FY2025 COPPER HILL MECHANICAL TREATMENT

STATEMENT OF WORK

A. OBJECTIVE

The Copper Hill Fuels Thinning Project is designed to enhance community protection against destructive forest fires in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) surrounding the areas of Penasco and Dixon. This initiative will involve selective thinning of vegetation to reduce hazardous fuel accumulation on BLM-administered lands located west of Penasco and east of Dixon. Following the thinning phase, prescribed burning will be implemented to further diminish fuel loading, thereby decreasing the potential for catastrophic wildfires to threaten these communities.

In addition to safeguarding residences, this project will play a vital role in protecting local watersheds and municipal water supplies from wildfire impacts. By creating a defensible space and reducing available fuels, the project will also establish a buffer against wildland fire starts that could potentially encroach upon the powerline corridor to the east which supplies the community of Penasco with electricity.

PROJECT SIZE

The project shall consist of three options with different acreages to quote on. Offers will be considered for award on the following schedules, but no offer will be considered for award on only a part of the schedule. Purchase Order award will be made on Option 1. Option 2 and 3 will be awarded based on availability of funding and quotes received.

DOI-AAAP-0050 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM (DEC

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 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 evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.

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

http://www.ipp.gov/ mailto:IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov http://www.cpars.gov/ http://www.cpars.gov/

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.

(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial items, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or transiting through its information system.
