SECTION C--DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 SCOPE OF CONTRACT

Project consists of furnishing the construction and materials necessary to complete shoreline erosion control treatments at four sites on the north shoreline of Lake Chelan in

Chelan County, Washington. Construction consists of furnishing and installing special rock embankment, large woody debris, erosion control products as well as other incidental items in a variety of configurations called treatments at locations staked on the ground by the Government prior to commencing work. This work is being done to fulfill the requirements of an Article (1) Forest Service Erosion Control Plan to the license issued by the United States of America Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to Public

Utility District No. 1 of Chelan County (Chelan PUD) for Lake Chelan Hydroelectric

Project No. 637 located on the Chelan River near the city of Chelan, Washington.

C.2 PROJECT LOCATION

The proposed Lake Chelan Shoreline Erosion Control Phase 7 work is located at four sites on the north shoreline of Lake Chelan on the Lake Chelan Ranger District of the Okanogan and Wenatchee National Forest. The primary access to this site is by boat or barge. The

Lady of the Lake private commercial ferry does not have scheduled stops at Graham

Harbor Campground or at Graham Harbor Creek Campground. The boat ramp nearest the project sites is located at Twentyfive Mile Creek State Park. Other boat ramps are available at Shrine Beach, Lake Chelan State Park, Chelan Riverwalk Park, Old Mill Park and Lake

Shore Marina. Commercial barge service is available on Lake Chelan from Mountain

Barge Services LLC, 1222 W. Woodin Ave, Chelan, WA 98816 phone (509)682-2493. The availability of boat ramps varies depending on the water level of Lake Chelan. This project requires work on Lake Chelan at two time periods. The first is during high-pool lake levels

(October to December) to pre-position rock at the project sites and the second is during low-pool lake levels (December to March) to complete the erosion control work.

Prospective offers are advised to verify the availability of planned boat launches during low-pool periods.

The work sites are Site No. 14, 15, 16 and 17. Sites are located in Section 20, Township 30

North, Range 19 East, Willamette Meridian (WM) in Chelan County, Washington. The project site may be reached from Chelan, Washington by traveling up Lake Chelan approximately 38 miles from the Lady of the Lake boat dock. The project site is approximately 11 miles up-lake from the Twentyfive Mile Creek State Park boat ramp.

C.3 PRICE RANGE

The Government's estimate is: Between $25,000 and $100,000

C.4 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

The construction of erosion control measures required by this contract at Site Nos. 14, 15

16 and 17 are required as part of the license issued by FERC for the Lake Chelan

Hydroelectric Project No. 637-041 to the Chelan PUD.

Erosion Control Treatments for Site 14

3.1.1 Erosion Control Work for Site 14 – Graham Harbor Campground

This site is Graham Harbor Campground and dock. It is 100 feet long with a wood wall protecting the site. The wall consists of four log courses with the bottom course approximately 8- 12 inches above the 1,100-foot high water line. The wall has a wood boardwalk along the top for pedestrian use.

At site 14 approximately 57 lineal feet will be treated with T3S Modified – Single

Row Rock Placement. There will be no LWD because rock can be placed directly on the flat shoreline without any ground disturbance. This treatment will inhibit materials being washed out underneath the bottom log course as the rock will block wave action especially when lake levels are nearly equal to the bottom elevation of this wall.

Work at Site 14 will need to be done from the barge due to potential lithic scatter being present. No ground disturbance will be allowed at this site and equipment will not be allowed to operate on dry shoreline. Mobilization cost should include all barge work the contractor anticipates.

Due to the limited and simple nature of this site a shoreline profile or site sketch was unnecessary to determine treatments for this site. Treatment zones are identified in the photos for this site.

This site is located between Graham Harbor Campground and Graham

Harbor Creek Campground. The site consists of four steep chutes of relatively narrow width.

At site 15 approximately 59 lineal feet will be treated at four separate locations with T3

3.1.1 Erosion Control Work for Site 16 – Graham Harbor Creek Campground

This site is located in front of Graham Harbor Creek Campground and directly downlake of the Graham Harbor Creek Fixed dock. It has a 185-foot-long crib wall protecting the site. The four- pole vertical wall needs toe protection to reduce wave energies from pulling materials out and initiating wall failures. Additionally, the entire wall needs to be faced with rock in order to provide long term protection of the shoreline in this location.

Approximately 185 feet will be treated with enhanced placed rock (TW Modified).

