STAND OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTS:

Site/Characteristics, variability: Variable slopes – 0 to 35%. Flattest in SE quadrant below road but steep fill slope to road. Road #9640 runs through the middle of the unit. Shallow to medium depth rocky soils. No surface water.

Forest Characteristics:

Stand structure, variability: Two to three distinct stands. NE quadrant is nearly 100% single story LP, small to medium diameter, with AF regeneration and a fair amount of downfall. Mid section is mostly WL, ES and AF with LP and rare DF- multi storied; seed/sapling and small to medium size saw with scattered large WL remnants and less LP and downfall. Western most part to the south is similar to the mid-section but many more large WL and somewhat Distribution/variability of over-/understory: more open canopy. Best old growth (OG) characteristics above the Road – west ½. Plot #6 is park like OG.

Ages: Large WL are 200 to 400 years old. The rest of the stand is 80 to 140 years old for saw-timber and 40 to 80 for under merchantable.

Condition (growth, insect/diseases): Atropellis present, Pini present. Generally the canopy appears healthy and vigorous though growth is slow to moderate due to overstocking.

Habitat Type and Understory Vegetation: Mostly AF/Clun with AF/Libo/Vasc on plot #2.

Shrubs: ALSI, MEFE, RUPA, Ribes, Vacciniums, MARE11, COCA

Other veg: CLUN, ARCO, VICR, Pyrola, CARU, Carex, Vesca, Titr, ATFE, GYDR and Hellibore.

Down wood and snags: Patchy – open to messy. Generally not difficult to walk thru except where LP was Thickest.

Other comments: Hare habitat assessment: Fair where open with regen. at floor – closed canopy weaker greenery at or near snow level.

Wildlife use: Deer, Elk, Bear and Wood Pecker sign present.

Access considerations: Gated road #9640 was light brush in the road and abundant regen. have fallen into the road through old cutting units.

Other: Existing vegetation code (above) is LP because is was at least present everywhere but much of the stand could be considered 206- ES/AF.

Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan For

Stand Examination Activities

I. Introduction. The Government’s Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) provides the procedure and guidelines that will be used in evaluating technical performance of the Contractor for Common Stand Examination activities in a performance based statement of work. The Government’s QASP is not part of the contract, but is provided to the Contractor solely as information. A copy of this plan is furnished to the Contractor in the solicitation package and with the contract so the Contractor is aware of the methods that the Government will use in evaluating performance on this contract and address any concerns that the Contractor may have prior to initiating work. The QASP is subject to change by the Government during the contract performance period. The Government reserves the right to perform more or less than is outlined in the Plan.

Purpose of the QASP:

o Define the role and responsibilities of participating Government officials;

o Define the types of work to be performed with required end results;

o Describe the evaluation methods that will be employed by the Government in assessing the

Contractor’s performance;

o Provide copies of the performance assessment form that the Government will use in documenting and evaluating the Contractor’s performance; and o Describe the process of performance assessment documentation.

II. Roles and Responsibilities of Participating Government Officials.

A. Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR): The COR is designated by the Contracting Officer to administer the contract within the authority and limitations specified on form FS-R1-6320-27 provided to the Contractor at the pre-work and at anytime there is a change in COR and maintained in the contract file. Refer to FSH 6309.11.04.4, WO Amendment 6309.11- 91-1 for a full description of responsibilities.

The COR will monitor the Contractor’s work and may utilize Work Orders and Notice of Noncompliance as tools to communicate in writing with the Contractor. The COR will keep the Contracting Officer and Contractor informed of progress and contract compliance and any non-compliance issues. The Contracting Officer will work with the Contractor and COR to correct non-compliance issues. Suspension of work may be necessary to halt operations when compliance issues are at question and continuing work during discussions could cause irreversible damage.

The COR will maintain Daily Diaries for each day the site is visited, as the record of contract progress and compliance. These will include only facts concerning the contract, and will be complete and unbiased as they will be used by the Contracting Officer to make further decisions on contract issues.

Attachments, Page 18 of 28

The COR designates and supervises the work of the inspectors.

B. Inspectors: The Government inspector(s) are designated by the COR to represent him/her in securing compliance of contract requirements. The Designation of Inspector (R1-FS-6320-29) will be used to designate the inspector and identify the responsibilities. Refer to FSH 6309.11.04.4, WO Amendment 6309.11-91-1. The inspector(s) will monitor Contractor performance and inform the Contractor of contract deviations. The inspector(s) will monitor progress and conduct quality assurance plots. The inspector(s) will not direct the operations of the crew but rather keep in contact with the foreman, stressing the requirement of Contractor quality control as well as protect the Government’s interest by assessing the adequacy of stand exam data.

