Description

All Zones

Zones:

Zone 1 -Alpine Ranger District [01] Zone 2 - Black Mesa Ranger District [02] Zone 3 - Clifton Ranger District [03] Zone 4 - Lakeside Ranger District [07] Zone 5 –Springerville Ranger District [06]

NOTES:

Task Orders: Individual Task Orders will be issued for various project areas. Performance specifications may vary by task order. All acreages will be measured using Trimble’s “Geographical Position System” (GPS) and are determined on a horizontal plane within plus or minus Five Percent (5%). This 5% variation in acreage shall not require a decrease in total funds allocated to a Task Order, nor shall any additional funding be added to cover an increase in acreage for the same variation. The minimum guarantee (See Ordering Clauses) for each year shall be $500 for each awarded contract under the MAS.

Complexity Level Descriptions:

-Low – Least amount of work involved. Examples: Cut average 1-250 trees per acre (TPA) and treat created slash. Existing tree stocking across the unit is predominantly open and/or easy for work to progress quickly. Simple leave-tree selection criteria, like cutting all trees under a maximum diameter, or tree selection is already painted by the USFS. Most trees to cut and treat are in a size class easiest for the contractor to handle.

-Medium – Moderate amount of work involved. Examples: Cut average 251-1000 TPA and treat created slash. Existing tree stocking across the unit is dense enough that work would progress at a slower pace than the “Low” complexity level. Moderate leave-tree selection criteria, like bole spacing combined with tree species preferences and/or tree health considerations. Most trees to cut and treat are in a size class somewhat more difficult than the “Low” level for the contractor to handle.

-High – Most amount of work involved. Examples: Cut average 1001+ TPA and treat created slash. Existing tree stocking across the unit is sufficiently dense that work would progress at an abnormally slow pace. Complex leave-tree selection criteria, like bole spacing combined with tree species preferences combined with tree health and/or tree form criteria. Most trees to cut and treat are in a size class most difficult for the contractor to handle.

Complexity Note: Government estimated complexity levels will be specified for each Task Order in the Project Level Information form. Contractors’ proposed plan of operation may affect the complexity level for a Task Order. Adjustments or changes will be made to determine the level acceptable to the Government.

Best Value Selection for Task Orders: Government will offer/assign/obligate Task Orders in accordance with the Best Value ranking that will be determined by the Contracting Officer after the Evaluation and Award process.

Right of First Refusal: Awarded Contractors may refuse a Task Order offered/assigned by the Government with the understanding that the minimum guarantee is considered met with the first Task Order offered by the Government each Fiscal Year. Once a Task Order is accepted and obligated, Awarded Contractor is required to complete the work of the Task Order or be subject to default as defined in FAR 52.249-8 Default (Fixed-Price Supply and Service) APR 1984.
