About this file
This document is a Quality Assurance Plan and Contractor Performance Checklist for dust abatement services, specifically detailing performance standards and evaluation criteria across two primary work categories: Distribution Equipment and Application.
For Distribution Equipment, contractors must provide and operate equipment capable of applying material uniformly across variable surface widths at controlled rates between 0.1 to 0.5 gallons per square yard with even pressure. Equipment must include an accurate volume measuring device or calibrated tank, a thermometer for measuring tank contents, and hose and nozzle attachments for inaccessible areas. The acceptable quality level allows variation from specified application rates not to exceed 10 percent for individual loads and 2 percent for the entire project, with all spreading and hauling equipment required to comply with State and Federal requirements including Gross Vehicle Weight limits. Visual verification serves as the inspection method, with penalties including required rework at contractor expense, government compensation withholding, and poor performance ratings, while satisfactory performance yields a satisfactory rating.
For Application work, contractors must apply materials at rates specified by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), with liquid products expressed in gallons per square yard. Liquid products exceeding 0.35 gallons per square yard must be applied in two applications, while dry products may use a single application. Quality standards require protection of adjacent structures and trees from spattering and material discharge only in approved areas, not into ditches or streams. The acceptable quality level stipulates no compensation for material exceeding specified rates, while underapplication results in the COR directing completion at specified locations and rates. Inspection methods include visual verification, progress monitoring, field samples from distribution vehicles, and laboratory quality assurance testing by the Forest Service. Penalties for deficiencies include required rework at contractor expense, poor performance ratings, and potential contract termination for repeated deficiencies, while satisfactory performance results in full compensation for applied products and a satisfactory performance rating.

Level Method of Inspection Penalties Incentives
• Application rates will be as specified by the
COR.
• For liquid products, the rate is expressed as gal./sq.yd.
• Accidental spillage or area of excess materials that are traffic hazard will be covered with road surface material at the Contractor’s expense.
• Liquid products shall be placed in 2 applications if total application rate is greater than
0.35 gal. / SY.
Dry products may be placed in a single application
• If application rate used by the Contractor is greater than that specified, the additional material needed to complete coverage will be at the Contractor’s expense.
• Will be based on concentration shown on the manufacturer’s certificate and test results.
• Adjacent structures and trees shall be protected from spattering and marring.
• Material shall only be discharged in approved areas and not be allowed to flow into ditches and streams.
• If the Contractor exceeds the specified rate no compensation will be made for the additional quantity.
• If the Contractor’s application is below the specified rate or total quantity per Sub-item, the remaining amount will be applied at locations and rate directed by the COR.
• Visual verification.
• Will inspect completed application as the work progresses.
• Field samples taken from the distributor or hauling vehicles.
• Field sample prior to application to make sure the products meets minimum concentrations specified.
• Laboratory Quality Assurance Test done by the Forest Service.
• Contractor may be required to re-work, at their expense, the unacceptable portions of work.
• Contractor may receive poor performance rating.
• Contract may be terminated with repeated deficiencies.
• Contractor would receive a satisfactory performance rating
• Full Compensation for the applied product.
