Attachment No. 1 - SOW

4.0 DEFINITIONS

4.1 Shapefile - A shapefile is a digital data storage format for storing the location, shape, and attributes of geographic features for mapping purposes commonly used in ArcGIS software.

4.2 Chemical (herbicide) treatments – Application by Commercial Pesticide Operator/Applicator, licensed by State Department of Agriculture (with all applicable Herbicide Category), of BLM-approved herbicides (Enclosure No. 1 Herbicides and Adjuvants) to forbs, grasses or woody plants, as designated by the BLM, using industry standard application equipment.

4.3 PAR - A legally required record of herbicide application that is filled out within 24 hours of treatment. It includes details of the application including the herbicide, rate, quantity was used, target species, dates and times of application, names of applicators, and meteorological data, etc., (See Enclosure No. 4 Pesticide Application Record sample).

4.4 PUP – A BLM acronym that stands for Pesticide Use Proposal that summarizes the details of the herbicide application including targeted species, allowable herbicide rates, sensitive resources, project design features and mitigation measures for proposed projects.

4.5 Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) - A mapping coordinate grid system based upon one of many different mapping projections. The BLM in Eastern Oregon and Washington uses the projected coordinate system UTM, Datum NAD 1983 (Conus), Zone 10 or 11.

The data is displayed in meters easting and northing.

4.6 PI – This is the Project Inspector who is a subject matter expert in charge of formulating the technical requirements, who coordinates and advises the COR on technical matters.

4.7 COR - The Contracting Officer Representative (COR) is responsible for technical administration of the contract and shall assure proper Government surveillance of the contractor’s performance.

5.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

5.1 Timing of Work- Timing of field work shall take into consideration potential target species, elevation, seasonal climate, aspect, and habitat of each project area. The contractor shall treat as many of the target plants at a given location as possible, by timing visits during the stage of plant phenological development that ensures emergence and visibility of the maximum number of plants that might be expected for that year’s treatment. In addition, the contractor shall ensure timing/phenology for treatment as directed by the product labels, to achieve maximum control over the targeted species and minimal non-target damage.

5.2 Access to Project Areas: For this contract, roughly ½ of the projects will have access reasonably close that are passable by trucks needed for mixing and loading herbicide for large scale application projects (less than 3 miles). Other areas will require longer travel/ferry from mix/load operations. Maps with potential routes will be provided to the contractor for travel at the task order level. Some of the roads are improved graveled roads; however, many of the roads will be improved dirt roads or two-track range roads.

BLM will likely only have one staff member available to oversee and monitor the compliance of the spraying projects. The contractor shall make every effort to stage as close to the project area as possible while complying with all applicable federal, state and local regulations and appropriate land use permitting procedures applicable to their operations.

5.3 Pre-Work Meeting – The contractor shall communicate with the Government, as arranged by the PI or COR, prior to commencement of each task order. The pre-work meeting will address any requested last-minute adjustments, questions, concerns, and the . The Government will assess and determine if the contractor is prepared to commence work.

5.4 Communication Systems: The Contractor must provide a communication system so that contractor personnel engaged in the project at different locations can communicate at all times with each other, and so that government Project Inspectors may communicate with the contractor at any time to discuss performance matters. [DOI has adopted a policy that radios must be P25-compliant VHF-FM. Transceiver must provide selection of narrowband analog (12.5kHz) or narrowband digital (12.5kHz) operation on a minimum of 100 channels.]

5.5 Application

5.5.1 The applicator shall use industry standard applications techniques. The applicator shall have the ability to uniformly deliver the designated gallons per acre (as stated in the task order) with a Boom/Nozzle configuration (including controlled pressure and nozzle orientation) that will provide a controlled droplet application.

5.5.2 The contractor shall apply herbicide as stated in the approved BLM PUP, minimizing over-spray and under-spray within designated boundaries. The contractor shall adjust application techniques to account for topographical features. Much of the BLM has rugged, roadless terrain, broken by box canyons, narrow valleys, steep treacherous slopes, rocky rims and juniper woodlands. The contractor shall control the spray pattern and safely and evenly apply over uneven terrain, contouring at consistent application heights and speed. The contractor shall be able to perform these services on fine scale detailed projects for sensitive projects close to water or other sensitive areas.

5.5.3 The entire surface within the designated boundaries of the job area shall receive uniform coverage with the herbicide mixture except for such areas as may be excluded by the Government, including streams and other water bodies. Areas excluded from spraying operations within the work site boundaries shall not be included in the acreage computed for payment. Spray strips shall be distributed in such a manner as to secure a high uniformity of herbicide distribution.

5.5.4 The Government may require, at any time, that the contractor perform a demonstration that the application equipment is calibrated and will evenly distribute the designated spray at rates specified in the PUP. Checks may be achieved through a pattern test, or use of water sensitive cards at the project site. Where skips or obvious insufficient applications resulting in sublethal target species death, i.e. striping, are documented to be >0.5% of the project area as determined from flight data or during on the ground inspections by the COR/PI, retreatment of the insufficiently treated area will be required at no extra cost (for labor and herbicides) to the Government.

5.5.5 The Government reserves the right to withhold up to 10% of the task order application price until inspection and acceptance of the efficacy of treatment can be performed, which may occur several months after tasking has been completed. This will be specified at the task order level. In this case, the period of performance of the task order would encompass the period of the herbicide treatment plus the time until inspection of the treatment efficacy can be performed, usually several months later. The contractor shall invoice for 90% of the task order value upon completion of tasking. Upon inspection and acceptance of the treatment efficacy at the completion of the period of performance of the task order, the contractor shall then submit the final invoice for the remaining unpaid balance.

5.5.6 Accuracy in application is of the utmost importance. Requirements will likely include fine scale detailed work close to water or other sensitive areas.

Contractors shall perform applications with precision in accordance with the coordinates and mapping information provided by the Government. Additional buffer strips may be designated by the Government, as a means to protect other sensitive areas.

5.5.7 The contractor shall provide data in a standard format (NAD 83 for zone 10 or 11 North in UTM or latitudes/longitudes in decimal degrees.)

5.5.8 The Government will provide unit boundaries to the contractor in the form of shapefiles created in ArcGIS.

5.5.9 Daily PARs, referenced in Section 9 Deliverables, shall be accompanied by detailed maps (both paper and electronic) showing track lines, including daily printouts and files from the previous day. Electronic files of treatments shall be compatible with ArcGIS. A required template for the PAR will be provided by the requisite BLM field office upon award of each task order. A sample of a PAR is provided for reference only as Enclosure No. 4 to this SOW.

5.5.10 The contractor shall use a GPS system with an automatic shut off system.

5.6 Notification Requirements

5.6.1 The contractor shall provide the Government with at least 48 hours notice before commencement of tasking on a task order.

5.6.2 The contractor shall immediately notify the PI and or COR of any spills, leaks, incidents, or accidents as quickly as possible, no later than within 24 hours of occurrence. The contractor will follow appropriate Hazmat response protocols.
