AG-05K3-S-10-0049 Upper Wind River Road Decommissioning Project 2 of 27

SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 Scope of Contract

This project includes removal and disposal of culverts, scarification, installation of water bars and cross ditches, fill pull back, construction of a road closure berm and re-vegetation.

C.2 Project Location

This project is located on Forest Roads 3000136, 3056 and 3056105 on Mt. Adams Ranger District on the Gifford Pinchot NF. See attached vicinity map.

C.3 Performance Work Statement

The contractor shall perform the following tasks.

(a) Water Bars and Cross Ditches

Water bars and cross ditches shall be constructed where and as SHOWN ON DRAWINGS and work list or as marked on the ground. Waterbars and cross ditches shall be sloped to drain to the outside area of the roadbed unless otherwise SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS

(b) Road Closure - Earthen Barrier

Earthen Closures and Barriers shall be constructed as SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS at locations shown on the work list and marked on the ground.

(c) Culvert Removal

All designated culverts and appurtenances such as cross-drains, trash racks and sub-drains shall be removed. All removed culverts and appurtenances shall become property of the Contractor and shall be removed from National Forest land.

Limits of excavation and disposal areas will be agreed to in the field by the Contracting Officer. The excavation and piles of resulting material are to conform to the dimensions and requirements of the detail drawing for culvert removals, the work list or as designated on the ground.

The final width of the stream channel after drainage structures have been removed shall equal or exceed the width SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS, work list or staked on the ground.

The elevation of the constructed channel shall be to the grade of the original channel or the gradient of the pipe, whichever is lower. The slope or gradient line from inlet to outlet shall be straight unless excess rock is encountered in original channel. Stream banks shall be sloped to the original stream bank contours or to 2:1 (run: rise), whichever is steeper, unless otherwise SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS. Excavation shall proceed in an orderly manner designed to keep the culvert inlet open as long as possible in live water streams, and to keep the existing embankment from failing or eroding. If water flow is present at individual sites a work plan will be required detailing procedures planned to minimize erosion and sedimentation, and shall include proposed methods for water diversion. Rocks and woody debris over 12 inches may be placed along edges of channel for erosion control, but shall not narrow the required width of the channel.

AG-05K3-S-10-0049 Upper Wind River Road Decommissioning Project 3 of 27

Excavated material shall be placed on cut sections of the road prism against back slopes along the roadbed unless otherwise SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS. Excavated material shall be shaped to blend in with existing ground above back slope. Piles shall be shaped to drain.

Removal of trees, brush, and other debris necessary to facilitate culvert removal will be considered incidental to this item and disposal of such shall be accomplished by scattering of material on the excavated slopes and disposal piles resulting from culvert removals. Vegetation is to be scattered in a manner that will avoid unstable concentrations.

(d) Scarification

Scarification is the thorough decompaction of a road or landing surface. All existing road surface, including turnouts and landings shall be scarified to a depth of 18” with an excavator bucket. No mounds of material shall be placed on unexcavated ground. Scarification is not required for areas where excavated material from culvert removals, cross ditches, or embankment pullback will exceed 2’ in depth. When shown in the plans or work list a 1’ strip of ground shall remain unscarified for future use as a pathway. Allowable tolerance on this unscarified strip is + 1’. This unscarified strip shall be continuous between all other work items.

Removal of trees, brush, and other debris to facilitate scarification will be considered incidental to this item and disposal of such shall be accomplished by scattering of material upon the scarified roadway.

If equipment required for completion of other work items passes over previously scarified ground, the Contracting Officer may require re-scarification of these areas with no additional payment.

Payment will be Lump Sum for acceptable completion of scarified road bed. Scarification is not to be done where excavated material from culvert removals, cross ditches, or embankment pullback will exceed 2’ in depth.

(e) Fill Pullback

Designated roads or segments shall have fill pulled back to limits and slopes SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS. Excavated material shall be placed at designated locations against back slopes or on flats, unless otherwise SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS, sloped to drain, and left in an un-compacted condition.

Removal of trees, brush, and other debris necessary to facilitate fill pullback will be considered incidental to this item and disposal of such shall be accomplished by scattering of material on the completed slopes and disposal piles resulting from fill pull back. Vegetation is to be scattered in a manner that will avoid unstable concentrations.

(f) Seeding and mulching

When SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS, place Government furnished seed mix on all disturbed areas.

Unless a specific seeding season is listed, seeding shall be done as soon as ground disturbing work has been accepted.

