CONTRACT DEFINITIONS

Acceptable established tree: An existing conifer of seedling, sapling or mature size that is of good form, color, free of damage and has 50% or greater crown ratio. All visible natural regeneration 6 inches and greater will be considered an acceptable established tree.

Access point: The point identified for access to planting areas.

Clean water and buckets: Water and buckets used for tree dipping that are free of contaminants that could injure the trees. Water is initially suitable for human consumption.

Clearing: Removal of surface debris around the planting hole to avoid debris from falling into the hole. Debris includes duff, litter, rotten or charred wood, moss, loose rock, ashes, snow, and surface frost.

Container plug: Seedling grown in a receptacle containing soil and nutrients. When the container seedlings are extracted from the receptacle, the soil stays in-tact around the roots. The soil and roots together are referred to as the container plug; the soil is the container media.

Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR): The COR is the on-site contract administrator for the Contracting

Officer (CO). The duties and responsibilities of a COR are defined in the letter of designation issued by the

Contracting Officer.

“Danger tree." OSHA reference 1910.266 ( C ): Standing tree that presents a hazard to employees due to conditions such as, but not limited to, deterioration or physical damage to the root system, trunk, stem, or limbs and the direction and lean of the tree.

Delivery point: The point identified for delivery of trees and other supplies. If there are multiple points for delivery of various items, it will be so noted.

Drip line: The line extending vertically from the exterior edge of a tree’s live crown to the ground.

Foreign material (in planting hole): Large rocks, sticks, litter, snow, or similar material not part of the surrounding soil substrate that is in the planting hole after the tree is planted.

Ground line of tree before planting: The original ground line of the tree before planting is the soil surface level in the nursery beds or in the container receptacle. It is between the cotyledon scar and the root collar.

Heat Tarp: A 9’ x 15” tarp with a white upper surface and of silvery metallic reflective underside material designed to prevent solar heating of stored receipted trees. This tarp is designed to be used with the metallic side down over the receipted tree seedlings and the white side exposed to the air. The space blanket will be equal to the Terra Tech

“Heat Shield” model.

Inbox temperature: The temperature near the center of the box of trees measured with a probe thermometer or similar instrument. This is the temperature of the seedlings while in the shipping box.

Lateral roots: The horizontal roots extending from the main vertical (tap) root.

Legacy Plant: Technique where by planting spot selection is based upon favorable microsites. Selection will be based upon existing dead, standing, taller stumps, and less mobile downed trees. Utilization of downed material will be used based upon directionality and the ability to provide shade. Logs that lay east/west or northwest/southeast provide the most protection from solar insolation. The downed log must also have a minimum of a 4 inch diameter at the point where the seedling has been planted. Only one seedling will be placed along an unbroken section of downed material. If a tree has been broken off, the stump height must be at least 3 feet of height above ground level on the uphill side of the tree. Standing dead trees will be a minimum of 6 inches DBH.

Microsite: A plantable spot favorable to seedling survival and growth. Examples of favorable microsites are stumps, down logs, large slash, snags, and standing cull trees that provide protection from sun, wind, animals, and other damaging agents.

Modified 18’ x 18’ spacing: A combination of legacy and spacing planting techniques. The emphasis is to use existing dead standing greater than 6 inches DBH. The downed logs must also have a minimum of a 4 inch diameter at the point where the seedling has been planted. Only one seedling will be placed along an unbroken section of downed material. In areas where no legacy trees exist, 18’ x 18’ spacing will utilized. Fringe areas containing some legacy trees and logged sections will generally use 18’ x 18’ spacing. The use of this technique will occur where units contain both logged and unlogged sections and emphasize favorable microsites to ensure seedling survival.

Moist soil (in the planting hole): The soil in the planting hole is considered “moist” if it is similar in moisture to the undisturbed soil next to the planting hole at similar depth.

Movable material: Natural material which is movable by the planter. This includes items such as pieces of wood that can be used to provide shade or animal browse protection for a tree. Rock will not be considered movable shade for the purposes of this contract.

Normal planting window: Normal planting window is the estimated number of workdays each season that work can be performed.

Period of Performance (also Performance Period or Contract Time): All calendar days allowed for completion of contract work. Includes all days of the week including weekends and holidays.

Plantable spot: An area where a tree can be planted in accordance with all specifications in the contract. In the

Planting Inspection method, a plantable spot is also any area where the Contractor has planted a tree.

Planting Inspection: The standard planting inspection procedure as described in Forest Service Handbook, R1

Supplement 2409.17 (effective 4/29/2002), 2.82 Part 2 (Section J). It includes the description of planting violations that result in unsatisfactorily planted trees, plot sizes, calculations for determining planting quality based on trees planted, and similar information.

