ROAD CONSTRUCTION AHEAD 2

LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION

(a) Do not remove, deface, injure, or destroy trees, shrubs, lawn, or natural features not designated for treatment. Confine operations to within the clearing limits or other areas designated in the contract documents, and prevent the depositing of rocks, excavated materials, stumps, or other debris outside of these limits. Retrieve material which falls outside of these limits and dispose of, or incorporate in the work as directed by the Contracting Officer.

Preserve the scenic and natural environment along this construction project.

(b) Do not allow objectionable material to enter any stream, river, lake, or other body of water. Retrieve material which falls in these areas and dispose of, or incorporate in the work as directed by the Contracting Officer, and repair damage to vegetation or structures outside the project limits as directed by the Contracting Officer.

(c) Do not operate equipment or otherwise disturb the natural vegetation and soil beyond the construction limits.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The contractor is required to have a spill plan. The plan will contain a description of the specific hazardous materials, procedures, and spill containment that will be used, including inventory, storage, and handling.

All vehicles carrying fuel will have specific equipment and materials needed to contain or

TRAILHEAD RECONSTRUCTION PAGE 17 OF 46

clean up any incidental spills at the project site.

All pumps and generators used in or near streams will have appropriate spill containment structures and/or absorbent pads in place during use.

When storage facilities for oil or oil products are on site, appropriate preventive measures shall be taken to insure that any spill of such oil or oil products does not enter any stream or any other body of water. If a spill of petroleum product should occur in water, immediately notify the Contracting Officer and appropriate state agencies.

Service all equipment only in the areas approved by the Contracting Officer. If the total oil or oil products storage exceeds 1320 gallons or if any single container exceeds a capacity of 660 gallons, prepare a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan. Meet all applicable EPA requirements (40 CFR 112) including certification by a registered professional engineer.

Contractor shall ensure that all personnel involved in handling and packaging the hazardous waste are trained for the level of expertise required for the proper performance of the task and, in particular, in the areas of chemical incompatibility, general first aid procedures, and spills. Provide handling and personal protective equipment appropriate to ensure safe handling of the hazardous waste according to 29 CFR 1910.120). Notify the Forest Service of all hazardous material that may be brought onto the National Forest.

The Contractor is solely responsible for all spills or leaks that occur during the performance of this contract. The contractor must clean up spills or leaks in a manner that complies with Federal, state, and local laws and regulations and to the satisfaction of the CO. Any spills resulting in a detectable sheen on water shall be reported to the EPA National Response Center (1-800-424-8802). Any spills over 25 gallons will be reported to the Idaho Division of Environmental Quality and cleanup will be initiated within 24 hours of the spill. When available provide copies of all spill related clean up and closure documentation and correspondence from regulatory agencies.

Equipment Fuel/Oil Leakage.

All equipment used for instream work will be cleaned of external oil, grease, dirt and mud; and leaks repaired; prior to arriving at the project site. All equipment will be inspected by the Contracting Officer’s Representative before unloading at site. Any leaks or accumulations of grease will be corrected before entering streams or areas that drain directly to streams or wetlands.

Equipment used for in-stream or riparian work (including chainsaws and other hand power tools) will be fueled and serviced in an area approved by the CO. When not in use, vehicles will be stored in the designated staging area. The staging area should be in an area that will not deliver fuel, oil, etc. to streams.

Oil-absorbing floating booms, and other equipment such as pads and absorbent “peanuts” appropriate for the size of the stream, will be available on-site during all phases of construction. For small streams with few pools or slack water, booms may not be effective. Use pads and straw bales to anchor booms if necessary. Booms will be placed in a location that facilitates an immediate response to potential petroleum leakage.

NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL

In order to prevent the potential spread of noxious weeds into work areas, Contractor shall be required to use weed-free equipment.

The following is considered proof of weed-free equipment:

The Contractor will be required to clean all construction equipment prior to entry on to national forest land. This cleaning shall remove all dirt and plant parts and material that could carry noxious weed seeds into the work area. Only clean construction equipment inspected by the Forest Service will be allowed to operate within the work area. All subsequent move-ins of construction equipment shall be treated in the same manner as initial move-in.

Straw/Hay Bales shall be certified as “Weed Free”. The source field shall be inspected and certified by the county extension agent from the county that the straw/hay is grown. Each shipment onto the forest shall be accompanied by a certification tag stating that it is weed free. The contractor shall furnish the forest service with a statement of certification.

FIRE CONTROL (FS 236-1)

(a) Contractor's Responsibility for Contractor-Caused Fires. The Contractor, whether or not directed by the Forest Service, shall immediately extinguish, without expense to the Government, all fires on or in the vicinity of the project which are caused by Contractor's employees, whether set directly or indirectly as a result of Contractor operations. The Contractor may be held liable for all damages and costs of additional labor, subsistence, equipment, supplies, and transportation resulting from fires set or caused by the Contractor's employees or resulting from contract operations.

(b) Other Fires. For the purpose of fighting forest fires on or in the vicinity of the project which are not caused by the Contractor or his employees, the Contractor when requested by the Contracting Officer shall place his employees and equipment temporarily at the disposal of the Forest Service. Payment for such services will be made by the Government at not less than the current rate for fire-fighting services established by the Forest Service in the area concerned.

Any employees and equipment furnished will be relieved from fire fighting as soon as the Forest Service finds that it is practicable to employ other labor and equipment adequate for the protection of the area. An equitable adjustment in contract time may be made for this period.

(c) Fire Protection Requirements - Fire Plan. At all times during closed fire season period, as specified by State law, the Contractor shall comply with each of the following provisions to the extent applicable to his operation under the contract.

52.204-7 Central Contractor Registration. (APR 2008)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

"Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database" means the primary Government repository for Contractor information required for the conduct of business with the Government.

"Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number" means the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities.

"Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number" means the DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional CCR records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at Subpart 32.11) for the same concern.

"Registered in the CCR database" means that--

(1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, into the CCR database; and

(2) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and has marked the record "Active". The Contractor will be required to provide consent for TIN validation to the Government as a part of the CCR registration process.

(b)(1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the CCR database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

(2) The offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation "DUNS" or "DUNS +4" followed by the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror's name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The DUNS number will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the CCR database.

(c) If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to

TRAILHEAD RECONSTRUCTION PAGE 24 OF 46

obtain one.

(1) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number--

(i) Via the Internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform or if the offeror does not have internet access, it may call Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 if located within the United States; or

(ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office. The offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a U.S.

Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(2) The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:

(i) Company legal business.

(ii) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized.

(iii) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and Zip Code.

(iv) Company Mailing Address, City, State and Zip Code (if separate from physical).

(v) Company Telephone Number.

(vi) Date the company was started.

(vii) Number of employees at your location.

(viii) Chief executive officer/key manager.

(ix) Line of business (industry).

(x) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship within your entity).

(d) If the Offeror does not become registered in the CCR database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror.

(e) Processing time, which normally takes 48 hours, should be taken into consideration when registering. Offerors who are not registered should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of this solicitation.

(f) The Contractor is responsible 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.

(g)(1)(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

TRAILHEAD RECONSTRUCTION PAGE 25 OF 46

change-of-name agreements in 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 of the FAR; 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 (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (g)(1)(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.

(2) 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 FAR 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.

(h) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at http://www.ccr.gov or by calling 1-888-227-2423, or 269-961-5757.
