Instructions and Work Description for Pay Items/Work Activities:

NOTE: Changes for Amendment 01 are in bold italics.

Please respond fully to the solicitation requirements (e.g. pricing, certifications and representations, and selection criteria). Provide commercial pricing only for the work activities in which your firm is qualified and interested in performing. The rates your firm proposes shall be commercial “shelf” rates that will be used for award evaluation purposes. Vendors are cautioned that as awards of a Blanket Purchase Agreement are based, in part, on the pricing proposed herein, subsequent vendor quotes for specific unit task orders must be representative and reflective of those rates or they shall be removed from the pool of vendors for that work activity. Therefore it is imperative that each vendor provide the Government with their best commercial rate for each activity they are capable of performing and that those rates be similar to the quotes on individual task orders submitted for specific units. STEWARDSHIP IDENTIFIED ACTIVITIES MUST ALL BE PRICED IN ORDER FOR A VENDOR TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AWARD.

Please note: the Forests have existing contracts for similar services that will be phased out in 2009. Awards made under this Solicitation will not prohibit the Forests from using their existing contracts.

The Offeror shall take into consideration the following representative unit descriptions when determining the pricing portion of their offer: Fuels treatment projects will occur on ground having an average stand density of 800 stems per acre before treatment. Following Chain-saw Tree Thinning and/or Mechanical Biomass Removal stands densities will average 110 stems per acre. The average stem diameters before treatment vary from 3 inches DBH to 20.9 inches DBH. The average stem diameter following treatment will average 16 inches DBH. The slope of ground on a project varies from 0% to 35%. The average project size is 500 aces. The average distance to an adjacent road with a landing is 1,000 feet. The Contractor will be restricted using existing roads, skid-trails and landing. There are on average 20 tons per acre of down woody fuels needing treatment across the project area.

Tree planting will be based upon the average planting of 160 to 200 trees per acre with an average spacing of 15 x 15 foot or 12 x 12 foot spacing to meet these desired results with scalping generally with a 2 x 2 foot area around the planted seedling (note: future activities associated with tree planting may include tubing, gopher baiting/ trapping, vegetation barrier mat placement, grubbing, herbicide application, big game repellant application, riparian/ upland species planting or some combination thereof).

The fuels and silvicultural treatment projects Hand Piling, Machine Piling, Small Tree Felling and Pile Burning or Broadcast Burning (20 person crew) will typically be a follow-up treatment to Chain-saw Tree Thinning or biomass utilization. (Note: Biomass utilization is in lieu of other slash treatments) Mastication may be a follow up treatment or an initial treatment where light and/ or heavy brush components and/or small trees up to 8 inches (or some combinations of all) shall be masticated. Sub-soiling will occur along high use major skids and landings and account for 10% of the unit acreage. The fuel treatment projects have a Limited Operating Period for wildlife between March 1 and August 31, during which no operations are allowed unless the project has been surveyed.

Prescribed Fire

The Crews in line items 8 and 9 must comply with the Personnel Equipment and Training requirements set forth in solicitation ODF 1223-07 (Assume that ignition fuel and torches are provided for under-burning and not provided by the Government for pile burning. Also assume no Burn Boss is required for under-burning but that a Type 3 Burn Boss is required for pile burning. Ensure hourly rate includes round trip travel and per diem for the Prineville and Bend area) The Type 6 Engine, Type 4 Engine, and Type 2 Tenders in line items 10 and 11 must comply with the Personnel Equipment and Training Standards in addition to the Equipment standards set forth in the R6 Water Handling Contracts resulting from solicitation AG-04H1-S-07-9001. See Sections D2 and D3 in the water handling contract in conjunction with applicable attachments. (Assume a 14 hour Day with travel and per diem included in the daily rate). The Dozers will be ordered to provide contingency support during prescribed fire operations. Additional activities may include road clearing, crushing, or additional duties in support of prescribed fire activities. Specific activities will be defined in the orders/calls.