Protection: Natural and artificial materials that act as an obstacle protecting the tree from animal or other injurious agents. The protection material and effort required by the planter to protect the tree varies depending on the site conditions of each unit.

Quality Assurance: The actions taken by the Government to assess the Contractor’s results to determine that they meet contract requirements. The methods for quality assurance are described in the Quality Assurance Surveillance

Plan (QASP).

Quality Control: Those actions taken by a Contractor to control the production of outputs to ensure that they conform to the contract requirements. The methods for inspecting for quality control are described in the

Contractor’s Quality Control Plan (QCP).

Range of Work Season: The range of the work season is the estimated month and day of the earliest beginning and latest ending when contract work could be performed.

Residual tree: Live trees remaining in the unit after the harvest or fire activity.

Root collar: The transition zone between stem and root. In tree seedlings it is identified by the presence of a slight swelling.

Root length: The root length measured from the original ground line to the end of the main vertical or tap root.

Satisfactorily planted tree: A tree seedling that is planted in full accordance with all specifications as set forth herein.

Scalping: The removal of live vegetation including roots to reduce competition from existing vegetation and to expose mineral soil.

Shade: Natural and artificial materials that protect the tree from the sun’s heat and wind. The type of shade material and effort required by the planter to shade the tree varies depending on the site conditions of each unit.

Soil Surface: Where surface debris is present, the soil surface is that point where leaves, needles, twigs, wood, and other surface litter have decomposed to the point that the original litter material cannot be recognized with the naked eye.

Spaced Legacy: Planting a seedling in the best legacy microsite possible (see Legacy Planting definition above for more clarification) while using a set spacing to find the next planting location. For example; using 18’ x 18’ spacing, a seedling would be planted in the best microsite possible, but the next tree would be 18 feet away in another legacy microsite. The distance requirements for spacing still apply, a seedling may be planted as close as 9 feet and as far away as 27 feet.

Stationary material: Natural material used to shade or protect the tree that is not moveable by the planter. Natural material includes items such as dead standing trees, down logs, dead brush, or terrain features used to provide the required protection for a tree. Stumps and rocks may be used only when there is NO other shade available.

Stationary material generally offers the most shade and protection for seedlings from sun and animal trampling.

Top height: The length from the original ground line to the top of the terminal leader; does not include needles extending above the leader.

Transportable shade: Natural material such as wood debris that can be moved to the planting spot to shade the tree from the sun.

Trees in possession of the Contractor: The time after trees has been issued to the Contractor. During this time, the

Contractor is responsible for all aspects of tree care and accountable for tree quantities.

Underplanting of seedlings: Planting underneath a stand of trees. Planted trees must be placed in a mineral soil area, which may require the clearing of some vegetation or slash with the planting tool. Seedlings will be planted a minimum of 18 inches from the drip line of the overstory stand.

Unplantable spot: An area where a tree cannot be planted satisfactorily and no tree has been planted. An allowance is given in the Planting Inspection for unplantable spots within the plot. (In hoedad planting, a spot is considered unplantable if a suitable spot for planting a tree cannot be found after three attempts of throwing the hoe and if the hole cannot be opened at the spot with five swings or less). Campsites, parking areas and roads are designated as unplantable spots.

Unsatisfactory planted tree: A planted tree which fails to meet one or more of the specifications of a satisfactorily planted tree. Refer to definitions for planting violations described by Planting Inspection in FSH 2409.17, 2.82

Wasted material: Material provided to the Contractor to conduct a task such as installing artificial shade or animal damage control that is lost, dropped, or damaged by the Contractor or which is installed on trees not in accordance with the requirements of the contract. This may include, but is not limited to, installing shade on the wrong species or netting on the wrong tree(s).

Wasted tree: A tree that is lost, damaged, destroyed, or handled contrary to the standards for care of trees. Planted trees that exceed the maximum number of trees in the Planting Inspection plot procedure are also considered wasted trees.

Contract Inspection Method

Planting contracts require intensive inspection. The quality control plan shall be consistent with the following procedures. There are two phases of contract inspection: (1) Inspection while work is in progress observing tree/shrub care, wasting of tree/shrubs, and planting technique while planting is in progress, and

(2) plot inspection where the inspector checks quality of planting using systematically placed plots.

Inspecting for Planting Quality. The primary factor in determining the contractor's payment is the plot inspection. Use the following process and standard inspection form (R-1 FS-2470-9). Variations to this may be done only with the approval of the Contracting Officer. The inspector shall sign the inspection form and initial any changes. All inspectors should fully understand the inspection forms and procedures for completing the inspection.

