Small Lake Dredging/Sediment Removal-Shores Lake, Arkansas

Boston Mountain Ranger District, Ozark-St. Francis National Forests The Boston Mountain Ranger District of the Ozark-St. Francis National Forests is seeking quotes for removal of silt/sediment in Shores Lake, approximately 20 miles north of Mulberry in Franklin County, Arkansas. Lake size is 80 acres. We estimate that approximately 28 acres of the lake have silt accumulations ranging in depth from 4 to 6 feet, with an estimated total amount of silt to be approximately 136,000 cubic yards. It is estimated that the sediment is composed primarily of silt, leaf detritus, plant matter and some pea gravel. Equipment will need to be small, portable and capable of navigating in shallow water depths. The lake will not be drained for this project.

The project will occur from October 1, 2012 through March 15, 2013. Contractor will be required to furnish all equipment, supplies and labor, with exception of local area maps and lake depth profile map. Bid price should be price per cubic yard removed. Contractor will be responsible for obtaining all required state and federal permits to complete the work. Bid price will need to include off-site removal and disposal of dredged material. The Forest Service will supply site locations to dispose of material at the pre-work meeting, which will not exceed a total distance of 10 miles one way. Contractor will be able to pipe material to the adjacent parking lot holding facility, but will be required to move the material off site after the water drains from the material. Contractor will be required to return the shoreline, parking lot or any other area used to its original condition.

Project work may begin October 1, 2012 and may proceed until March 15, 2013. The amount of sediment removed will be dependent upon bid price and budget availability. Project contact is Rhea Whalen, Boston Mountain Ranger District, 479-667-2191 or 479-964-7206 or email: rswhalen@fs.fed.us.

FSAR 4G52.222-701 - Employment of Eligible Workers (DEC 1999) Section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 USC 1324a) makes it unlawful for an employer to hire unauthorized aliens. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), now the United States Citizen and Immigration Services, established the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification Form, as the document to be used for employment eligibility verification (8 CFR 274a).

The contractor is required to:

1. Have all employees complete and sign the I-9 Form to certify that they are eligible for employment;

2. Examine documents presented by the employee and ensure the documents appear to be genuine and related to the individual;

3. Record information about the documents on the form, and complete the certification portion of the form;

4. Retain the form for 3 years, or 1 year past the end of employment of the individual, whichever is longer.

It is illegal to discriminate against any individual (other than a citizen of another country who is not authorized to work in the United States) in hiring, discharging, or recruiting because of that individual's national origin or citizenship status.

Compliance with Section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1324a) is a material condition of the contract. If the contractor employs unauthorized workers during contract performance in violation of section 274A, the Government may terminate the contract, in addition to other remedies or penalties prescribed by law.

For further information on the requirements of the Act, contractors should contact the Employer and Labor Relations Officer of their local United States Citizen and Immigration Services office.

FSAR 4G52.222-702 - Labor Standards for Contracts Involving Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Workers (DEC 1999)

(a) General. This contract is subject to the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Workers Protection Act (MSPA) (29 U.S.C 1801-1872) and to Department of Labor regulations implementing MSPA (29 CFR 500). The purpose of MSPA is to eliminate activities that are detrimental to migrant and seasonal agricultural workers, to require registration of farm labor contractors, and to ensure necessary protections for the workers. In addition to traditional farm labor activities, the Act applies to recruiting, soliciting, hiring, employing, furnishing, or transporting any migrant or seasonal worker for predominantly manual forestry work, including but not limited to tree planting, brush cleaning, precommercial tree thinning, and forest firefighting.

(b) Definitions.

"Migrant Agricultural Worker" and "Seasonal Agricultural Worker," as used in this clause, mean individuals employed in agricultural (including forestry) work on a seasonal or temporary basis. A worker who moves from one seasonal activity to another is employed on a seasonal basis even though the worker may continue to be employed during a major portion of the year. Migrant workers are required to be absent overnight from their permanent place of residence. Seasonal workers are not required to be absent overnight from their permanent place of residence. Members of the contractor's immediate family are not considered to be either migrant or seasonal workers. "Immediate family" includes only:

1. Spouse;

2. Children, stepchildren, or foster children;

3. Parents, stepparents, or foster parents; and

4. Brothers and sisters.

"Farm Labor Contractor," as used in this clause, means an individual who, for any money or other valuable consideration, paid or promised to be paid, performs any recruiting, soliciting, hiring, employing, furnishing, or transporting of any migrant or seasonal agricultural worker.

