This clause implements Executive Order 13658, Establishing a Minimum Wage for Contractors, dated February 12, 2014, and OMB Policy Memorandum M-14-09, Implementation of the President’s Executive Order Establishing a Minimum Wage for Contractors, dated June 12, 2014.

(a) Each service employee, laborer, or mechanic employed in the United States (the 50 states and the District of Columbia) in the performance of this contract by the prime Contractor or any subcontractor, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the Contractor and service employee, laborer, or mechanic, shall be paid not less than the applicable minimum wage under Executive Order 13658. The minimum wage required to be paid to each service employee, laborer, or mechanic performing work on this contract between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2015, shall be $10.10 per hour.

(b) The Contractor shall adjust the minimum wage paid under this contract each time the Secretary of Labor’s annual determination of the applicable minimum wage under section 2(a)(ii) of Executive Order 13658 results in a higher minimum wage. Adjustments to the Executive Order minimum wage under section 2(a)(ii) of Executive Order 13658 will be effective for all service employees, laborers, or mechanics subject to the Executive Order beginning January 1 of the following year. The Secretary of Labor will publish annual determinations in the Federal Register no later than 90 days before such new wage is to take effect. The Secretary will also publish the applicable minimum wage on www.wdol.gov (or any successor website). The applicable published minimum wage is incorporated by reference into this contract.

DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

SCOPE OF CONTRACT

This contract requires tree thinning with associated slash treatment, and related work in compliance with its terms, specifications, and provisions. This includes furnishing labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, operating supplies, and incidentals.

LOCATION/DESCRIPTION

Contract units are located around Pyle and Anderson creeks, on the Emmett Ranger District, Boise National Forest. Units are located in T10N, R05E, Sections 31, 32 and T09N, R05E, Sections 6, 5, 7, 8, 18, 17 16, 20, 21 Boise Meridian (see map book).

Wildfires have burned a significant portion of the project area over the last 50 years, which created a need for reforestation. Through reforestation efforts, ponderosa pine was planted throughout the project area during the late 1960s and late 1980s. Seedlings were initially planted at 450 trees per acre in terraced patches. Plantations averaged 80 percent survival after 5 years, yielding roughly 360 trees per acre. Subsequent mortality, or in some cases thinning activities, reduced stand densities to a range of 100 to 300 trees per acre.

Most units are accessible by roads. See the 2015 Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) for latest restrictions. Reference the map books for a detailed display of the road system within the project area. The boundaries of the thinning units are distinguished with pink flagging.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

A. Obligations of the Contractor

The Contractor, upon written request of the Contracting Officer, shall remove any operator or other worker who, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, is unsafe or objectionable to the Government. The Contractor’s employees shall exhibit safe working practices when performing all work, especially when felling trees.

The Contractor shall be responsible for any damage to existing structural improvements such as, but not limited to, water developments, fences, power lines, monument corners and landlines, bearing trees, road surfaces and/or drainage structures as a result of contract activities. The Contractor shall restore any damage, immediately, back to its existing condition before the damage.

The Contractor, upon discovery of suspected archaeological or historical materials, shall cease work near such material and shall immediately notify the C.O.

Before work begins, the Contractor shall designate, in writing, the person, or persons who shall represent the Contractor during any absence from the project site. In the designation, the contractor shall describe the areas of responsibility assigned to the representative. Designated representative(s) shall be fully conversant in the English language, and the Contractor and representatives shall be able to fully communicate with all parties.

AG-0261-S-15-0107 PYLE- ANDERSON THINNING Page 16 of 57

Any refueling or mechanical work on chainsaws shall not be done within 150 feet of any live or intermittent stream.

B. Objective

Thinning provides the opportunity to obtain a more diverse spatial heterogeneity across the landscape. One objective of this treatment is to cut trees in such a way as to optimize the grouping of trees across thinning units. Leaving desired tree species in groups of 2-3 will more closely reflect historical reference conditions.

Another objective of this treatment is to increase the overall stand health by providing uncut (leave) trees with increased access to water, sunlight, and nutrients. This increases resistance to insects, disease, and catastrophic wildfire.

Thinning also increases the overall quality of a stand by removing trees with less vigor that are competing for water, sunlight, and nutrients with more healthy, vigorous trees. Thinning results in accelerated diameter growth of the leave trees, which, over time, increases the proportion of the large tree size class and accelerates progress towards desired conditions.

Additionally, thinning results in an improvement in the overall phenotypic characteristics (i.e. -how the tree looks) of the stand. This is because the best trees, in terms of size, form, and vigor, are selected as leave trees. Poorly formed, slow-growing, suppressed, or damaged trees are removed.

This contract will be used to:

1) Diversify the spatial distribution of leave trees

2) Reduce tree density which will increase water and nutrient availability within tree rooting zones.

3) Remove undesirable species (see species preference below), as well as suppressed, damaged, and diseased trees.