This will be the only treatment for this homogenous site. No excavation work will be needed in the drawdown zone to key in the first course of rock due to the flat nature of the shoreline at the interface with the existing wall. Therefore, no large woody debris is required or will be incorporated into the treatment.

3.2 Mitigation Measures Included

Of the group of sites in this site-specific plan, sites 14 and 16 are defined as group 1 sites in the Settlement Agreement, indicating they are located in high-use recreation areas

(e.g., campgrounds). Sites 15 and 17 are not defined as being group 1 sites, but are listed as being scheduled for treatment along with sites 14 and 16. Sites 1 and 2 are defined as being group 3 sites in the Settlement Agreement, selected for treatment based on visual impact of the erosion occurring at the sites.

Noxious weed control will be addressed by: 1) limiting foreign soils being brought into the sites;

2) limiting ground disturbance to areas below elevation 1,100 feet, the normal maximum lake level; and, 3) obtaining large rock from a weed-free certified pit. Every effort will be made to keep existing slopes and vegetation as stable as possible during treatment.

These sites all have fairly good natural vegetation that will fill in once toe erosion is stabilized. However, spot shoreline plantings may be completed by Forest Service personnel at select sites where plantings are needed.

Large Woody Debris (LWD) will be used to benefit fish and address wave action where possible at a ratio (1/1) of disturbed shoreline as agreed to with permitting agencies. This set of treatment allows for LWD placement to be incorporated into approximately 792 linear feet of shoreline treatments. It will not be a continuous treatment but a selected piece anchored occasionally until we reach the appropriate amount. It will be done so that it does not interfere with dock access or other recreational shoreline to water access at the campgrounds. T1 treatments include excavation that is used in the LWD calculation. We have calculated 792 lineal feet of these treatments with excavation disturbances of approximately 1.5 feet, so we have a square footage of required LWD of approximately 1,188 square feet. With “average” pieces of LWD being a 20-foot log and 14-16 inches in diameter, each log would represent about 25 square feet of mitigation. Thus we are planning to place approximately 48 “average” logs within the treatment areas that allow for LWD.

3.3 Implementation and Effectiveness Monitoring

The effectiveness monitoring schedule is based on when each site will be treated. The timelines for site treatment are outlined in Chapter 1 of the Lake Chelan

Comprehensive Management Plan. The monitoring will be focused on the evaluation of four distinct focus areas:

1. Slope stabilization with an objective of reaching a 90-percent success rate in the treated areas.

2. Presence of native vegetation with an objective of reaching ratio of native to non- native vegetation similar to that found on nearby on undisturbed slopes on 90 percent of treated area. This will take into account the percentage of rock, and bare spots as this is a very dry hostile natural environment.

3. Presence of noxious weeds with an objective of not introducing any new noxious weeds through the course of treatment. Implementation methodologies are designed to exclude the introduction of noxious weeds. Treated areas will be monitored on an ongoing basis to determine if the methodologies employed are sufficient to meet the project objectives.

F/N 40815 Page 30 June

14, 2013

4. Stability of LWD with an objective of minimizing movement. Large loose objects could become hazardous to the site users.

All sites will be monitored 1, 3 and 5 years following treatment at the sites. For efficiency, some sites monitoring may be conducted when additional vegetation is being planted following the initial stabilization. LWD inspections and slope stability inspections will be conducted during drawdown times to allow inspection of anchoring devices. Noxious weed and vegetation inspections will occur after leaf-out, typically in the May-to-June time period. These inspections will be coordinated with other erosion control implementation steps to provide travel and time efficiencies when possible.

C.5 NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT and PERMITTING

4.1 NEPA

The Forest Service accepted the Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for

Hydropower for Lake Chelan Hydroelectric Project, FERC Project No. 637, FERC, October 2003, for erosion control treatments. Materials included in the FEA detailed all previously conducted survey work, and proposed site-specific treatment areas that were measured and mapped at 10-foot increments. The proposed specific treatments have not materially changed since the date of issuance of the FEA and, as such, will be consistent with the intent of the original proposed treatments.

4.2 Permitting

To ensure that site-specific permitting requirements are met, Project Files, including biological evaluation data, cultural resources, and consultation, will be created or updated, to provide additional site-specific information in a timely manner over the life of the License. Project Files include the Biological Evaluation (BE) data and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) concurrence letters, the Cultural Resources information, and the Joint Aquatic Resources Permit Application (JARPA).