(c) Registration Requirement. Any contractor who provides or hires migrant or seasonal workers to perform agricultural or manual forestry work shall first obtain a Federal Department of Labor Certificate of Registration. The contractor shall carry the Certificate at all times while engaged in contract performance, and shall display it upon request. Any of the contractor's employees who perform any one or more of the activities defined for a "Farm Labor Contractor" in paragraph (b) must have their own Farm Labor Contractor Employee Certificate.

(d) Worker Protections. The contractor shall comply with the following protections and standards related to wage disclosure, record keeping, vehicle safety, and housing:

(1) The contractor shall display and maintain at the place of employment the MSPA poster provided by the Department of Labor.

(2) Wage and Payroll Standards.

(i) The contractor shall disclose in writing to each worker in a language common to the worker the full terms of their employment, including workers compensation information, at the time they are recruited or hired. The Department of Labor provides an optional Form WH-516 for contractor's use in disclosure.

(ii) The contractor shall keep the following payroll records for each employee: name, address, social security number, basis for wages (that is, per hour, per tree, per acre), number of units earned if paid on a per unit basis, hours worked, total pay, withholdings and purpose for each, and net pay. Payroll records must be retained for 3 years.

(iii) Payments must be made no less frequently than every 2 weeks or semi-monthly. At the time of each payment, the contractor shall provide to the employee a written itemization of the information listed in paragraph ii and shall include the employer's tax identification number.

(iv) If paid on a piece rate basis, the employee's wage must be at least equivalent to the required hourly wage for the hours worked, including overtime differential for time in excess of 40 hours per week.

(3) Motor Vehicle Safety.

(i) The contractor shall be registered to transport employees, unless employees provide their own transportation or carpool by their own arrangement in one of their own vehicles. The authorization to transport employees must appear on the contractor's certificate. If the contractor directs or requests employees to carpool, the registration requirement is applicable. Any driver who transports workers for a fee or at the direction of the contractor shall be registered as a farm labor contractor or a farm labor contractor employee.

(ii) Any vehicle under the ownership or control of the contractor must comply with safety standards applicable to that vehicle. Generally, passenger vehicles or station wagons must comply with Department of Labor regulations at 29 CFR 500.104.

Vehicles other than passenger vehicles or station wagons which are driven on any trip for a distance greater than 75 miles by a farm labor contractor or agricultural employer to transport any migrant or seasonal agricultural worker must comply with Department of Transportation Regulations at 29 CFR 500.105. One trip may have numerous stops. All drivers shall have a current, valid State driver’s license.

(iii) Each vehicle under the ownership or control of the contractor which is used to transport any migrant or seasonal agricultural worker must be covered by vehicle insurance of $100,000 per seat (maximum $5,000,000). A workers compensation policy which covers the workers while being transported plus an additional property damage policy for $50,000 for loss or damage in any one accident to the property of others may be substituted for the vehicle insurance requirement.

(4) Housing.

(i)The contractor shall house workers only in a commercial establishment or a facility that has been certified by a health authority or other appropriate agency or, if permitted by the Forest Service, in a camp on National Forest Lands as in 4G52.222-705. The contractor must post the certificate of occupancy at the housing site.

(ii) The authorization to furnish housing, other than commercial lodging, must appear on the contractor's certificate.

(e) For further information on the requirements of the Act, contractors should contact their local Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor.

FSAR 4G52.222-703 - Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act Registration (DEC 1999) The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) (29 U.S.C. 1801-1872) and implementing regulations issued by the Department of Labor (29 CFR 500), require any employer who hires or anticipates hiring employees subject to MSPA to obtain an MSPA registration number.

If the contractor employs or anticipates hiring employees subject to MSPA, the contractor shall provide a valid U.S. Department of Labor MSPA Registration Number to the Contracting Officer within ___ days (30 days unless a shorter time is specified) after notification of award of the contract. The MSPA Registration Number is the number on the Farm Labor Contractor’s DOL-issued Certificate.

The Government may demand that the contractor display MSPA registration at any time during contract performance if it appears that the contractor is employing workers subject to MSPA. On demand, the contractor shall display its MSPA registration or state why it is exempt from MSPA.

Compliance with MSPA is a material condition of the contract. If the contractor fails to provide a valid MSPA number in accordance with this clause, or falsely states that it is exempt from the MSPA, the Government may terminate the contract, in addition to other remedies or penalties prescribed by law.