A lead inspector may be designated by the COR when more than one inspector will be onsite to act as the leader of the Government inspectors and avoid confusion in communications with the Contractor.

The inspector(s) will maintain Daily Diaries, issue notice of non-compliance to the Contractor when s/he fails to meet contract requirements, and keep the COR informed of all contract progress, and conformance problems. The inspector(s) will anticipate change orders and inform the COR.

C. District Ranger, Forest Supervisor, Silviculturist and other District, Forest and Regional employees: The Forest Supervisor is responsible for the administration of the National Forest, and the District Ranger acts as an authorized representative. These and other employees will act as resource advisors to the COR and Contracting Officer but do not have contract authority.

Their role is to provide advice on project implementation, which may be used for contract decisions.

III. Assessing the Contractor’s Performance

A. Schedule. The COR and inspector will monitor progress and if the Contractor is falling behind schedule, the COR may issue a work order to ensure the agreed to schedule is maintained.

B. Stand examination. The following plan will be used by the Government to assure the Contractor is providing the quality promised and work meets the performance standard.

Surveillance will consist of visual observations of the entire operation and sample plots to determine compliance with the specifications.

1. Work in Progress. The Government inspector may observe work in progress to judge the quality of exams and other required work. Any problems should be reported to the foreman to allow the problems to be corrected. The inspector and COR will not direct operation of the crew, however, as this is the responsibility of the Contractor. The Government expects the foreman to inspect work in progress and take corrective action prior to being notified by the Government inspector, consistent with the Contractor’s Quality Control Plan. Failure of the Contractor to inspect his work is cause for notice of non-compliance or other contract action.

Attachments, Page 19 of 28

2. Quality Assurance Plots. The Government inspector will inspect sufficient sample plots to assure the Government’s quality assurance plots represent stand exam quality (adequate to judge if the Contractor is within plus or minus .05 discrepancies per line of data of the Government’s and if the work is acceptable). This may be a small sample (e.g., 0.2%) up to 1%, although it generally should not exceed 0.5%, which is half of what the Contractor is required to do. The CO and COR should determine the sample size, which should be influenced by the real or anticipated problems associated with the thinning or the Contractor quality control.

3. The Government inspector or COR will monitor the Contractor’s quality inspection plots to assure the Contractor is providing inspection consistent with the Contractor’s accepted Quality Control Plan (QCP). If not included in the QCP, the Contractor and CO/COR will agree to how/when Contractor inspection sheets will be turned in to the COR.

The Government inspector may observe the Contractor’s plots in progress or check them after completion. The Contractor may be put on notice of non-compliance (or other contract action taken) for failure to conduct plot inspections as per his QCP. The Contractor’s inspector is not permitted to modify plot deficiencies nor influence the work quality by indicating to the examiners (or workers) of upcoming plot locations.

4. The Government inspector will conduct quality assurance plots in a timely manner after a Block completion. The COR will inform the Contractor if the quality is acceptable to the Government, after comparing the Government assurance plots with the Contractor’s after the entire unit is treated. When they are within plus or minus .05 discrepancies per line of data the Contractor will be informed that his/her quality assurance is acceptable for stand exam (or other work as applicable) quality and pay will be calculated based on the Contractor’s plot results, assuming Category C deficiencies are within acceptable levels.

When the Government’s inspector compares the Contractor’s inspection to the Government’s assurance plots prior to the unit being completed, it will only be considered an indication of the progress and not considered an acceptance of the Contractor’s work. The Government does not need to reveal the results of their plots, but will notify the Contractor if it appears that the Contractor’s inspection is greater than plus or minus .05 discrepancies per line of data from the Government’s. Based on FAR 52.246-4, Inspection of Services (attached as reference and included by reference in Section E), the Contractor should be notified as soon as it is apparent that there may be a problem so they can improve in their inspection process if it does not conform to the standards. In some cases with stand exams, the Government may not have quality assurance plots prior to unit completion.