Seed shall be applied at approximately 60 lbs of seed per acre.

Hand operated seeding devices shall be used to apply seed.

AG-05K3-S-10-0049 Upper Wind River Road Decommissioning Project 4 of 27

"Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number" means the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities.

"Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number" means the DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional CCR records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at Subpart 32.11) for the same concern.

"Registered in the CCR database" means that--

(1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, into the CCR database; and

(2) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the

AG-05K3-S-10-0049 Upper Wind River Road Decommissioning Project 13 of 27

Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and has marked the record "Active". The Contractor 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. The DUNS number will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the CCR database.

(c) If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one.

(1) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number--

(i) Via the Internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform or if the offeror does not have internet access, it may call Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 if located within the United States; or

(ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

The offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a U.S. Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(2) The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:

(i) Company legal business.

(ii) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized.

(iii) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and Zip Code.

(iv) Company Mailing Address, City, State and Zip Code (if separate from physical).

(v) Company Telephone Number.

(vi) Date the company was started.

(vii) Number of employees at your location.

(viii) Chief executive officer/key manager.

(ix) Line of business (industry).

(x) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship within your entity).

(d) If the Offeror does not become registered in the CCR database in the time prescribed by the

AG-05K3-S-10-0049 Upper Wind River Road Decommissioning Project 14 of 27

Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror.

(e) Processing time, which normally takes 48 hours, should be taken into consideration when registering.

Offerors who are not registered should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of this solicitation.

(f) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the CCR database, and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the CCR database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(g)(1)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, "doing business as" name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the CCR database; (B) comply with the requirements of Subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (g)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the CCR information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of Payment" paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the CCR database. Information provided to the Contractor's CCR record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of payment" paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(h) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at http://www.ccr.gov or by calling 1-888-227-2423, or 269-961-5757.

K.2 52.219-28 Post-Award Small Business Program Rerepresentation (APR 2009)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause -

Long-term contract means a contract of more than five years in duration, including options. However, the term does not include contracts that exceed five years in duration because the period of performance has been extended for a cumulative period not to exceed six months under the clause at 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, or other appropriate authority.

Small business concern means a concern, including its affiliates, that is independently owned and

AG-05K3-S-10-0049 Upper Wind River Road Decommissioning Project 21 of 27 operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which it is bidding on Government contracts, and qualified as a small business under the criteria in 13 CFR part 121 and the size standard in paragraph (c) of this clause. Such a concern is ""not dominant in its field of operation'' when it does not exercise a controlling or major influence on a national basis in a kind of business activity in which a number of business concerns are primarily engaged. In determining whether dominance exists, consideration shall be given to all appropriate factors, including volume of business, number of employees, financial resources, competitive status or position, ownership or control of materials, processes, patents, license agreements, facilities, sales territory, and nature of business activity.

(b) If the Contractor represented that it was a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor shall rerepresent its size status according to paragraph (e) of this clause or, if applicable, paragraph (g) of this clause, upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(1) Within 30 days after execution of a novation agreement or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the novation agreement was executed prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(2) Within 30 days after a merger or acquisition that does not require a novation or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the merger or acquisition occurred prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(3) For long-term contracts -

(i) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the end of the fifth year of the contract; and

(ii) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the date specified in the contract for exercising any option thereafter.

(c) The Contractor shall rerepresent its size status in accordance with the size standard in effect at the time of this rerepresentation that corresponds to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this contract. The small business size standard corresponding to this NAICS code can be found at http://www.sba.gov/ services/contractingopportunities/ sizestandardstopics/.

(d) The small business size standard for a Contractor providing a product which it does not manufacture itself, for a contract other than a construction or service contract, is 500 employees.

(e) Except as provided in paragraph (g) of this clause, the Contractor shall make the rerepresentation required by paragraph (b) of this clause by validating or updating all its representations in the Online Representations and Certifications Application and its data in the Central Contractor Registration, as necessary, to ensure that they reflect the Contractor's current status. The Contractor shall notify the contracting office in writing within the timeframes specified in paragraph (b) of this clause that the data have been validated or updated, and provide the date of the validation or update.

(f) If the Contractor represented that it was other than a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor may, but is not required to, take the actions required by paragraphs (e) or (g) of this clause.

(g) If the Contractor does not have representations and certifications in ORCA, or does not have a representation in ORCA for the NAICS code applicable to this contract, the Contractor is required to complete the following rerepresentation and submit it to the contracting office, along with the contract number and the date on which the rerepresentation was completed:
