H.12 WDFW-USFS INTERIM MOU PROVISIONS (JAN 2012)

A copy of this Contract Requirement must be on-site at all times when work is being conducted under this contract.

The following provisions are applicable to this contract:

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

RFP No. AG-05M6-S-15-0052 Project: Sulphur Creek Campground Restoration Page 16 of 151 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 bank full 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.

4. 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

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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

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

9. 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 water body. 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 water bodies shall be re-vegetated or protected from surface erosion by seeding, mulching, other methods prior to the fall

RFP No. AG-05M6-S-15-0052 Project: Sulphur Creek Campground Restoration Page 17 of 151 rainy season.

10. After project completion, disturbed stream banks and lakeshores shall be re-vegetated with site-appropriate vegetation to maintain soil stability and provide shade and future sources of large wood.

11. Wastewater from project activities shall be routed to an area outside the bank full channel to allow removal of fine sediment and other contaminants prior to infiltrating back into water bodies.

Heavy Equipment

12. The use of heavy equipment within the bank-full 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.

13. 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 bank-full channel in streams or below the ordinary high water line in lakes.

14. To prevent contamination, equipment used around water bodies 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, water bodies, 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 water bodies. Structures containing concrete shall be sufficiently cured to prevent leaching prior to contact with the water body.

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

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

2. Every effort shall be made to avoid stream crossings with heavy equipment. A single round-trip

Equipment operation within the stream channel inside of the approximate culvert footprint is permissible so long as the stream has been dewatered.

3. Silt Fence.

(2) has not been convicted (or had an officer or agent acting on its behalf convicted) of a felony criminal violation under any Federal law within 24 months preceding the award, unless a suspending and debarring official of the United States Department of Agriculture has considered suspension or debarment of the awardee, or such officer or agent, based on these convictions and/or tax delinquencies and determined that suspension or debarment is not necessary to protect the interests of the Government.

I.4 FAR 52.219-28 POST-AWARD SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAM REPRESENTA-

TION (JUL 2013)

(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 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…
