SECTION C – STATEMENT OF WORK

1. BACKGROUND

Western Federal Lands Highway Division (WFLHD), a division of the US Department of Transportation – Federal Highway Administration, designs and administers, primarily, road construction projects on Federal Lands in the states of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. The type of construction is generally 2-lane roads or highways either accessing Federal lands or within Federal lands.

2. OBJECTIVE

The objective of this requirement is to support WFLHD operations by complying with Executive Order 11990 Protection of Wetlands and obtaining the required wetland mitigation credits in support of US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permit number POA-2018-00440.

3. DESCRIPTION

The Contractor shall provide Wetland Mitigation Bank Credits required to cover a primary impact of 4.25 acres wetlands, 0.99 acres Neck Lake and 0.05 acres of streams for the Neck Lake Road Reconstruction Project.

4. CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES

4.1. Upon receipt of order, the Contractor shall promptly (no more than three (3) business days) submit a proper invoice in accordance with Local Clause FHWA-0001 (see page 22). Additionally, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Government Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) of invoice submission date and provide a copy of the submission documentation.

4.2. No more than one (1) business day after receipt of payment from the Government, the Contractor will provide a certified copy of the Contractor’s letter to the USACE in which the transaction will be recorded. This letter relieves the Government of any responsibility or liability for the success and maintenance of wetland credits, which fully satisfies the Government’s mitigation obligation for the project in perpetuity in accordance with 33 CFR Part 332.

4.3. The Contractor, their heirs, successors and/or assigns shall assume all liability and responsibility for the establishment, performance, operation and long-term maintenance of the mitigation credits as specified by the Valencia Banking Instrument, satisfying the mitigation provision of the Corps Authorization Letter Special Conditions.

5. GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITIES

The Government will provide to the Contractor with the agreed-upon sum as payment for the purchase of 3.38 palustrine streambed credits and 18.81 palustrine credits. The required number

AMENDMENT 0001

of credits was determined based on the Modified HGM method. However, vendors are free to also utilize the WESPAK-SE functional assessment method to determine the required number of credits.

Deviation from the Modified HGM method of calculation must be so cited in the quotation submitted. Payment will be made by Electronic Funds Transfer in accordance with the Prompt Payment Act (31 U.S.C. Chapter 39) only after receipt of a proper invoice.

6. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

All supplies and/or work hereunder shall be subject to review by the Government. The TPOC is responsible for the inspection and acceptance of all incoming shipments, documents, and services.

Acceptance of the final deliverables shall be made in writing by the TPOC.

7. AUTHORITY TO OBLIGATE THE GOVERNMENT

The Contracting Officer is the only individual who can legally commit or obligate the Government to the expenditure of public funds. No cost chargeable to the proposed task order can be incurred before receipt of a fully executed task order or specific authorization from the Contracting Officer.

8. PAYMENT FOR UNAUTHORIZED WORK

No payments will be made for any unauthorized supplies and/or services or for any unauthorized changes to the work specified herein. This includes any services performed by the Contractor of their own volition or at the request of an individual other than a duly appointed Contracting Officer. Only a duly appointed Contracting Officer is authorized to change the specifications, terms, and conditions under this effort.

9. CLOSEOUT OF CONTRACT FILES

The Government will initiate the administrative closeout of the Delivery Order after receiving evidence that all technical requirements have been completed. The Contractor shall furnish all required documents in support of the closeout of this contract.

The Government anticipates the timeframe to complete the administrative close out of this contract will not exceed 30 days. The costs incurred in the administrative closeout of task orders and contract files are unallowable direct costs under the contract and, therefore, cannot be charged as direct costs to the Government. Contractors are to handle such costs in accordance with their disclosure statements/cost accounting systems.
