(Washington State Department of Fish & Wildlife – US Forest Service Memorandum of Understanding)

A complete copy of the MOU document will be provided to the Contractor at the Pre-Work

Meeting. The Contractor shall have it readily available on the jobsite at all times.

The following provisions are applicable to this contract:

H.5 GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL APPENDIX A PROJECTS

Timing

1. Freshwater hydraulic projects shall normally be implemented only during the work periods outlined in Appendix D. Other timing will be allowed on a site-specific basis if the Forest Service fish biologist and WDFW Area Habitat Biologist agree that implementing the activity outside of the normal period would be unlikely to cause negative impacts to fish. Any agreements to modify the work periods in Appendix D for specific projects or specific sites shall be documented by WDFW.

2. Those portions of hydraulic project work that occur outside or above the bankfull channel and have little or no potential to negatively affect fish or fish habitat are not subject to the work periods specified in Appendix D. Examples of such work include replacing bridge decking, constructing a bridge superstructure after footings are in place, and building up the fill of a culvert that is in place. These projects are still bound the other provisions in Appendix A. The Forest Service shall notify the appropriate WDFW Regional Habitat Program Manager prior to implementing work on these hydraulic projects outside the work periods specified in Appendix D.

3. Hydraulic projects conducted in intermittent non-fish-bearing streams that are dry during the proposed work are not subject to the work periods specified in Appendix D unless USFS fish biologist determine the activities are likely to negatively affect fish life, in which case the work periods specified in Appendix D apply.

Hydraulic projects conducted in wetted non-fish-bearing streams that are greater than ¼ mile from fish-bearing water are not subject to the work periods specified in Appendix D unless USFS fish biologist determine the activities are likely to negatively affect fish life, in which case the work periods specified in Appendix D apply.

Fish Protection

4. Any pump used for diverting water from a fish-bearing waterbody shall be equipped with a fish guard to prevent passage of fish into the pump. The pump intake shall be screened with 3/32 inch or smaller mesh. Screen maintenance shall be adequate to prevent injury or entrapment to juvenile fish and shall remain in place whenever water is withdrawn from the water body through the pump intake.

5. Fish within construction sites that will be dewatered or isolated from the main water body will be captured and safely moved from the job site. Fish capture and transportation equipment shall be available on the job site during all in water activities.

6. If at any time, as a result of project activities, a fish kill occurs, fish are observed in distress, or water quality problems develop that may present a threat to fish life, the Forest Service shall immediately notify the appropriate WDFW Regional Habitat Program Manager. Outside of business hours, notification shall be made to the Washington State Emergency Management Division of the Department of Ecology at 1-800-258-5990.

Erosion and Wastewater Control

7. Alteration or disturbance of the bed, banks, and vegetation of waterbodies shall be minimized and limited to that necessary to construct the project.

8. Erosion prevention and control methods shall be used as necessary during and immediately after project implementation to minimize loss or displacement of soils and to prevent delivery of sediment into waterbody. These may include, but are not limited to, operational techniques, straw bales, silt fencing, erosion control blankets, temporary sediment ponds, and/or immediate mulching of exposed areas. Disturbed ground with the potential to deliver sediment into waterbodies shall be revegetated or protected from surface erosion by seeding, mulching, other methods prior to the fall rainy season.

9. After project completion, disturbed streambanks and lakeshores shall be revegetated with site-appropriate vegetation to maintain soil stability and provide shade and future sources of large wood.

10. Wastewater from project activities shall be routed to an area outside the bankfull channel to allow removal of fine sediment and other contaminants prior to infiltrating back into waterbodies.

Heavy Equipment

11. The use of heavy equipment within the bankfull channel in streams and below the ordinary high water line in lakes is discouraged. If such work is necessary, operation of heavy equipment in these areas shall be minimized.

12. Accumulations of soil or debris shall be removed from drive mechanisms (wheels, tires, tracks, etc.) and undercarriage of all heavy equipment prior to its working within the bankfull channel in streams or below the ordinary high water line in lakes.

13. To prevent contamination, equipment used around waterbodies shall be free of external petroleum-based products. Equipment shall be checked daily for leaks and any necessary repairs shall be completed prior to commencing work activities. All machinery fueling and maintenance involving petroleum products shall occur at a sufficient distance from stream channels, waterbodies, or wetlands to prevent delivery of potential contaminants. Spill containment equipment and material shall be on site.

Concrete and Treated Wood

15. Fresh concrete, concrete by-products, or other chemical contaminants shall not be allowed to enter waterbodies. Structures containing concrete shall be sufficiently cured to prevent leaching prior to contact with the waterbody.

16. Treated wood used for hydraulic projects shall meet or exceed the standards established in the most current edition of "Best Management Practices For the Use of Treated Wood in Aquatic Environments” developed by the Western Wood Preservers Institute.

