4.2 Protection: The contractor is required to protect survey monuments from damage. In case of destruction or removal by the contractor, the Government will replace the monuments and the actual cost for replacement will be deducted from payment due the contractor.

4.3 Cutting and Shredding:

4.3.a General: All trees 16” DBH and less within the designated treatment areas shall be cut and shredded (masticated). Total acreage is 628 acres. The treatment area can be described as rolling terrain (< 15% slope) a moderate density of 1” to 12” diameter juniper trees. The majority of the trees are in the 6” – 12” range with multiple stems. Isolated larger trees (14”- 18”) are also present. Some rocks and drainages are present and the overall level of difficulty is low.

4.3.b Specific:

• All visible juniper trees 16” DBH and less within the designated areas will be mulched while leaving sage brush untreated (some incidental sage brush mastication is expected). Stump height of treated trees will be less than 6". Very small trees or those with very low branches will need to be masticated to ground level in order to remove all branches. It is important that all limbs are removed to insure the tree mortality. Trees less than 2’ tall may be removed by hand tools or chainsaws and not mulched if desired. If obstacles are encountered, such as rocks or drainages, the Contractor may temporarily increase the stump height to prevent cutter head damage.

• 100% removal of Mountain brush species will occur in Designated Sage Grouse treatment units and within 100ft of any road in all units.

• 50% removal of Mountain brush species will occur beyond 100ft of roads in standard treatment units (Non-PHMA/GHMA units)

• Mountain Brush species at or below Sage Brush height will not be treated and all treated brush will be ground down to Sage Brush height.

4.3.c Vegetation shall be reduced to a mulch material with a minimum of 80% of the woody material less than 1" in diameter and 6" long. The mulch shall be scattered so as to not have piles deeper than 6”.

4.3.d If working within 500’ of a road or two-track, the contractor shall furnish two warning signs to be placed on the roadside prior to entrance to the work area. Signs shall be a minimum of 3 feet by 3 feet in dimension and shall warn of possibility of flying debris.

4.4.a The Contractor may be held liable for all operator fire starts. All applicable state and local fire prevention laws must be followed by the Contractor, unless written direction is provided by the Contracting Officer.

4.4.b Contractor at a minimum must:

• Operate all internal and external combustion engines on federally managed lands per 36 CFR 261.52, which requires all such engines to be equipped with a qualified spark arrester that is maintained and not modified. Spark Arresters: Shall meet current U.S. Forest Service Standard Spark Arrester Guidelines.

• Carry shovels, water, and fire extinguishers that are rated at a minimum as ABC - 10 pound on all equipment and vehicles.

• Have means of communications with Contracting Officer Representative (COR) or Project Inspector

(PI).

• Initiate fire suppression actions in the work area to prevent fire spread to or on federally administered lands.

• Notify the appropriate dispatch center or 911 immediately of the location and status of any unplanned ignition.

• Notify the COR and Contracting Officer immediately of the incident.

5. GOVERNMENT INSPECTIONS:

5.1 The Government will make periodic inspections as a basis for payments and recommendations for adjustments in work quality while work is in progress.

5.2 If deemed necessary by the COR or requested by the contractor, random 1 acre plots will be inventoried to determine the number of missed trees >10” tall and number of masticated trees with limbs still attached to the stem, as well as compliance with the specifications listed in section 4.3. Sufficient plots will be done to obtain at least a one percent (1%) sample of the treated area.

5.3 Each inspection plot will be evaluated for compliance with the above mentioned requirements. Plots meeting all contract specifications will receive 10 points. Plots found to have one contract violation will receive 5 points. Plots found to have two or more contract violations will receive no points. Any plot having a cut or damaged conifer leave tree will receive no points.

5.4 - Work Quality Percentage 5.4.a - The work quality percentage is derived from data developed from inspection plots in the following manner: Divide the total number of points earned by the total number of points possible multiplied by 100 equals the work quality percentage.

EXAMPLE:

Number of plots inspected - 5 Total points possible (10 x 5) - 50 Total points earned - 45 WQP - (45/50) x 100 = 90%

6. ACCEPTANCE

6.1 Work will be accepted or rejected on a unit basis.

6.2 Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) - A minimum AQL of 85 percent Work Quality Level is required.

6.3 Unsatisfactory Work Quality.

Based on inspection results, if a unit falls below the AQL of 85 percent, the Contractor will be given the opportunity to improve the quality of the work. If the quality of the work is not raised to the AQL of 85 percent, the CO may issue a suspend work order to resolve the problem, during which time contract performance time will continue to run.

6.4 REINSPECTION

After the contractor has re-worked areas failing to meet AQL, re-inspection will be performed. If the unit again fails to meet the AQL of 85 percent, the CO has the option of accepting the unit at the work quality percent calculated from inspection plots or of ordering the Contractor to rework the unit again. If the CO elects to accept the unit at the work quality percent calculated after rework, the Contractor will be paid based on the results of the re-inspection.

DIAR 1452.215-71 USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PROPOSAL INFORMATION -- DEPARTMENT OF

THE INTERIOR (APR 1984)

(a) Definitions. For the purposes of this provision and the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), the following terms shall have the meaning set forth below:

(1) "Trade Secret" means an unpatented, secret, commercially valuable plan, appliance, formula, or process, which is used for making, preparing, compounding, treating or processing articles or materials which are trade commodities.

(2) "Confidential commercial or financial information" means any business information (other than trade secrets) which is exempt from the mandatory disclosure requirement of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552. Exemptions from mandatory disclosure which may be applicable to business information contained in proposals include exemption (4), which covers "commercial and financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential," and exemption (9), which covers "geological and geophysical information, including maps, concerning wells."

(b) If the offeror, or its subcontractor(s), believes that the proposal contains trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, (5 U.S.C. 552), the cover page of each copy of the proposal shall be marked with the following legend:

"The information specifically identified on pages of this proposal constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the offeror believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The offeror requests that this information not be disclosed to the public, except as may be required by law. The offeror also requests that this information not be used in whole or part by the government for any purpose other than to evaluate the proposal, except that if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with the submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information to the extent provided in the contract."

(c) The offeror shall also specifically identify trade secret information and confidential commercial and financial information on the pages of the proposal on which it appears and shall mark each such page with the following legend:

"This page contains trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the offeror believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act and which is subject to the legend contained on the cover page of this proposal."

(d) Information in a proposal identified by an offeror as trade secret information or confidential commercial and financial information shall be used by the Government only for the purpose of evaluating the proposal, except that (i) if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information as provided in the contract, and (ii) if the same information is obtained from another source without restriction it may be used without restriction.

(e) If a request under the Freedom of Information Act seeks access to information in a proposal identified as trade secret information or confidential commercial and financial information, full consideration will be given to the offeror's view that the information constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information. The offeror will also be promptly notified of the request and given an opportunity to provide additional evidence and argument in support of its position, unless administratively unfeasible to do

so. If it is determined that information claimed by the offeror to be trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, the offeror will be notified of this determination prior to disclosure of the information.

(f) The Government assumes no liability for the disclosure or use of information contained in a proposal if not marked in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this provision. If a request under the Freedom of Information Act is made for information in a proposal not marked in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this provision, the offeror concerned shall be promptly notified of the request and given an opportunity to provide its position to the Government. However, failure of an offeror to mark information contained in a proposal as trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information will be treated by the Government as evidence that the information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, absent a showing that the failure to mark was due to unusual or extenuating circumstances, such as a showing that the offeror had intended to mark, but that markings were omitted from the offeror's proposal due to clerical error.