4) Improve resilience to uncharacteristic disturbances, such as wildfire and bark beetle epidemics. Fuel abatement activities will also help to create conditions amicable for broadcast burning, such as reducing slash depths and felling away from residual trees.

C. Thinning Specifications

General Specifications Groups of 2-3 trees are the desired outcome from this thinning entry, and individual trees not in groups are acceptable. This shall be accomplished by thinning all tree species ≤15” diameter at breast height (DBH) to a 30x30 horizontal foot spacing, with an allowable variance of up to three trees in a group. A group is considered any tree within 15 feet of another tree. The intent is to leave approximately 70-90 trees per acre (TPA) in a groupy spatial pattern. All trees <12” in height do not need to be cut. Due to the importance of spacing, it is critical that the contractor know the fundamentals of pacing to accurately estimate distances between leave trees, or leave groups.

AG-0261-S-15-0107 PYLE- ANDERSON THINNING Page 17 of 57

Only three trees are allowed per group and each tree can only count towards one group. In other words, no tree can be designated for leave if it is within 30 feet of more than two trees, regardless of diameter. Spacing can be varied up to five (5) feet on the high end (for example, 30-35 feet) to select the most desirable leave tree.

Leave Tree Description Leave trees shall generally be those of the tallest height, largest crown (in dominant & co-dominant crown positions), and straightest stems without forking that are free of damage due to insects, disease, physical, or mechanical causes. The Contractor shall select leave trees in the following priorities:

(1) Species preference, (see below).

(2) Dominant or co-dominant crown canopy position.

(3) Greater than 50% live crown ratio.

(4) Straight bole, including a single, straight, live, undamaged terminal leader.

(5) Free of insects, disease, and/or mechanical damage (see below).

(6) Good vigor, as evidenced by dark green coloration and good leader and internodal growth.

(7) Small branch diameter.

(8) Horizontal branch orientation.

The application of spacing and attribute criteria shall be combined during leave tree selection so that the post-treatment stand contains the best trees, spaced in the previously mentioned heterogynous groupy spatial distribution.

Preferred tree species

1) Western larch 2) ponderosa pine 3) Douglas-fir 3) lodgepole pine 4) Engelmann spruce 5) sub-alpine fir 6) grand fir.

Legacy Trees No legacy trees shall be cut as a part of this contract. Legacy trees are typically larger trees, >20” dbh, but they can be smaller. Legacy trees can be distinguished by bark and branch characteristics, as these trees are typically >150 years in age. A detailed description of legacy tree identification can be found in the Boise National Forest legacy tree guide version 1.4.

Felling Cut trees shall be felled away from the following: unit boundaries, roads, telephone lines, established trails, ATV/motorcycle trails, stock driveways, gates, established fire-breaks, fence lines, established land corners, designated leave trees, drainage ditches, culverts, and perennial and intermittent streams. Any trees falling on such areas shall be removed. Cut trees shall not be crisscrossed or jackstrawed when felled.

Stump Height Trees shall be completely severed from the stump on a horizontal plane. Stump height shall not exceed 6 inches above ground level or 4 inches above natural obstacles.

Removal of Live Limbs All trees not reserved from cutting shall be cut below the lowest live limb, except when prevented by natural obstacles. When natural obstacles are found, all live limbs over 4 inches in length below the cutting point shall be removed.

AG-0261-S-15-0107 PYLE- ANDERSON THINNING Page 18 of 57

D. Slash Treatment

1. Slash depth shall not exceed 36 inches from the ground line to the highest limb. This may require bucking tree lengths, lopping limbs on three sides, and/or scattering slash to attain a 36-inch slash depth.

All slash shall be placed on or near the ground surface, so that it shall not lean against or be suspended by an uncut tree, stump, log, or any obstacle.

2. All slash created by operations performed under this contract which fall outside the unit boundaries shall be pulled back into the unit(s), unless otherwise authorized by the COR.

Cut trees shall be directionally felled away from leave trees and groups. Felling into the surrounding open area will eliminate the accumulation of slash among the remaining trees.

3. All slash created by operations performed under this contract shall be pulled back at least 5 feet from roads displayed on the attached contract map.

4. All slash created by operations performed under this contract shall be removed at least 15 feet above all culvert intakes.

E. Equipment Authorizations

Use of motorized equipment other than hand-held equipment such as power saws and brush cutters shall not be permitted off designated roads in the project area without prior approval of the Contracting Officer.

Work will not be permitted when, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer (CO), excessive soil disturbance would result from equipment usage or road/trail damage would occur from vehicles gaining access to the project area.

The contractor shall not alter drainage or closure structures on spur roads and skid trails in the project area(s) without the prior written approval of the CO. All alterations shall be repaired or replaced before the next winter/rainy season or completion of the contract, whichever occurs first.

