SECTION C--DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 Background and Purpose

The intent of this procurement action is to enter into multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) under which road decommissioning, storm proofing or road closing activities may be competed and BPA Calls for project work issued. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 37.3 (Dismantling, Demolition, or Removal of Improvements), this work is solely for dismantling, demolition, or removal of improvements in which the Service Contract Labor Standards statute applies as no further work (via the individual BPA Call or via a separate contract) will result in the construction, alteration, or repair of a public building or public work at that location. Work may consist of water barring and installing rolling dips, culvert removal, hauling of excavated material, restoring of stream channels, road surface ripping, fill pullback, seeding and mulching, installing barricades and other work as requested.

While a pre-set limitation is not established regarding the number of BPAs that will be entered in to, the amount may be limited in any geographic area if it is determined that sufficient competition is taking place and the administrative burden of entering in to more agreements offsets the potential benefit.

As identified in Section B.3, the “Areas for Coverage” have been split into two Zones. Prospective offerors will indicate which Zone (1, 2 or both) they are interested in providing coverage. When projects come available in a Zone, BPA holders who have indicated interest in covering the applicable Zone will be requested to provide a quote.

C.2 Mandatory Terms and Conditions for Blanket Purchase Agreement

A. Description of Agreement: The work covered by this Blanket Purchase Agreement is described below in Section C.3. If issued a BPA Call, the contractor shall provide the services as described in accordance with the BPA Call document and the terms and conditions of this BPA.

B. Extent of Obligation: The Government is obligated only to the extent of authorized purchases actually made under this BPA.

C. Purchase Limitation: All calls placed under this BPA will fall under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

D. Individuals authorized to purchase under the BPA: Any Contracting Officer operating within the limits of their warrant may make BPA Calls under these BPAs.

E. Delivery Tickets: Use of delivery tickets is not anticipated.

F. Invoices: BPA Call invoicing shall be submitted via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). See FAR 52.212-4(g) for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) requirements.
