DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS

HAND THINNING

Item 0001 - Eagle Ridge Cut and Pile

1. Approximate Acreage: 115 acres

2. Location of Work Site as shown on Work Location Maps: Project area is located in Fremont County, Idaho approximately six (6) miles west of Island Park, Idaho (T13N R42E Sec. 14). Access is made by way of the Yale-Kilgore (A2) Road, Old Shotgun Road, and unimproved two-track roads. The treatment area consists entirely of BLM public land, however, private land is adjacent to but outside the treatment area. Elevations at the treatment site range from 6,340 feet to 6,380 feet.

3. Scope of Work: The Eagle Ridge Treatment (Shotgun Valley Project) was developed to reduce fuel loadings and extreme fire danger that exist around the community of Island Park, as well as improve forest health and wildlife habitat. The objective of this unit is to reduce ladder fuels as well as the tree canopy density so that the stands will be less likely to support a running crown fire. The thinning is intended to keep wildfire on the ground where it is more easily managed by wildland fire fighting resources.

4. Detailed Unit Information: The Eagle Ridge Treatment (Shotgun Valley Project) consists of lodgepole pine plantations with an occasional aspen/Douglas fir tree and brush. Tree densities of each of the units will vary in ranges of 20%-60%. The total acreage for this unit is 115 acres. Because of the scattered nature of the vegetation, not all acres within the established boundary of the unit will require the same amount of labor to achieve the specifications outlined below. The cut and piled trees will be burned at a later date. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor (i.e. knowledge and experience of the crew leader) to determine the quantity of work needed to meet specifications identified in this SOW. Acreage of the unit was determined by calculations based on a horizontal plane using GIS technology (see attached map).

I. GENERAL

1. Introduction: The Idaho Falls District, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is acquiring fuels management services to reduce the risk of wildland fires while improving forest and rangeland health.

2. Background: The project areas generally consist of one or more of the following vegetation types: stands of mixed Douglas-fir/aspen forest, Douglas-fir forests, lodgepole pine plantations, and sagebrush steppe. Fuel loadings range from less than ½ ton per acre to as high as 40 tons or more per acre. The main goals of the projects is to reduce the risk of large and/or severe wildland fire, rejuvenate quaking aspen and mountain shrub stands, and reduce Douglas fir cover there by improving the health of the sagebrush steppe and enhancing habitat for the Greater Sage-Grouse. A combination of treatment methods will be utilized over the life of the projects including: hand thinning, prescribed fire, mechanical treatments, and chemical treatments.

3. Purpose: The Contractor will furnish all tools, labor, supervision, equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, training and incidentals necessary to accomplish the removal of trees in accordance with the specifications provided. This contract is for the purposes of improving forest and rangeland health on BLM administered lands.

(ii) Severed trees are not completely limbed.

(iii) Cut vegetation is not evenly spread and exceeds six (6) inches in depth.

(iv) Cut vegetation exceeds two (2) feet in length.

(v) Trees that were not cut.

Determination of Work Quality Percentage:

Work quality percentages are derived from data developed from inspection plots. The final work quality percentage times the bid price determines the pay. A work quality percentage of 90 percent or higher will result in full payment.

If high stumps or uncut surplus trees are the primary reason for unsatisfactory work, the Contractor shall rework areas designated by the Government until satisfactory work quality is obtained.

Example: Number of trees felled within plot = 40 Number of ‘surplus’ trees= 8 trees 8 divided by 40 X 100 = 20% 100% minus 20% = 80% 80% X bid price for job = Pay Rate

TITLE: IFD Fuels Conifer Thinning 2019 Page 12

Acceptance:

(a) Satisfactory Work Quality: A minimum work quality standard of 90 percent is required.

(b) Unsatisfactory Work Quality: Based on inspection results, if the work quality percentage falls below 90 percent, the Contracting Officer will immediately notify the Contractor in writing and instruct the Contractor to improve the quality of the work. If the quality of the work is not raised to an acceptable level within two consecutive workdays after written notification, the Contracting Officer may issue a stop work order.

16. Designation of Contracting Officer’s Representative: The CO shall designate the COR and project inspectors.

The COR is responsible for administering the performance of work under this contract. In no event, however, will any understanding, agreement, modification, change order, or other matter deviating from the terms of this contract be effective or binding upon the Government unless formalized by proper contractual documentation executed by the CO prior to completion of the contract.

17. Site Tour: A site tour is planned for August 12 for Walters, August 13 for Lone Pine and August 14 for Eagle Ridge. Interested parties should take reasonable steps to ascertain the nature and location of the contract area and the work to be completed, as well as the general and local site conditions which can affect the work and cost of performance. failure to take the actions described in this paragraph will not relieve the Contractor from the responsibility of properly estimating the difficulty and cost to successfully perform the work, or from successful completion of the work without additional expense to the Government.
