A backhoe was used to dig test pits; all five pits had acceptable soils and dry bottoms. Additional pits were dug to test the condition of the pipe at various locations. Pipe within the trailer park consisted of many different types (copper, galvanized, steel, etc.) and had many leaks. Pipe within the Cedar Flats home area also had considerable deterioration. Pipe from the Trailer park to the Cedar Flats homes was in good and sound condition. Pipe in the Main Ranger station site was very old.

(b) Weather conditions at Fenn Ranger station can be very wet. Normal spring weather begins in February and is rainy until the middle or end of June. From July to the end of August is usually dry with occasional thunderstorms or light sprinkles. September thru November can be rainy or moist. Snow does not typically occur until late November or December and lasts until February.

(c) Transportation facilities on all roads to the site are paved two-lane roads. The Selway Road, Forest Service Road 223, however is not plowed from snow in the winter.

H- 4 Key Personnel The key personnel specified in the Offeror’s Technical Proposal are considered to be essential to the work being performed hereunder. Prior to diverting any of the specified individuals to other programs, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer reasonably in advance and shall submit justification (including proposed substitutions) in sufficient detail to permit evaluation of the impact on the contract. No diversion shall be made by the Contractor without the written consent of the Contracting Officer: Provided that the Contracting Officer may ratify in writing such diversion and such ratification shall constitute the consent of the Contracting Officer required by this clause. The contract may be amended from time to time during the course of the contract to either add or delete personnel, as appropriate.

H-5 Work Camps, Staging and Storage Areas Areas for staging operations and storage of materials shall be approved by the CO. The Contractor must request in writing for approval from the CO to stage trailers on site. Overnight camping is commercially available near the project area. Overnight camping on site is prohibited. The contractor must provide toilets and sanitary facilities at each work location for its employees.

H- 6 Fire Control

(a) Contractor's Responsibility for Contractor-Caused Fires. The Contractor, whether or not directed by the Forest Service, shall immediately extinguish, without expense to the Government, all fires on or in the vicinity of the project which are caused by Contractor's employees, whether set directly or indirectly as a result of Contractor operations. The Contractor may be held liable for all damages and costs of additional labor, subsistence, equipment, supplies, and transportation resulting from fires set or caused by the Contractor's employees or resulting from contract operations.

(b) Other Fires. For the purpose of fighting forest fires on or in the vicinity of the project which are not caused by the Contractor or the Contractor’s employees, the Contractor when requested by the Contracting Officer shall place the employees and equipment temporarily at the disposal of the Forest Service. Payment for such services will be made by the Government at not less than the current rate for fire-fighting services established by the Forest Service in the area concerned.

Any employees and equipment furnished will be relieved from fire fighting as soon as the Forest Service finds that it is practicable to employ other labor and equipment adequate for the protection of the area.

An equitable adjustment in contract time may be made for this period.