A. Equipment Suggested.

(1) Clipboard and pencils.

(2) Inspection sheets

(3) Full contract (with exhibits) or knowledge of unit requirements

(4) Fifty-foot logger's tape.

(5) Plot pole or shovel with swivel on handle to attach the tape.

(6) Flagging.

(7) Screwdriver, ice-pick, or garden trowels that aid in below ground inspection.

(8) Tile spade, hog nose spade, planting hoe for hoe planting.

(9) Slope correction table.

(10) Clinometer or Abney.

B. Plot Design.

(1) Plot Size. Use either plot size specified by contract; if not specified use 1/50 th

-acre plots for planting up to 10- by 10-foot spacing. At wider spacings, use the 1/50 th

-acre plot to ensure there are adequate tree/shrubs per plot for statistical reliability.

Plot radius will vary depending on slope. After determining slope percent and adjusting for slope using the slope correction table, determine the plot radii to provide the necessary plot size. Use this radii for the full plot. Do not compensate by changing radius or raising and lowering the tape when going around the plot.

Such adjustments have already been compensated for.

(2) Plot Placement. Establish plot location in a systematic manner, distributed uniformly over entire acreage. A grid system is recommended.

(3) Quantity of Plots. The minimum sampling intensity is specified in the contract.

C. Inspection within the Plot. Mark the plot so that it can be relocated.. Inspect each plot in accordance with contract. Utilize the following inspection procedure in the described order for accurate inspection results.

(1) Locate and mark plot center on the ground. A pin flag with plot number or similar locator is recommended for the center point.

Above Ground Inspection

(2) Inspect and record the aboveground condition of each tree/shrub planted. Working in a clockwise direction from true north, locate, examine, and record the condition of planted tree/shrubs in spaces under column 2 of the inspection form. Use codes listed below. A poorly planted tree/shrub may have more than one violation, however, only one code may be listed. Identify the most severe.

- Satisfactory tree/shrub above ground.

S - Spacing violation. A tree/shrub that has been planted closer than one-half of the spacing allowance to another acceptable tree/shrub is a violation unless otherwise stated in the contract. For example, if the spacing is 10 feet by 10 feet and there is a 50% variance to select the best planting spot, and a planted tree/shrub is closer than 5 feet to another planted tree/shrub, one tree/shrub is in violation for spacing. If one of the tree/shrubs is improperly planted due to another reason, charge the spacing violation to the improperly planted tree/shrub and check the remaining good tree/shrub as properly planted.

P - Planting spot violation. Tree/shrub planted in debris, loose soil, duff, ashes, or similar material.

X - Shade protection violation. Shade and seedling protection is not consistent with the contract clause specified for the unit.

D - Planting depth violation. Tree/shrubs are planted too deep or shallow.

A - Stem position violation (erect tree/shrub). The stem should be oriented between vertical and 90 degrees with the slope plane. Improper angle may result from improper hole opening with hoes. If the tree/shrub looks erect above ground but slanted below ground, then a belowground violation instead should be cited.

F - Firmness violation. Tree/shrubs should be tamped as firmly as soil conditions allow. Tree/shrubs should not pull easily from soil. The inspector may gently tug on the stem. If tree/shrub comes up to expose roots (below the root collar) , then the tree/shrub was not firmed up and is in violation. This test must be used with caution in very light or sandy soils.

C - Scalp or clearing violation. Scalp or cleared area is too small or too shallow.

W - Wrong (incorrect) species. Species planted in area of unit where it is not supposed to be

T - Cull tree/shrubs. Cull tree/shrub is planted. Use when the contract specifies that the contractor shall not plant tree/shrubs that do not meet specific size ranges or tree/shrub qualiyt.

H – Auxilary hole violation. Additional hole or auxiliary hole is not filled in or collapsed. .

(3) Determine average number of planting spots from Table 1 and record results in column 3 of the inspection form.

(4) Determine number unplantable spots by identifying spots void of planted tree/shrubs that are unplantable due to ground conditions or acceptable estabished natural regeneration. Recognizing average number of planting spots on the plot, scan plot for areas void of natural and planted tree/shrubs. Look for voids the planters missed. Then check to see if it is a non-plantable spot. Record in column 4.

(a) When a tree/shrub has been planted, the contractor, by default, has determined it to be a plantable spot. In terms of the inspection, the spot with a planted tree/shrub is a plantable spot no matter what the inspector finds after the fact.