F. Insects and Disease

Bark Beetle Mitigations Ips bark beetles are a continuing problem on most or all of the thinning units within this contract area. If trees are thinned between the period of September 15 and July 1, the Contractor may also be required to provide a continuous food chain of green trees for the Ips beetle during the period of July 1 to September 15, as a part of the thinning operation and/or be required to leave 10% of the unit(s) unthinned to provide a source of green trees for future Ips food. Such green material shall be provided from periodic cutting or thinning within the unit(s); or where such material is inadequate or not available, green material may be provided by thinning of non-included trees adjacent to the unit boundary upon approval of the Contracting Officer. Thinning outside the unit boundaries shall not exceed 10 percent of the unit's acres.

AG-0261-S-15-0107 PYLE- ANDERSON THINNING Page 19 of 57

Dwarf mistletoe Infections exist in the area, but are not abundant. Thinning should take into account highly infected trees. If dwarf mistletoe occurs in the bole of the tree, it should be discriminated against. If the dwarf mistletoe exists in the limbs only, the tree can be considered a leave tree. If no disease-free, undamaged tree exists at the required spacing interval, leave trees with bole infections may be retained.

A. Inspections

1. The Contracting Officer, or delegated authorities, shall make periodic inspections. The Contractor or his representative is encouraged to observe the inspection and will receive inspection summaries upon request.

2. Each unit as designated on the contract maps will be inspected as a separate unit and will not be averaged with any other area for acceptance or payment.

B. Inspection Plot Size and Sample Each unit as designated on the contract maps will be inspected as a separate unit and will not be averaged with any other area for acceptance or payment. The inspections will be made of 1/25th acre plots in a stratified random sample, generated in ArcGIS, covering each thinning unit.

Sufficient plots will be taken to total at least 0.5 percent of the unit being inspected. This will constitute the minimum number of plots. Plot centers will be marked and numbered on the ground.

The corresponding number will be entered on the inspection report form used to record data for the plot.

C. Inspection Quality Evaluation

AG-0261-S-15-0107 PYLE- ANDERSON THINNING Page 22 of 57

Each plot shall be examined to record findings on Form 2400-4 (Thinning Inspection Plot Form) for the items listed below:

1. ACCEPTABLE TREE AND TREES ABOVE MAXIMUM DBH (Columns 3 and 4) Includes acceptable leave trees and trees above the maximum DBH designated for leave.

The total of Columns 3 and 4 must not exceed the maximum acceptable trees per plot (S1 and S2).

2. CREDIT FOR NONSTOCKED SPOTS (Column 4) Includes the number of spots nonstocked on individual plots that are not stocked due to insufficient original stocking or a missing tree cut because of insects and disease (S3 and S4).

3. SURPLUS TREES AND TREES SPECIES IGNORED (Column 5) Includes surplus of acceptable trees above the maximum allowable trees per plot (S2 and

4. CATEGORY "A" TREES (Columns 6 and 7) Includes leave trees cut and leave trees left not meeting contract specifications (A1-A5).

5. CATEGORY "B" TREES (Column 8) Includes excess trees that should have been cut and stumps with live limbs (B and B1).

6. CATEGORY "C" TREES (Column 9) Includes trees not completely severed from stump, hang-up trees, high stumps, trees left with excess damage and disease, trees not girdled, and trees improperly girdled (C1-C7).

D. Thinning Quality Calculation

Upon inspection of all plots for a unit, the quality of thinning shall be calculated as follows:

1.00 - ((Col. 6 + Col. 7 + Col. 8)/ (Col. 3 + Col. 4)) X 100 = Percent Quality

E. Category "B" Trees

When inspection results are below 90 percent and CATEGORY "B" TREES constitute any part of the deficiency, payment shall not be made until excess tree deficiency has been corrected.

Inspections after rework will be made in the same manner as the first inspection but on different plot lines. The Contractor shall pay for inspections necessitated by the rework.

AG-0261-S-15-0107 PYLE- ANDERSON THINNING Page 23 of 57

F. Category "C" Trees

The total number of CATEGORY "C" TREES shall not exceed 5 trees per acre, exception for disease (C5 - C7) where all trees shall be cut or girdled. Payment will not be made until the deficiency has been corrected and thinning quality is above the minimums. The Category "C" Trees are not included in the thinning quality calculation because these deficiencies are critical to the primary stocking and disease sanitation objectives for the thinning project.

G. Rework and Reinspection

If the original inspection results are unacceptable to the Contractor and a second inspection is requested without rework, the same inspection procedure shall be used. However, new plot locations will be generated in ArcGIS. If the second inspection shows less than 5 percent variance from the first inspection, the Contractor shall pay the cost of the second inspection, and the result of the first inspection shall be used in determining payment. Requests for reinspection must be made in writing.

H. Acceptance of Slash Treatment

Acceptance for slash treatment shall be determined by an inspection of the treatment areas and shall be based on adherence to the specifications for thinning slash treatment. Nonconformance with any of the specifications shall classify the treatment as unsatisfactory and rework is required to bring the treatment up to specification standards.