If at unit completion, the Contractor’s results differ by greater than plus or minus .05 discrepancies per line of data from the Government’s QA plots, payment will be based on the Government’s plot results (G- 2). If the Contractor finds this objectionable, he may request a re-evaluation. The Government will then conduct a sample size requested by the Contractor up to 2% and if the results confirm the Contractor’s results (or within 5%), payment will be based on the Contractor’s results. However, if the results of the re-evaluation sample indicate the Government results are correct (i.e. greater than plus or minus .05 discrepancies per line of data difference), then payment is based on the Governments re-verification results and the Contractor

Attachments, Page 20 of 28 pays for the actual costs associated with the re-verification sample. (Refer to Section E- 2(d)(4))

5. When the Contractor’s work is below the performance standard of 85%, the COR may require the Contractor to rework the unit or portion of the unit where the deficiency occurred and it can be corrected. When Category C deficiencies exceed the maximum allowable, the Contractor shall rework the area to bring it into compliance. The Contractor shall re-inspect this work and the Government will conduct similar surveillance as the original work. When work cannot be corrected, or at agreement with the Contractor, the Government may accept work at the reduced price stated in Section G. The Contractor should submit his quality control inspections indicating that work is complete and acceptable prior to the Government conducting plots. The Contractor can be assessed the cost of the extra plot assessment.

C. Resource Protection. The COR and inspector should monitor the activities to assure resources are being protected. This should be monitored in conjunction with work in progress.

D. Work Schedule. The work schedule will be monitored as previously described. When the Contractor does not complete work within the accepted time schedule, the CO has several options that allow the Contractor to continue to work but s/he may be assessed the actual damages to the Government (i.e., wages, travel and per diem, etc.) for work completed outside the contract time.

E. Contractor’s Quality Inspection. When the Contractor’s inspection varies by greater than plus or minus .05 discrepancies per line of data from the Government’s, the Contractor may be required to re-work, essentially re-inspect, the unit, or the Government may do the work. Refer to FAR 52.246-4, Inspection of Services. The CO or COR will make this determination and make payment and assess costs accordingly. Note that if Government results are used for payment, the Contractor can be charged for the actual Government cost of conducting the re-inspection.

F. Worksite and Campsite. The inspector and COR will periodically assess the campsite and daily monitor the worksite to assess if it is clean, and meets the requirements set forth in the contract. The COR will require the Contractor to clean up the worksite or campsite or suspend operations if it is a safety hazard. Final payment will be withheld until the worksite is cleaned, including trash that may be left in the unit and the campsite meets the camping permit requirements.

G. Safe Working Conditions. Safety should be discussed at the pre-work meeting. Emergency numbers and similar information needs to be shared with Contractor. The COR should use common sense in dealing with safety concerns. For example, when there are extreme conditions such as, windy weather in areas with a potential for blowdown, the CO/COR shall use their contract authority to reduce the safety risks. Example of actions to take include moving the operations to a safer unit, posting lookouts, dropping portions of a unit, suspending operations with contract time. When the COR is not onsite, the Contractor will need to notify the COR or CO of such a condition.

Attachments, Page 21 of 28

If the Contractor brings safety hazard to the attention of the COR, the COR/CO and Contractor must find resolution. Examples of options for resolution include, suspension with contract time, moving to another area until the hazard (like in the case of wind) has ceased, altering specifications to avoid the hazard (an example may be modifying the contract to not work within a certain distance of snags), or falling the trees the Contractor identifies as hazards.

IV. Contractor Final Performance Assessment

A. Final Performance Assessment. The COR will document the Contractor’s performance under this contract/task order. The COR will document his/her understanding of the contract requirements, what was actually completed, and the impact or consequences of what was not completed, and any recommendation for rework.

The COR will summarize the Contractor’s performance in the following aspects:

Quality of data collection and related services Cost Control Timeliness of Performance Business Relations Customer Satisfaction: Was the Contractor committed to customer satisfaction?

Would you recommend the selection of this Contractor again (after contract expiration)? Why?

Utilize these ratings along with a short explanation.

o Unsatisfactory = nonconformance is jeopardizing the achievement of contract requirements despite the use of Agency’s resources.

o Poor = overall compliance requires MAJOR Aagency resources to ensure achievement of contract requirements.

o Fair = Overall compliance requires MINOR Agency resources to ensure achievement of contract requirements.

o Good = Overall compliances does not impact achievement of contract requirements.

o Excellent = There are no quality problems and Contractor goes beyond what is expected of contract to achieve services.

B. Analysis of Performance Assessment Results. The Contracting Officer will review each Performance Assessment prepared by the COR. When appropriate, the Contracting Officer may investigate the event further to determine if all the facts and circumstances surrounding them even are considered in the COR opinions outlined on the forms. The Contracting Officer will prepare the final Performance Assessment that will be entered into the Past Performance Database. Prior to entering information, the Contracting Officer will provide a copy of the final performance rating to the Contractor and allow time for the Contractor to provide rebuttal if desired.