(b) An unplantable spot as defined by the contract is an area within the specified spacing limits in which it is not possible to plant a tree/shrub according to specifications, and no tree/shrub has been planted. For hoe planting, a plot is considered unplantable if the inspector cannot find a suitable spot in three attempts within spacing requirements and if the hole cannot be opened at the spot with five swings or less. Auger planting requires three attempts to find the spot that will be scalped or cleared, and then three attempts to open the hole in the spot with the auger, first attempt being made in the middle of the scalp.

One unplantable spot is allowed for each single unplantable area equal in size to the average specified spacing. For example, if a single unsatisfactory area of 64 square feet exists on an 8- by 8-feet spacing, one unplantable spot will be recognized. If half of a 1/50 th

- plot is unplantable, then 435.6 square feet (half of

871.2) is unplantable. For 9- by 9-feet spacing, five spots would be credited as unplantable.

(5) Determine number of planting spots by subtracting column 4 from average number of planting spots (column 3). Record in column 5 of inspection form.

(6) Determine maximum number of allowable tree/shrubs from Table 2, and record in column 6 of

6 from those planted (column 7). If more than 0, record in column 8.

(9) Record number of planted tree/shrubs meeting aboveground specifications from column 2 only up to maximum listed in column 6 of the inspection form.

Below Ground Inspection

(10) Determine minimum number of tree/shrubs to be inspected below ground utilizing Table 3 based on number of tree/shrubs that are satisfactory above ground. Record in column 10 of the inspection form.

To avoid bias, dig tree/shrubs nearest plot center first and progress outward. Do not dig any tree/shrubs that were unsatisfactory in the above ground inspection. Correctly replant sampled tree/shrubs immediately.

Use moist mineral soil to pack roots.

*Note this is a minimum. The inspectore may dig all satisfactory tree/shrubs on plot.

(11) Inspect and record the below-ground condition of each planted tree/shrub in spaces under column

2 of inspection form using appropriate codes listed below. Record the number of tree/shrubs meeting belowground specification in column 11.

- Satisfactory Tree/shrub Below Ground.

R - Root Configuration Violation. Root systems must not be twisted, jammed in one plane, or curved in the shape of the letters U, J, or L. Individual lateral roots may be slightly bent like the letters J or U but the primary vertical root system cannot be distorted. Container plug must not be jammed from the top

(accordion effect) or the side (flattened).

To inspect for this violation, dig a rectangular shaped hole on one side of the tree/shrub. Start the hole far enough away from the tree/shrub stem (at least 10 inches) so that roots are not disturbed in the process of inserting the spade. This is best done with a tool like a tile spade. Once the primary hole is dug, probe toward the root system with a pointed instrument such as a screwdriver, ice pick, or similar tool to explore the seedling roots for orientation.

M - Foreign Material Violation. Holes must not contain large rocks, sticks, litter, cones, or other foreign debris. Inspect the same as that for root configuration. In hoe planting, if rocks, roots, and pieces of wood are present in soil prior to opening the hole, they are not considered foreign material to the hole.

F - Firmness Violation. Firmness, as determined from below ground, is done while probing the root system as described under root configuration. Soil should be nearly as firm as the undisturbed surrounding soil. There should be no air pockets where the soil is not firm. Firmness may be a problem in the bottom of auger holes if planters have not firmed soil progressively upward.

L - Altered Root Length Violation. If the dug tree/shrub has an obviously shortened root system, consider it as an improperly planted tree/shrub below ground. The contract shall state a minimum root length; tree/shrubs with substandard roots should not be planted and considered a violation if they are planted.

Fresh root cuts can often be distinguished from roots cut at the nursery or during tree/shrub preparation.

Living inner tissue of roots cut in advance of planting should be brown at the cut. The brown color may extend up the root under the bark for a short distance. Freshly cut roots will be white under the bark unless roots are dead when cut. Root shortening violations can also be detected during inspection while work is in progress.

O - Planting Hole Orientation Violation. This violation is seldom observed in absence of aboveground stem angle or root configuration violations. Occasionally, tree/shrubs with small root systems can be propped up following slit planting. Roots may not be distorted and angle looks okay from above ground, but hole is not properly opened. Examples would be a V-shaped hole or a hole not vertical with slope plane.

(12) After all plots have been taken and recorded for the pay item, calculate the planting quality by the following formula:

Planting Quality Percent =

No. of satisfactory No. of satisfactory planted tree/shrubs above ground tree/shrubs below ground

(column 9) X (column 11) X 100= Quality %

Actual No. of plantable No. of tree/shrubs dug spots on which tree/shrubs (column 10) should have been planted
