C.

Handling: The Contractor shall load and unload products in such a manner as to protect them from damage until installation on the project.

1.7 PROJECT/SITE CONDITIONS:

A.

Access Roads: Access roads are shown on the Work Location Map. Vehicle travel is permitted along the fence line. Maps of these areas will be provided. The topography along the fence line may limit or prevent travel.

B.

Rocky ground: The project site includes some rock formations which prevent posts from being driven. A rock drill may be required at these work sites to assure proper installation of posts.

C.

Environmental Considerations:

1. No blading or scraping of the ground along the fence line or on any Bureau of Land Management administered land is permitted. Access roads shall not be constructed along fence lines or to the job sites, but travel along the fence line is permitted.

2. Rocky conditions exist along portions of the fence. It is highly recommended that interested contractors attend the site visit or inspect the site before offering a quote.

3.

No cross-country travel with motorized vehicles shall take place when ground is muddy causing ruts to form. The Contractor shall repair all ruts and scarred ground created by construction, repair, or removal as directed by the Contracting Officer.

4.

Camping is prohibited within 100 yards of any isolated water source springs, seeps, water troughs, windmills, small reservoirs, etc. Toilet facility requirements shall follow all Federal and State regulations. When a camp site is no longer needed, all garbage must be removed and properly disposed of.

5.

Clean-up: All trash and excess materials must be removed from the project site on completion of construction and disposed of in a manner, and at a location, approved by the Contracting Officer.

6.

Cultural Considerations: Because fragile and irreplaceable culture resources may be present in the area, project activities and any other action which causes disturbance of the earth's surface shall be limited to those areas approved by the BLM. Deviations from routes flagged or shown on the drawings are not allowable without prior approval of the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall insure that he, his employees, or his representatives do not collect archaeological artifacts. Should the condition of the cultural resources in the area be altered during construction due to unauthorized activity by the Contractor or his employees, the Contractor shall be responsible for all costs of mitigating the cultural resources involved. If deterioration of the archaeological sites is found to be occurring during the construction phase, work on the project shall be terminated until a data recovery plan is prepared and completed in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act.

01100-2

The Contractor shall immediately bring to the attention of the Contracting Officer any and all cultural resources including, but not limited to, historic and pre historic sites or artifacts, buried artifacts, and buried features such as fire pits, burials, and house floors discovered as a result of construction operations. The Contractor shall immediately suspend all activities that might harm the object(s) and shall leave such discoveries intact until 1nstructed to proceed by the Contracting Officer.

Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.4(g) the Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer by telephone, with written confirmation, immediately upon the discovery of human remains, funerary items, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony. Further, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.4(c) and (d), the Contractor must stop activities in the immediate vicinity of the discovery and protect it from construction activities for 30 days or until notified to proceed by the Contracting Officer.
