* All Mobilization, Site Specific costs, and work items will be determined at the time of each

BPA Call, as a separate call line item. This item shall address cost factors based upon location and type of services to be performed. The specific work items and quantities as shown are for bid and evaluation purposes only. The scope of work is not limited to the payment items identified herein. Other payment items within the overall scope of road maintenance may be added by contract modification if an agreeable price and performance time can be established.

**Each BPA call shall be competed amongst all BPA holders. Pricing shall be based upon unit prices in the BPA, plus additional location and specific work type cost factors to be addressed under the separate mobilization item for each call noted above.

The Agreement period is for five years from the date of award. An annual review will be conducted and at that time, Contractors will be offered an opportunity to adjust their prices. If a revised rate is not submitted during the period set forth by the Contracting Officer, the prices proposed in the original agreement will remain in effect.

The intent of this solicitation is to obtain the Road Maintenance services as described in the

Statement of Work beginning on Page 9.

This solicitation will result in the award of multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA). The dollar limitation for individual calls against the BPA will not exceed the Simplified Acquisition

Threshold (currently $150,000.00). Since the needs of the Government and availability of

Contractor's resources during an emergency cannot be determined in advance, it is mutually agreed that, upon request of the Government, the Contractor shall furnish the resources listed herein to the extent the Contractor is willing and able at the time of BPA call. Due to the sporadic occurrence of activity, the placement of any calls IS NOT GUARANTEED.

BASIS OF AWARD

The Government intends to award multiple agreements; however, awards will only be made to those quoters offering a reasonable price and resources that are technically acceptable.

Proposed pricing for ALL line items will be evaluated for reasonableness. Reasonable price and technical acceptability will be the basis for the best value determination. Quoters must bid on at least one of items in the schedule of items in order to be considered for the BPA, Quoters do not need to bid on all of the items in order to be considered.

STATEMENT OF WORK:

Furnish Road Maintenance services and related supplies in accordance with the requirements, specifications, terms, conditions specified herein.

LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION: Services to be performed in the Mt. Hood National

Forest and Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. After Award of the Parent

Blanket Purchase Agreement each individual call will indicate the area of which work will be performed.

DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES:

This description includes a list of the types and scope of work that the equipment that may be required to perform in any of the areas designated within this contract. The list is representative but not inclusive of all work that may be required by task order. Orders will most often be issued on a measureable unit quantity basis or as identified within the

Attachments of 800 maintenance based performance standards and as found in the “Standard

Specifications for Construction of Roads and Bridges on Federal Highway Projects (FP03)” or subsequent approved replacement standards. All definitions and abbreviations not found in

Attachment 800 “Definitions and Abbreviations” can be located in the above mentioned

“Standard Specifications for Construction of Roads and Bridges on Federal Highway Projects

(FP03)” or subsequent approved replacement standards.

http://www.wfl.fha.dot.gov/design/specs/fp03.htm.

This is NOT a Time and Materials Task Order contract but rather a Blanket Purchase

Agreement (BPA). The hourly pricing requested will be utilized for price evaluation purposes in selecting a “Best Value” contractor. However, the Government shall terminate any successful contractor’s contract should their BPA Call’s lump sum pricing not be a reflective derivation of the pricing they propose herein. The intent of the Blanket Purchase Agreement is to provide for yearly road maintenance of forest roads on the Mt. Hood National Forest and

Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. This work includes furnishing labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, operating supplies, and all incidentals necessary to provide maintenance in accordance with drawings and specifications. In addition, the contractor may be required to respond to emergency storm events which may consist of removing trees, debris, slides and slough from drainage structures and/or traveled way to provide access to the forest.

Other payment items within the overall scope of road maintenance may be added by contract modification if an agreeable price and performance time can be established. In the event requirements for work develop that are not pre-priced, the Government will provide a complete description of the specifications and payment items and request a unit price. If mutual agreement is reached on the pricing of additional payment items, they may be added to the contract at any time. If mutual agreement is not reached on proposed additional payment items, the Government reserves the right to contract for such work with others.

DESIGNATION OF CONTRACTING OFFICER’S REPRESENTATIVE

The Contracting Officer designates the Contracting Officer's Representative(s) (COR). The

COR is responsible for administering the performance of work under this contract. In no event, however, will any understanding, agreement, modification, change order, or other matter deviating from the terms of this contract be effective or binding upon the Government unless formalized by proper contractual documents executed by the Contracting Officer prior to completion of the contract.

The Contracting Officer should be informed as soon as possible of any actions or inactions by the Contractor or the Government, which will change the required delivery or completion times stated in the contract, and the contract will be modified accordingly. (This does not apply to individual task assignments which were issued by the COR provided they do not affect the delivery schedule or performance period stated in the contract.)

On all matters that pertain to the contract terms, the Contractor must communicate with the

Contracting Officer. Whenever, in the opinion of the Contractor, the COR requests effort outside the scope of the contract, the Contractor should so advise the COR. If the COR persists and there still exists a disagreement as to proper contractual coverage, the Contracting Officer should be notified immediately, preferably in writing if time permits. Proceeding with work without proper contractual coverage could result in nonpayment or necessitate submittal of a contract claim.

GOVERNMENT-FURNISH PROPERTY

The Government will provide the following item(s) of Government property to the Contractor for use in the performance of this contract. This property shall be used and maintained by the

Contractor in accordance with provisions of FAR Clause 52.245-2 "Government Property
