H-7 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-8 VALUE ENGINEERING

Value engineering change proposals which change the service or function of a facility or produce irreconcilable conflicts with management objectives will not be considered.

The following work is excluded from consideration under the Value Engineering clause: None

H-9 PRODUCT SUBSTITUTION

Any modification of items, designs, materials, products or equipment (including Government-Furnished property), made necessary because of a substitution, will be the responsibility of the Contractor without adjustment in contract price or time. The Contracting Officer's approval of any substitute will not affect the Contractor's responsibility for such modification. Any and all substitutions will be requested by the Contractor after award of the contract has been made. No approvals will be made prior to award.

H-10 ROAD USE AND MAINTENANCE

Use of Roads

(a) The Contractor is authorized to use roads that are listed as access to this project.

If the Contractor requests use of a National Forest road or segment not designated for use, the Forest Service may authorize such use if not in conflict with the current Road Rules Document. Authorization to use such additional roads may include maintenance requirements and use limitations.

The roads authorized for use are subject to the following provisions:

1. The Road Rules in the current Siuslaw, Willamette, Mt. Hood, Deschutes and Umpqua National Forest Road Rules Document are applicable to all commercial road users. These documents titles SIUSLAW NATIONAL FOREST ROAD RULES, COMMERCIAL HAULING ROAD RULES MAP (Willamette National Forest), MT. HOOD NATIONAL FOREST ROAD RULES POLICY, DESCHUTES NATIONAL FOREST COMMERCIAL ROAD RULES, and COMMERCIAL ROAD RULES (Umpqua National Forest) are available for inspection at the Willamette and Siuslaw National Forest Supervisor's Offices.

2. State laws governing traffic rules and equipment requirements on State and County highways.

3. Federal Regulations contained in 36 CFR 261.12. These regulations prohibit use of vehicles or equipment in excess of State legal highway loads or posted limits without valid State or Forest Service overload permits, damaging a road while using it, and blocking a road open to use by others, except as may otherwise be provided in the contract.

4. Federal Regulations contained in 36 CFR 261.54 as applied to the area by an order issued under 36 CFR

261.50. These regulations authorized the Forest Service as a sovereign act, to issue additional restrictions and closures any time conditions warrant. Such closures will be in addition to those shown in the current Road Rules Document and will be posted on the road.

5. Unless otherwise provided, the Government will not snowplow roads for the Contractor's use. The Contractor may snowplow any road designated for its use, unless snowplowing of the road is prohibited below or in the Road Rules Document. On roads where snowplowing is authorized, a permit defining snowplowing requirements is required. The Contractor will be responsible for repair of any damage to the road structure caused by the snow removal operations. Vehicles, other than conventional over-the-snow vehicles (snowmobiles), will not be permitted to use roads when there is an average uncompacted depth of more than 4 inches of snow unless the road has been snowplowed.

Traffic Control

The Contractor shall provide, erect, and maintain all necessary barricades, suitable and sufficient lights, danger signals, signs, and other traffic control devices, and shall take all necessary precautions for the protection of the work and safety of the public. Suitable warning signs shall be provided to properly control and direct traffic.

The Contractor shall erect warning signs in advance to any place on the project where operations may interfere with the use of the road or trail by traffic and at all intermediate points, where the project crosses or coincides with an existing road or trail.

H-11 TANK TRUCK

In addition to the requirements under Fire Precautionary Measure 1 – Tank Truck (Section J), a tank truck is required during all contract operations.

(2) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and has marked the record “Active”.

The offeror will be required to provide consent for TIN validation to the Government as a part of the CCR registration process.

(b) (1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the CCR database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

(2) The offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation “DUNS” or “DUNS+4” followed by the DUNS or DUNS+4 number that identifies the offeror’s name and address exactly as stated in the offer.
