Box 111, Lakeview, OR 97630; hereafter Complex) has a requirement to apply indaziflam and imazapic herbicides and appropriate adjuvants to approximately 278 acres, split into 3 areas. Each area will be applied with 5 oz/acre each of indaziflam and imazapic and at 5 gallons mix/acre rate.

1.2 Herbicides are being applied primarily to control invasive annual grasses (IAG), including, but not necessarily limited to, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), field brome (B. arvensis; aka, Japanese brome [B. japonicus], North Africa grass (Ventenata dubia) and medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae). All known occurrences of medusahead in the Complex are included in the treatment areas, with the goal of working towards eradication.

1.3 Contractors must have all necessary qualifications for herbicide application in the state of Oregon.

2. Place of Performance and Period of Performance

2.1 Herbicides are to be applied within Complex-designated areas on Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge (Lake County, OR; closest address 38782 Hart Mountain Rd, Plush, OR 97637). Application areas are within approximately 1.5 miles NE of the refuge headquarters (located at WGS84: -119° 39.292’ x 42° 32.947’), within 3 miles N of the refuge headquarters, and within 3.5 miles NE of the refuge headquarters.

2.2 See attached map, with the locations of treatment areas.

2.3 Herbicides shall be applied in fall of 2024, after sufficient moisture has been received to trigger fall germination of annual grasses; this trigger-point determination will be made by Complex personnel. All applications must be completed before December 1, 2024.

2.3.1 The project area is approximately 5,600 feet ASL, in the high-desert of southeastern Oregon. Night-time temperatures can fall below freezing during this time of year, and daytime temps occasionally rise to the 70’s.

2.3.2 Weather conditions can be highly variable, including storms (rain and snow), high temps, inversions, prolonged wind events, etc. Any of these can delay implementation and/or completion of the project.

2.3.3 Hart Mountain Refuge headquarters is at a junction on a long, rough, steep and winding gravel road. Ground access can be hard on equipment. Contractors are strongly encouraged to take adequate precautions when moving equipment into the project area.

2.4 Normal duty hours Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. In the event of emergencies, Contractor shall provide contact information.

3.6. Currently no refuge roads are available for use as landing strips for fixed wing aircraft. There are sites available for use by rotary wing aircraft.

3.7 The contractor shall be responsible for conducting all flight-following as applicable.

Communications must be maintained between ground personnel and aircraft at all times.

3.8 The contractor shall provide the Technical POC with contact information for all ground personnel, and vehicle and equipment identification information (including make, model, and license and/or identification numbers) at least 48 hours before implementation of the project.

4. Deliverables and/or Delivery Schedule:

NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS

Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (December 2015)

1) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

2) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

3) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no

DOCUMENT TITLE

Herbicide Application later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO). Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

4) When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.

5) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at https://www.cpars.gov/.

a) Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the 6.evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.

b) Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should a)provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.

c) All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

d) If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in the space provided, and then selecting "Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation".

e) Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS-RC marked as "Pending" with or without comments and whether or not it has been closed.

f) If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: "The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment."

6) The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

a) Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.

b) Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

c) Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

7) If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the CO no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.

8) A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.