At the time of the signing of this MOU, the most current version is the July 1996 edition.

Other

17. A copy of this MOU shall be available on site at all times when work is conducted under the provisions of Appendix A.

WDFW-USFS INTERIM MOU SPECIFIC PROJECT PROVISIONS

Permanent Culvert Installation and Replacement

NOTE: Permanent culvert installation and replacement projects include installation of new culverts that are installed for more than one year and replacement of existing culverts with similar or larger structures.

In addition to the General Provisions Applicable to All Projects, the following project-specific provisions apply when conducting permanent culvert installation or replacement projects.

1. In non fish-bearing waters, Provisions 2-6 (highlighted with a *) are not required.

2. *Culverts in fish-bearing streams shall be designed, installed, and maintained to provide passage for all fish species and all life stages that are likely to be encountered at the site.

3. *Culverts in fish-bearing streams shall be designed and installed based on the stream simulation approach. Stream simulation designs are intended to mimic the natural stream characteristics and processes.

4. *Site investigations and selections of appropriate stream simulation culvert designs should be guided by Washington State “Design of Road Culverts for Fish Passage”, R-6 Training Manual, or an equivalent process.

5. *Forest Service shall notify WDFW when they begin the design process for a fish passage culvert. Collaboration is encouraged on these projects and can be initiated by either agency when there are concerns about any of these projects.

6. *A Forest Service staff with expertise in stream processes and fish habitat shall be on-site during initial culvert placement and placement of streambed materials inside the pipe for all culverts in fish-bearing streams.

7. *Installation of baffled culverts in fish-bearing streams is not included under Appendix A.

8. Culverts shall be designed, installed and maintained to accommodate the 100-year peak flow with consideration of the sediment load and large wood likely to be encountered.

9. Culverts shall be designed, installed and maintained to avoid negative channel changes such as inlet scouring or erosion of the streambed or banks downstream of the project.

10. The crossing structure shall consist of a single culvert.

11. Construction sites shall be dewatered or isolated from flowing waters to prevent generation of sediment and minimize turbidity.

12. Every effort shall be made to avoid stream crossings with heavy equipment. A single round-trip equipment crossing of the stream channel shall be allowed, if necessary. Equipment operation within the stream channel inside of the approximate culvert footprint is permissible so long as the stream has been dewatered.

(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;

(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.

I.3 FAR 52.225-9 BUY AMERICAN ACT—CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS (FEB

2009)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

“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 section 3 of the Shipping Act of 1984 (46 U.S.C. App. 1702), 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.

“Cost of components” means--

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

“Domestic construction material” means—

(1) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States;

(2) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if—

(i) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or

(ii) The construction material is a COTS item.

“Foreign construction material” means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

“United States” means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference.

(1) This clause implements the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. 10a-10d) by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 431, the component test of the Buy American Act is waived for construction material that is a COTS item. (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to the construction material or components listed by the Government as follows: NONE

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American Act is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 6 percent;

(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American Act to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or

(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American Act.

(1)

(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause shall include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request, including--

(A) A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;

(B) Unit of measure;

(C) Quantity;

(D) Price;

(E) Time of delivery or availability;

(F) Location of the construction project;

(G) Name and address of the proposed supplier; and

(H) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause.

(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(iii) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).

(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a determination.

(2) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American Act applies and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material. However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this clause.

(3) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American Act applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American Act.

(d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c) of this clause based on unreasonable cost, the Contractor shall include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:

Foreign and Domestic Construction Materials Price Comparison

Construction material description Unit of measure Quantity Price (dollars) *

Item 1

Foreign construction material

Domestic construction material

Item 2

Foreign construction material

[List name, address, telephone number, and contact for suppliers surveyed. Attach copy of response; if oral, attach summary.]

[Include other applicable supporting information.]

[*Include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued).]

I.4 FAR 52.228-13 ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT PROTECTION (JUL 2000)

(a) The Contractor shall submit one of the following payment protections

• Payment Bond

• Irrevocable Letter of Credit

• Cashier’s Check

(b) The amount of the payment protection shall be 100 percent of the contract price.

(c) The submission of the payment protection is required within 10 days of contract award.

(d) The payment protection shall provide protection for the full contract performance period plus a one-year period.

(e) Except for escrow agreements and payment bonds, which provide their own protection procedures, the Contracting Officer is authorized to access funds under the payment protection when it has been alleged in writing by a supplier of labor or material that a nonpayment has occurred, and to withhold such funds pending resolution by administrative or judicial proceedings or mutual agreement of the parties.

(f) When a tripartite escrow agreement is used, the Contractor shall utilize only suppliers of labor and material that signed the escrow agreement.

I.5 AGAR 452.228-70 ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF SECURITY (NOV 1996)

If furnished as security, money orders, drafts, cashier's checks, or certified checks shall be drawn payable to: USDA Forest Service.