The USFWS concurred with the Forest Service findings of “may affect not likely to adversely affect” the northern spotted owl (Strix occidntalis caurina), gray wolf (Canis lupus), and grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) in the Biological Evaluation for Lake Chelan

Erosion Sites in letters dated August 15, 2007 and April 8, 2008. These letters were included as part of the Site-Specific Erosion Control Plan (Sites 24, 25, 26 and 27) submitted to the FERC on November 18, 2009. The proposed treatments at the sites covered in this site-specific plan are consistent with the BE and a programmatic consistency form will be completed to document meeting requirements in the BE. The

USFWS will review annual site specific program consistency analysis forms (PCF), which are tied to a larger programmatic analysis of the entire project over the 25 years of erosion control treatment.

A JARPA is being submitted to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife

(WDFW), Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology), USFWS, and the Army

Corps of Engineers (Corps). The JARPA is the formal request for Nationwide Permit 13

Bank Stabilization from the Corps. It also addresses Ecology’s 401 Water Quality

Certification permit and the WDFW’s Hydraulic Project Application (HPA) addressed under the 2005 HPA Memorandum of Understanding.

4.3 Cultural Resources

The project area was surveyed for cultural resources during the relicensing project. A project description has been submitted to Powys Gadd, Okanogan-Wenatchee National

Forest Archaeologist, for review. A report will be submitted to the Washington State

Historic Preservation Office and concurrence documented prior to commencing project activities. Nation-to-Nation letters will be sent to the Confederated Tribes of the

Colville Reservation and the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Indian

Nation in June 2013.

1. Has investigated proposed product and determined that it is equal to or superior in all respects to that originally specified.

2. Will provide same warranties and bond for substitute as for originally specified product.

3. Will coordinate installation of accepted substitution into the work, and will make such changes as may be required for the work to be complete in all respects.

4. Will waive claims for additional costs caused by substitution, which may subsequently become apparent.

5. Cost data is complete and includes related costs under the contract, but not:

a) Costs under separate contracts.

b) Contracting Officer costs for redesign or revision of contract documents.

b. The Contractor assumes full responsibility that the substitution and/or alternate items or procedures proposed will meet the job requirements.

c. The Contractor is solely responsible for the cost of redesign and modifications to this and other parts of the work caused by the substitutions or alternates furnished.

H.4 LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION

The Contractor shall give attention to the effect of contract operation upon the landscape, shall take care to maintain natural surroundings undamaged, and shall conduct the work at all times in compliance with the following requirements.

a. Prevention of the Landscape Defacement. The Contractor shall not remove, deface, injure, or destroy trees, shrubs, lawns, or other natural features or any other improvements in the work area unless specifically authorized by the Contracting Officer.

Unless otherwise provided herein, the Contractor shall confine contract operations to within the areas designated in contract documents.

b. Protection of Streams, Lakes, and Reservoirs. The Contractor shall take sufficient precautions to prevent pollution of streams, lakes, small ponds, and reservoirs with fuels, oils, bitumens, calcium chloride, silt, or other harmful materials. Mechanical equipment shall not be operated in live streams without written approval of the Contracting Officer.

H.5 CONFORMITY WITH DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS

Unless working tolerances are specified, all work performed and materials furnished shall be in reasonably close conformity with lines, grades, cross sections, dimensions, and material requirements shown on the drawings, indicated in the specifications, or designated on the ground. "Reasonably close conformity" is in compliance with reasonable and customary manufacturing and construction tolerances.

a. Definition. "Work" includes, but is not limited to, materials, workmanship, and manufacture and fabrication of components.

b. The Contractor shall maintain an adequate inspection system and perform such inspections as will ensure that the work performed under the contract conforms to contract requirements. The Contractor shall maintain complete inspection records and make them available to the Government. All work shall be conducted under the general direction of the Contracting Officer and is subject to Government inspection and test at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract.

c. Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the Government and do not—

1. Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;

2. Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

3. Constitute or imply acceptance; or

4. Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (I) below.

d. The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer's written authorization.

e. The Contractor shall promptly furnish, without additional charge, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge to the

Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

f. The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the

Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the

Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.

g. If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, the Government may (1) by contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the

Contractor or (2) terminate for default the Contractor's right to proceed.

h. If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

i. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately.

Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government's rights under any warranty or guarantee.

