PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Federal Columbia River Power System FY 22 Site Condition Monitoring, Oregon Side of Bonneville and The Dalles Projects

Wasco and Sherman Counties, Oregon

GENERAL STATEMENT:

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) (Agencies) are jointly responsible for compliance with Sections 106 and 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) under the terms of the 2009 Systemwide Programmatic Agreement (SWPA) for management of historic properties affected by operations of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). The Corps, Portland District manages Bonneville, The Dalles, and John Day Projects, which are part of the FCRPS. The FCRPS Cultural Resource Program works closely with interested and affected tribes, State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs), and other agencies for cultural resource management in compliance with Sections 106 and 110 of the NHPA.

The Corps is the land manager for Bonneville and The Dalles Projects (Projects). The Corps gathers data to assess the condition of historic properties, including historic properties of religious and cultural significance to Indian tribes, located on project lands and other lands within the area of potential effects (APE) for Project operations.

The objective of this contract is to gather information that can assist in the development of long-term cultural resource management decisions. The following actions provide background and context in which the Corps makes decisions:

Observing, documenting, and reporting on the physical dynamics of the erosional or depositional processes at monitored sites.

Recording site conditions to provide information from which future changes such as sediment loss, topographic change, vegetation change, human and animal use impacts, soil disturbance, and vandalism can be quantitatively determined.

Monitoring for looting, vandalism, and burial desecration at designated sites and ensuring the notification of proper authorities.

Accurate documentation of the variation and diversity of potential impacts and causal factors at the site.

Providing tribal insight about the religious and cultural significance of sites.

Providing recommendations for treatment of monitored sites including recommendations regarding future monitoring frequency.

The Corps and BPA requires monitoring of the south shore of the Bonneville pool and The Dalles pool.

The following attachments are included at the end of this Performance Work Statement:

1. Baseline/Repeat Monitoring Form

Surveillance. 100% inspections by the COR will serve as the surveillance methods. If the COR discovers deficiencies and/or receives complaints, the COR will alert them to the contractor for correction.

Quality Control. The Contractor, not the government, is responsible for quality control actions necessary to meet the quality standards set forth by the contract. The contractor shall develop and submit a Quality Control Plan (QCP) for Government approval within ten (10) calendar days after award. Once accepted, the QCP will be incorporated into the QASP. The QASP is not a contractual instrument and may be changed at the COR’s discretion. The contractor shall use the QASP to guide and document the implementation of the required management and quality control actions to achieve the specified results. The Government reserves the right under the Contract Terms and Conditions-- Commercial Items (FAR 52.212-4) to inspect and test the services called for by the Task Order, to the extent practicable at all times and places during the term of the Task Order. The Government will reject non-conforming services.

Unacceptable Performance. When performance is determined unacceptable, as defined in the Performance Requirements Summary, the COR will inform the contractor that performance is unacceptable and provide written documentation by use of the Form DD 2772, Contract Discrepancy Report. By initialing and dating the form, the contractor is only acknowledging notification of unacceptable performance. Disputes in surveillance should be referred to the Contracting Officer.

The COR will notify the Contracting Officer of unacceptable performance. If any of the services do not conform to contract requirements, the Government may require the contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in contract amount. When the defect(s) in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may:

a. Require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure future performance conforms to contract requirements.

b. Reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed.

c. If the Contractor fails to promptly re-perform the services, or to take the necessary action to ensure future performance in conformity with contract requirements, the Government may:

i. By contract or otherwise, perform the services and charge to the Contractor any cost incurred by the Government that is directly related to the performance of such service;

ii. Issue Cure Notice;

iii. Terminate the contract for Government convenience; and / or

iv. Terminate the contract for Cause.

Correction of Non-Performance of Work.
