Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) – means the key Government-developed surveillance process document and is applied to Performance-Based Service Contracting (PBSC). The QASP is used for managing Contractor performance assessment by ensuring that systematic quality assurance methods validate that Contractor quality control efforts are timely, effective, and are delivering the results specified in the contract or task order. The QASP directly corresponds to the performance objectives and standards (i.e., quality, quantity, timeliness) specified in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). It provides specific details on how the Government will survey, observe, test, sample, evaluate, and document Contractor performance results to determine if the Contractor has met the required standards for each objective in the PWS.

5.1 Basic Services: The Contractor shall provide services for trapping and removal of Ungulates, specifically Wild Boar and Fallow Deer, from USAG Italy. All tasks shall be carried out in compliance with Host Nation, Tuscany, and local requirements, specifically:

- Directive 92/43/EEC - Directive “2009/147/EC - EU Implementing Decision No.

C(2021) 18;

For only Wild Boar:

- Provisions issued by the Italian Authority (ASL of Pisa) due to the measures to contain the spread of the African Swine Fever Virus (ASF) in Italy.

The activities will consist of the placement of traps, foraging and maintenance of traps, recovery of captured animals, transport of animals to the barn (Wild Boar) and the corral (Deer) on the installation in order to allow their preservation and full health, and follow-on transportation of the live animals off the installation. Once transported off the installation the animals become contractor property outside of the purview of USAG Italy. The Contractor is responsible for strictly respecting the Italian Laws and Norms that regulate the health, wellness, care and handling, and shipping of captured animals.

5.2. Tasks:

Tasks consist of the following:

5.2.1 Maintain and repair ungulate corrals and traps in the PASA, feed captured animals until removal, bait traps, perform regular checks. In order to ensure the efficiency of the traps, the contractor shall perform the following activities:

• Repair any fencing required for traps to function correctly

• Remove all vegetation surrounding each trap and along the path leading to that in order to avoiding any disturb to animal during the capturing and removing phase

• Put in place warning signs stating "catches on going”

• Shield the trap with shade cloth or vegetation, door positioning and activation of the tripping device

• Maintain in perfect condition the tripping device and replace traps damaged parts if required.

Foddering: Foddering purpose is to attract ungulates to the traps and it shall use corn or other vegetables palatable to the animals. This is normally conducted 2 to 3 weeks prior to trapping.

The employment of different foddering is subject to Park Authority approval. For this operation, Version – September 2024 Page 20 of 37 personnel and transportation means of the company will be used in sufficient number to complete the foraging in a single day.

Catching Deer and Wild Boar: The activation of the trap trigger mechanism, or of the door shutter mechanism, will be carried out only after having found an adequate level of confidence of the animals within the traps themselves. The trap activation will be performed mostly in the hours preceding the sunset, period in which an increase in the activity of the animals is recorded and the presence of man is reduced within the ASA. In the first two hours following the sunset, or at most three, the operators will have the task of visiting all the sites of pre-armed catching to check for the presence of animals trapped. The traps that will be found empty will be left armed until the next morning, when the same operators will proceed to the new verification.

5.2.2 Remove of captured animals from DMC and transport to off-site location. Perform all required veterinary/health testing of captured animals in compliance with Host Nation, Tuscany, and ASL Pisa Veterinary requirements.

Transfer Animals to Storage Sites: Within 24 hours of capturing, the animal shall be transported from the traps to the approved housing sites on the installation, i.e., corral for the Fallow Deer and barn for the Wild Boar. The contractor will approach the traps taken with caution, trying to cause the least possible stress to the trapped animals. The wild boar will be made to enter crates and subsequently loaded on suitable means for transporting animals and transported to relaying places. The movement of animals shall be carried out in accordance with the competent veterinary police regulations. The animal transportation and permanence in the housing places shall respect the Italian Laws and Norms that regulate their health, wellness and care in order to ensure the minimum stress to ungulates. The contractor is responsible for supplying the ungulates daily with food and water and periodically cleaning of the housing sites through all the period they stay on the installation.

Handling Animals: From the storage sites, the live animals will be loaded on suitable means of transport to be transferred outside the territory of the Base. The departure of the means of transport loaded with animals from the Base to the places of destination will take place after authorization of the staff of the AUSL 5 of Pisa and, in any case, in compliance with the current regulation of the Veterinary police, behind the self-declaration of the company entrusted.

Efforts shall be made to capture 200 to 600 ungulates annually with higher per-head compensation rates for higher annual capture numbers. Wild Boar and Fallow Deer will have separate compensation rates. The upper limit on captured ungulates may change in Option Years based on the previous year’s Annual Census.

5.2.3 For the base year of this task, monthly payment shall be determined based on the total number of animals captured in the current contract year as follows:

Fallow Deer

5.2.3.1. For deer 1 to 100 the cost will be the offer unit cost, adequate to cover basic fees/costs, in euro per deer.

5.2.3.2. For deer 101 to 200 the cost will be the offer unit cost from 5.2.2.1 multiplied by 1.33, in euro per deer.

Version – September 2024 Page 21 of 37

5.2.3.3. For deer 201 to 300 the cost will be the offer unit cost from 5.2.2.1 multiplied by 1.5, in euro per deer.

5.2.3.4. For deer 301 to 600 the cost will be the offer unit cost from 5.2.2.1 multiplied by 1.67, in euro per deer.

Wild Boar

5.2.3.5. For boar 1 to 5 the cost will be the offer unit cost, adequate to cover basic fees/costs, in euro per boar.

5.2.3.6. For boar 6 to 10 the cost will be the offer unit cost from 5.2.2.6 multiplied by 1.5, in euro per boar.

5.2.3.7. For boar 11 to 16 the cost will be the offer unit cost from 5.2.2.6 multiplied by 1.6, in euro per boar.

5.2.3.8. For boar 16 to 30 the cost will be the offer unit cost from 5.2.2.6 multiplied by 1.8, in euro per boar.

The objective is to capture up to 600 deer and 30 boar during the contract base year. For the option years the cost per deer and boar will be the same as the base year but the number of animals to be captured will be proportional to the remaining quantity of each based on the annual census (task 5.2.4).

Note: Fallow Deer cannot be trapped between 15 March and 01 July each year due to breeding season.

5.2.4 Base Year activity. Rebuild one (1) heavily damaged corral and repair one (1) other corral during contract Base Year. See attachment 7.
