GENERAL INFORMATION

THIS IS A PERFORMANCE-BASED SERVICE CONTRACT

SCOPE

This is a performance based, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract. The Government anticipates awarding multiple contracts. The Government intends on awarding to one contractor per line item for the base period and all option periods if exercised.

The scope of this proposed IDIQ Vegetation Management Contract includes but is not limited to the following typical types of work:

1. Provide all equipment, supplies, materials and labor and related items necessary to perform the following work that is normally done mostly with heavy equipment:

Including ripping, shearing, chopping, mowing, mulching, scarification, wildlife openings, firelines, pond construction, dozer operation, mechanical dam & terrace maintenance, and mechanical NNIS eradication.

These activities would occur primarily in forested and open areas that are accessible by heavy equipment and large trucks. Work could be for specified amounts (i.e.: acres of site preparation or miles of fireline) or equipment rental based on specified equipment rental by the hour used (i.e. dozer, etc.).

2. Provide all equipment, permits, licenses, materials and labor and related items necessary to perform the following work that is normally done mostly with non-heavy equipment and more intensive labor to get the work done:

Including tree planting, herbicide application, manual treatments including site preparation, precommercial thinning, release, midstory removal, and hazard tree felling and specialized felling, overstory development and trail maintenance cutting and clearing.

These activities would occur primarily within the forested areas, cut tree areas, openings, and on trails.

A pre-proposal conference is scheduled. See page 92 for details.

CONTRACT TIME: The amount of time allowed to commence and complete the work shall be stated in each task order.

CONTRACT PERIODS:

Year 1 (BASE YEAR PERIOD) - from Date of Award through September 30, 2013 Year 2 (FIRST OPTION YEAR PERIOD) - from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014 Year 3 (SECOND OPTION YEAR PERIOD) – from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015 Year 4 (THIRD OPTION YEAR PERIOD) – from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016 Year 5 (FOURTH OPTION YEAR PERIOD) – from October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017

(t) Central Contractor Registration (CCR).

(1) Unless exempted by an addendum to this contract, the Contractor is responsible during performance and through final payment of any contract 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.

(2)(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 FAR 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; 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 (t)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (t)(2)(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.

(3) 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 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.

(4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via CCR accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov or by calling 1-888-227-2423 or 269-961-5757.
