or deleterious road bed re-shaping shall be repaired at the contractors’ expense and under the direction of the Contracting Officer.