H.6 SUSPENSIONS FOR OTHER THAN GOVERNMENT’S CONVENIENCE

The Contracting Officer may issue orders to suspend the work wholly or in part for such period of time as deemed necessary because of: (1) Weather or ground conditions when further prosecution of the work might cause environmental or resource damage to the project, access roads to the project, or adjacent property. Such action would include but not be limited to instances such as siltation of streams, damage to access roads, rutting of project roads which causes otherwise suitable soils to become muddy or unsuitable; or (2) Failure of the Contractor to comply with Specifications such as but not limited to placement of frozen material in fills, placing of asphalts at temperatures lower than those specified, performing work prior to prerequisite approvals, operating equipment not meeting fire requirements, or when conditions exist which do not meet safety requirements. Whether or not a suspend work notice is issued, the Contractor shall be responsible for correcting any damage caused by his/her operation, whether inside or outside project limits, at no cost to the Government. Such suspensions shall not be considered as suspensions for the Convenience of the Government under FAR

52.242-14, Suspension of Work, and shall not qualify for equitable adjustment.

H.7 ACCIDENT PREVENTION (FAR 52.236-13) (NOV 1991)

(a) The Contractor shall provide and maintain work environments and procedures which will (1) safeguard the public and Government personnel, property, materials, supplies, and equipment exposed to Contractor operations and activities; (2) avoid interruptions of

Government operations and delays in project completion dates; and (3) control costs in the performance of this contract.

(b) For these purposes on contracts for construction or dismantling, demolition, or removal of improvements, the Contractor shall --

(1) Provide appropriate safety barricades, signs, and signal lights;

(2) Comply with the standards issued by the Secretary of Labor at 29 CFR Part 1926 and 29 CFR Part 1910; and

(3) Ensure that any additional measures the Contracting Officer determines to be reasonably necessary for the purposes are taken.

(c) If this contract is for construction or dismantling, demolition or removal of improvements with any Department of Defense agency or component, the Contractor shall comply with all pertinent provisions of the latest version of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1, in effect on the date of the solicitation.

(d) Whenver the Contracting Officer becomes aware of any noncompliance with these requirements or any condition which poses a serious or imminent danger to the health or safety of the public or Government personnel, the Contracting Officer shall notify the

Contractor orally, with written confirmation, and request immediate initiation of corrective action. This notice, when delivered to the Contractor or the Contractor's representative at the work site, shall be deemed sufficient notice of the noncompliance and that corrective action is required. After receiving the notice, the Contractor shall immediately take corrective action. If the Contractor fails or refuses to promptly take corrective action, the

Contracting Officer may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. The Contractor shall not be entitled to any equitable adjustment of the contract price or extension of the performance schedule on any stop work order issued under this clause.

(e) The Contractor shall insert this clause, including this paragraph (e), with appropriate changes in the designation of the parties, in subcontracts.

H.8 FAR 52.236-3 SITE INVESTIGATION AND CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE WORK

(APR 1984)

(a) The Contractor acknowledges that it has taken steps reasonably necessary to ascertain the nature and location of the work, and that it has investigated and satisfied itself as to the general and local conditions which can affect the work or its cost, including but not limited to

(1) conditions bearing upon transportation, disposal, handling, and storage of materials; (2) the availability of labor, water, electric power, and roads; (3) uncertainties of weather, river stages, tides, or similar physical conditions at the site; (4) the conformation and conditions of the ground; and (5) the character of equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during work performance. The Contractor also acknowledges that it has satisfied itself as to the character, quality, and quantity of surface and subsurface materials or obstacles to be encountered insofar as this information is reasonably ascertainable from an inspection of the site, including all exploratory work done by the Government, as well as from the drawings and specifications made a part of this contract. Any failure of the Contractor to take the actions described and acknowledged in this paragraph will not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty and cost of successfully performing the work, or for proceeding to successfully perform the work without additional expense to the Government.

(b) The Government assumes no responsibility for any conclusions or interpretations made by the Contractor based on the information made available by the Government. Nor does the

Government assume responsibility for any understanding reached or representation made concerning conditions which can affect the work by any of its officers or agents before the execution of this contract, unless that understanding or representation is expressly stated in this contract.

“Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item”—

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is—

(i) A commercial item (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition at FAR 2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(4), such as agricultural products and petroleum products.

“Component” means an article, material, or supply incorporated directly into a construction material.

“Construction material” means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.
