(End of clause)

AG-0489-S-10-0447

H-12

LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION

(a) The Contractor shall not remove, deface, injure, or destroy trees, shrubs, lawn, or natural features not designated for treatment. The Contractor shall confine operations to within the clearing limits or other areas designated in the contract documents, and prevent the depositing of rocks, excavated materials, stumps, or other debris outside of these limits. Material which falls outside of these limits shall be retrieved, disposed of, or incorporated in the work as directed by the Contracting Officer.

(b) Prevention of Oil Spills. If the Contractor maintains storage facilities for oil or oil products on site, appropriate preventive measures shall be taken to insure that any spill of such oil or oil products does not enter any stream or other waters of the United States or any of the individual states. If a spill of petroleum product should occur in water, the Contractor shall take immediate action to clean up or contain the spill, then immediately notify the Engineer and the Oregon Emergency Response System (OERS), telephone 1-800-452-0311 or 1-503-378-4124, and then immediately notify the Contracting Officer.

Contractor shall have a SPILL RESPONSE KIT on the project whenever equipment is operating. The spill kit shall be sufficient to absorb 34 gallons of oil, designed to float on the surface, while absorbing oil and repelling water. The KIT shall meet or exceed the physical properties of “New Pig Products Spill Kit #408”.

Oil absorbing mats are required under all stationary equipment, or equipment being serviced within the Forest Boundary to prevent leaking or spilled petroleum base products from contaminating soil and water resources. Such material will be furnished by Contactor and approved by Contracting Officer.

Servicing of all equipment shall be done only in the areas approved by the Contracting Officer. If the total oil or oil products storage exceeds 1320 gallons or if any single container exceeds a capacity of 660 gallons, the Contractor shall prepare a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan. Such plan shall meet applicable EPA requirements (40 CFR 112) including certification by a registered professional engineer.

Equipment shall be furnished on a fully operational basis, of modern design and in good operating condition with no fuel or oil leaks. Repairs and move-in/move-out are the Contractor’s responsibility.

All equipment shall be power washed and shall be clean prior to entering Forest Service Land.

(c) No objectionable material shall be allowed to enter any stream, river, lake, or other body of water. Material which falls in these areas shall be retrieved and disposed of, or incorporated in the work as directed by the Contracting Officer, and damage to vegetation or structures outside the project limits shall be repaired as directed by the Contracting Officer.

(d) The Contractor shall not operate equipment or otherwise disturb the natural vegetation and soil beyond the areas flagged on the ground or beyond two feet from edge of walkways, top of cuts, or toe of fills.

(e) The Contractor will make every reasonable attempt to preserve the scenic and natural environment along this construction project.

(f) Prior to the start of construction the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer for approval a schedule and plan for temporary pollution control measures for the following phases of work:

(i) Item 20105, Clearing & Grubbing

(ii) Item 20457, Roadway Excavation, including placement of material at disposal sites.

H-13

MOISTURE SENSITIVE SOILS

Contractors are cautioned that the roadway structure is designed so that the completed road will support highway legal loads during a limited use season. Construction equipment often subjects the uncompleted roadway structure to loadings it is not designed to support. This is especially critical during periods of excessive moisture and will require careful selection and scheduling to permit efficient operation. Any damage resulting from operations which renders the material unsuitable for use or results in potential siltation of streams will be corrected by the Contractor at its expense.

H-14

PROTECTION OF CULTURAL RESOURCES

Location of known historic or prehistoric sites, buildings, objects, and properties related to American history, architecture, archaeology and culture, such as settler or Indian artifacts, protected by American Antiquities Act of 1906 (16 U.S.C. 431-433), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470) and the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 (PL 96-95 and 36 CFR 261.9(e)) shall be identified on the ground by Forest Service. Forest Service may unilaterally modify or cancel this contract to protect an area, object of antiquity, artifact, or similar object which is or may be entitled to protection under these Acts regardless of when the area, object or artifact is discovered or identified. Discovery of such areas or objects by either party shall be promptly reported to the other party.

Contractor shall protect all known and identified historic or prehistoric sites, buildings, objects and properties related to American history, architecture, archaeology and culture against destruction, obliteration, removal or damage during Contractor's Operations. In accordance with 36 CFR 296.14(c), Contractor shall bear costs of restoration, provided that such payment shall not relieve Contractor from civil or criminal remedies otherwise provided by law.

Wheeled or track-laying equipment shall not be operated within such areas except on roads. Unless agreed otherwise, trees will not be felled into such areas.

H-15 PROTECTION OF HABITAT OF ENDANGERED, THREATENED, AND SENSITIVE

SPECIES

Location of areas needing special measures for protection of plants or animals listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of l973, as amended, or as sensitive by the Regional Forester under authority of FSM 2670, are shown on the Drawings and identified on the ground.

AG-0489-S-10-0447

Willamette National Forest

Measures needed to protect such areas have been included elsewhere in this contract or are as follows:

See Prosecution of Work.

If protection measures prove inadequate, if other such areas are discovered, or if new species are listed as Federally threatened or endangered or as sensitive by the Regional Forester, Forest Service may either cancel or unilaterally modify this contract to provide additional protection regardless of when such facts become known. Discovery of such areas by either party shall be promptly reported to the other party.

(2) As a result of the Contracting Officer determining that errors exist in the original design that cause a pay item quantity to change by 15 percent or more.

(3) As a result of the Contractor submitting to the Contracting Officer a written request showing evidence of errors in the original design that cause a pay item quantity to change by 15 percent or more. The evidence must be verifiable and consist of calculations, drawings, or other data that show how the designed quantity is believed to be in error.

(b) Staked Quantities (SQ). These quantities are determined from staked measurements prior to construction.

(c) Actual Quantities (AQ). These quantities are determined from measurement of completed work.

(d) Vehicle Quantities (VQ). These quantities are measured or weighed in hauling vehicles.

(e) Lump Sum Quantities (LSQ). These quantities denote one complete unit of work as required by or described in the contract including necessary materials, equipment, and labor to complete the job.