FSAR 4G52.222-704 - Personal Protective Equipment (FEB 2007) The contractor shall train workers in the safe operation and use of equipment that the worker may use before the worker begins using such equipment.

Personal protective equipment, including personal protective equipment for eyes, face, head, and extremities must be provided, used, and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition wherever it is necessary by reason of hazards or processes encountered which may cause injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body. Defective or damaged personal protective equipment must not be used.

The contractor shall provide chain saw chaps to each employee who operates a chain saw, at no cost to the employee. These chaps must be approved by an Underwriters Laboratory or meet Forest Service specification 6170-47. The chaps must cover the full length of the thigh and must extend to the top of the boot on each leg.

The contractor shall assure that each employee wears foot protection that provides adequate traction and ankle support. Employees operating chain saws shall wear foot protection that is constructed with cut-resistant material which will protect the employee against contact with a running chain saw.

In any area where the worker is exposed to the potential for flying or falling objects, the contractor shall provide a hard hat, at no cost to the employee, and the contractor shall assure that the employee wears the hard hat. The hard hat must meet the minimum requirements of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard Z89.1-1997.

The contractor shall provide, at no cost to the employee, eye protection where there is potential for eye injury due to flying objects. This eye protection must meet the minimum requirements of ANSI standard Z87.1-2003.

The contractor shall provide, at no cost to the employee, hearing protection where there is a potential for hearing loss due to high intensity noise for example, chain saw operation.

AGAR 452.228-71 Insurance Coverage. (NOV 1996) Pursuant to FAR clause 52.228-5, Insurance-Work on a Government Installation, the Contractor will be required to present evidence to show, as a minimum, the amounts of insurance coverage indicated below:

(a) Workers Compensation and Employer's Liability. The Contractor is required to comply with applicable Federal and State workers' compensation and occupational disease statutes. If occupational diseases are not compensable under those statutes, they shall be covered under the employer's liability section of the insurance policy, except when contract operations are so commingled with a Contractor's commercial operations that it would not be practical to require this coverage. Employer's liability coverage of at least $100,000 shall be required, except in States with exclusive or monopolistic funds that do not permit worker's compensation to be written by private carriers.

(b) General Liability. The Contractor shall have bodily injury liability insurance coverage written on a comprehensive form of policy of at least $500,000 per occurrence.

(c) Automobile Liability. The Contractor shall have automobile liability insurance written on a comprehensive form of policy. The policy shall provide for bodily injury and property damage liability covering the operation of all automobiles used in connection with performing the contract. Policies covering automobiles operated in the United States shall provide coverage of at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage or loss.

(d) Aircraft Public and Passenger Liability. When aircraft are used in connection with performing the contract, the Contractor shall have aircraft public and passenger liability insurance. Coverage shall be at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, other than passenger injury. Coverage for passenger injury shall be at least $200,000 multiplied by the number of seats or passengers, whichever is greater.

AGAR 452.237-74 - Key Personnel (FEB 1988)

(a) The Contractor shall assign to this contract the following key personnel:

Contractor’s Representative

Foreman

Inspector

(b) During the first ninety (90) days of performance, the Contractor shall make no substitutions of key personnel unless the substitution is necessitated by illness, death, or termination of employment. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer within 15 calendar days after the occurrence of any of these events and provide the information required by paragraph (c) below. After the initial 90-day period, the Contractor shall submit the information required by paragraph (c) to the Contracting Officer at least 15 days prior to making any permanent substitutions.

(c) The Contractor shall provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances necessitating the proposed substitutions, complete resumes for the proposed substitutes, and any additional information requested by the Contracting Officer. Proposed substitutes should have comparable qualifications to those of the persons being replaced. The Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor within 15 calendar days after receipt of all required information of the decision on substitutions. The contract will be modified to reflect any approved changes of key personnel.

Key personnel designated by the contractor shall have the ability to communicate in English.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses

(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is union or non-union.

Union Identifiers

An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" denotes that the union classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that classification. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2011. The first four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and the four-digit number, 0198, that follows indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable , i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2011, following these characters is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate/collective bargaining agreement which would be

July 1, 2011 in the above example.

Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any changes in the collective bargaining agreements governing the rate.

Non-Union Identifiers

Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived from survey data by computing average rates and are not union rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may include both union and non-union data. Example: SULA2004-007

5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union rates, LA indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued as a General Wage Determination on that date.

Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change until a new survey is conducted.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour

Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the
