The annual precipitation at the project sites varies from less than 12 inches per year including snow fall in the valley to several feet of snow in the mountains. Winter snow storms and freezing temperatures will occur during the winter months that result in a winter project shutdown at higher elevations. Icy conditions on local roads and highways can occur during the fall, winter and spring. Highway curves in shaded areas will remain covered with ice or frost for weeks.

c. Safety, Emergency Communications and Evacuation. Contractor is responsible for the safety of the

Contractor’s employees including Subcontractors employees, Government employees associated with the project, and any visitors to the site both Government and private.

Unless the entire project area is already infected with noxious weeds, the contractor shall ensure that prior to moving on to another part of the project area all off-road equipment, which last operated in areas known by Forest

Service to be infected with noxious weeds, is free of soil, seeds, vegetative matter, or other debris that could contain or hold seeds. Contractor shall certify in writing that off-road equipment is free of noxious weeds prior to

REINFORCED SOIL SLOPE - BAS-4S81-8.3 Individual Project Task Order Page 6 of 13 each start-up of operations and for subsequent moves of equipment to other project areas. Measures taken to ensure that off-road equipment is free of noxious weeds will be identified. “Off-road equipment” includes all equipment operating off of paved roadways. A Current list of noxious weeds of concern to Forest Service is available at the Forest Supervisor’s office. Contractor shall clean off-road equipment prior to moving between project areas with known infestations with noxious weeds and other project areas, if any, which are free of such weeds. Project area maps show areas known by Forest Service that contain specific noxious weeds species of concern. Contractor shall employ whatever cleaning methods are necessary to ensure that off-road equipment is free of noxious weeds. Equipment shall be considered free of soil, seeds, and other such debris when a visual inspection does not disclose such material. Disassembly of equipment components or specialized inspection tools is not required. Contractor shall notify Forest Service at least 24 hours prior to beginning of work in area designated as a noxious weed area, unless otherwise agreed. Notification shall include the location of the equipment’s most recent operations. If the prior location of the off-road equipment cannot be identified, forest service may assume that it was infested with noxious weed seeds. Upon request of Forest Service, Contractor must arrange for forest Service to inspect each piece of off-road equipment prior to it being placed into service.

If Contractor desires to clean off-road equipment on national forest land, such as at the end of a project or prior to moving to a new unit that is free from noxious weeds, Contractor and Forest Service shall agree on methods of cleaning, locations for the cleaning, and control of off-site impacts, if any. New infestations of noxious weeds, of concern to Forest Service and identified by either Contractor or Forest Service, within the project area or on the haul route, shall be promptly reported to the other party.
