H-3 SALVAGE RIGHTS

No Contractor salvage rights exist under the contract unless specifically provided elsewhere herein.

H-4 SPECIAL EQUIPMENT CLEANING REQUIREMENTS

All earth moving equipment (loaders, excavators, dump trucks, etc.) moved to the job site shall be cleaned of weeds and their seeds prior to each entrance onto the National Forest lands. Cleaning shall consist of the removal of all dirt, grease, debris, and materials that may harbor noxious weeds and their seeds. This may require the use of a pressure hose.

Equipment shall be made available for visual inspection by the Forest Service prior to entering Forest Service lands. The Contractor shall advise of a proposed date for mobilization. Inspections will take place at mutually agreeable en-route locations in advance of entry onto National Forest lands.

The Contractor shall take special care under this contract to prevent contamination of water at the work sites with any petroleum residues from mechanical equipment operations. This shall include daily inspection and cleaning as appropriate.

H-5 PHYSICAL DATA (FAR 52.236-4) (APR 1984)

Data and information furnished or referred to below is for the Contractor's information. The Government shall not be responsible for any interpretation of or conclusion drawn from the data or information by the Contractor.

(a) The indications of physical conditions on the Plans and in the specifications are the result of site investigations by surveys.

(b) Weather conditions: Snow may be expected between late December and early May. High creek flows occur around that same period of time. Sometimes IFPL IV occurs in this area in August and September.

(c) Transportation facilities: Road access to this area is typically closed due to snow from late December to early May. However many people hike or snowshoe into the Umpqua Hot Springs. All the Forest Service Road Bridges on the route are capable of carrying Highway Legal Loads (ODOT Weight Table 1). Expect higher traffic volume and congestion on weekends at the Umpqua Hot Springs Trailhead. Forest Service Road 3401 is susceptible to potholing.

H-6 LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION

(a) Prior to excavation, the Contractor shall remove the organic surface layer of soil, including decayed woody debris, grass, and small plants within the clearing limits, stockpile separately and redistribute these materials over the finished slopes and borrow sources on the project as directed by the Contracting Officer. Where practical, remove with a smooth-edged excavator bucket or other similar tool that is capable of separating the upper organic layer of soil from the lower soil. 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/COR 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”. A spill response kit is required at the project site location and at the helispot (when in use).

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.

Maintenance and refueling of the equipment shall take place a minimum of 75 feet away from the stream and within an impervious retention basin having 150% of the containers capacity. Small trail building equipment for use within the stream or channel shall have vegetable based hydraulic fluid.

(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. Monitor the turbidity of the stream and take immediate action to mitigate the turbidity.

(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 the trail, top of cuts, or toe of fills. The Contractor may improve the trail access to a maximum tread width of 40”, using standard trail maintenace practices. From the West trail access, a notch may be cut at the base of the dead trees to achieve 40” tread width as directed by the Contracting Officer.

(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/COR a schedule and plan for temporary pollution control measures for the following phases of work:

(i) Item 15101, Mobilization including Maintenance and Refueling Equipment, Trail Access Improvements, Removal of Existing Sills.

(ii) Item 20455, Embankment Construction

(iii) Item 20801, Structure Excavation

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
