9. PROJECT BACKGROUND:

The SF Coquille Water Quality and Riparian Restoration Project seeks to enhance riparian function and water quality throughout the Coquille River watershed through control of non-native vegetation, exclusion of livestock from sensitive areas, facilitating restoration of native streamside vegetation to support coho salmon recovery. To achieve this, the Coos Soil and Water Conservation District (Coos SWCD) and the landowners’ families are collaborating with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB), the United States Forest Service (USFS) and the Coquille Indian Tribe (CIT) to implement this work using a combination of state and federal grant funds.

10. SCOPE OF WORK:

Work shall include furnishing all labor, equipment, materials, transportation, supervision, and incidentals necessary to implement livestock exclusion fencing on a privately owned agricultural property within the SF Coquille River watershed. Restoration implementation includes ~3000ft of livestock exclusion fencing installation. The Contractor(s) shall furnish all materials and equipment necessary for installation of the livestock exclusion fencing. All work shall be completed in accordance with the project maps, design drawings, and specifications provided in Exhibit B. The Contractor shall coordinate closely with Coos SWCD staff and participating landowners to schedule work, confirm site access, and ensure restoration activities are implemented in a manner that minimizes disturbance to streams, wetlands, pastureland, and existing infrastructure.

Subcontracting is allowed where appropriate; however, the Contractor shall be responsible for all subcontractor coordination, performance, and compliance with applicable project requirements. All proposed subcontractors shall be identified in the bid documents.

“Brown” Site:

• Mow/Site Prep- Remove invasive blackberry/underbrush from fence line ~1.5 acres of riparian area.

• Install ~3,000 feet of livestock exclusion fencing.

11. EQUIPMENT CHOICE:

All Heavy equipment shall be commensurate with the project and operated in a manner that minimizes adverse effects to soils, vegetation, wetlands, and streambanks (e.g., minimally sized equipment, low-pressure tracks/tires, and minimal hard-turn paths for tracked vehicles). Contractors should use equipment appropriate for agricultural pasture and riparian restoration conditions. All equipment shall be cleaned and free from foreign materials and seed to prevent the spread of invasive species before being brought to the project site. Equipment shall be inspected for petroleum accumulations and leaks prior to site entry. If equipment is found to be leaking during project work, all activity shall immediately cease until mechanical issues are addressed. Adjustments to work for weather conditions may be necessary to minimizing adverse soil effects of equipment. Equipment operation shall be limited to dry soil conditions whenever practicable to minimize soil compaction and rutting.

12. SITE ACCESSES:

Minimize the number of temporary access roads and travel paths to lessen soil disturbance and compaction and impacts to vegetation.

13. ROAD CLOSURES:

Public roadways shall remain open throughout the project; delays shall be kept to a minimum and not exceed 30 minutes at any one time. The Contractor shall be responsible for coordinating road use with other crews and traffic in the area and shall ensure adequate signage is used when needed including CB contact channel.

14. FIRE RESTRICTIONS:

The Contractor shall know and adhere to all fire rules and restrictions that apply to the project area, during implementation of the project. Contractor shall provide adequate tools and equipment to meet fire restriction requirements. Contractor shall be in default of contract should project be delayed due to lack of required fire equipment preventing work that could have otherwise been completed.

15. SPILL PLAN:

The Contractor shall have and be ready to deploy a spill kit in response to any leaks/spills of petroleum products or other contaminants. A spill plan and spill kits must be provided by the Contractor.

16. CULTURAL RESOURCES COMPLIANCE:

This project is subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and cultural resource requirements associated with funding from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB). No ground-disturbing activities may begin until all required cultural resource review and approvals have been completed and written authorization has been provided by Coos Soil and Water Conservation District (Coos SWCD). Any ground-disturbing activities conducted prior to completion of the Section 106 review process are not eligible for reimbursement and may jeopardize project funding. Ground-disturbing activities include, but are not limited to, excavation, augering, trenching, fence post installation, heavy equipment operation, grading, vegetation grubbing, or any activity that disturbs soil.

Prior to beginning ground-disturbing work:

(i) A cultural resource inventory of the Area of Potential Effect (APE) must be completed by a qualified archaeological consultant. This is under an agreement to be completed by the Coquille Indian Tribe’s Cultural Resource department.

(ii) The inventory report must be reviewed and accepted by the OWEB Cultural Resources Specialist.

(iii) Coos SWCD must receive a written Notice to Proceed from OWEB authorizing ground-disturbing activities.

The Contractor acknowledges that Coos SWCD cannot reimburse invoices for ground-disturbing work completed prior to receiving required cultural resource clearance from OWEB and SHPO, where applicable.

17. INADVERTENT DISCOVERY PLAN:

An Inadvertent Discovery Plan will be provided for directions in case of uncovering cultural resources during ground disturbing activities.

18. W.E.A. TRAINING:

The Worker Environmental Awareness Training (WEAT) is a free online course required for all on-site personnel including grantee staff and contractors who will supervise or perform ground-disturbing activities (e.g., project managers, machine operators, reforestation workers, field technicians, loggers, and laborers). The training is a 22-minute video that describes the types of cultural resources that may be encountered during project implementation and the steps to take if this type of material is found.

Note: All hired contractors and associated staff will be required to complete the Worker Environmental Awareness Training (WEAT) training before beginning the project. Certificate(s) will need to be shared with the Coos Soil and Water Conservation District Project Manager.

19. STAGING:

Fueling and cleaning and inspection for petroleum products and invasive weeds A. All equipment used for instream work will be cleaned for petroleum accumulations, dirt, plant material (to prevent the spread of noxious weeds), and leaks repaired prior to entering the project area. Such equipment includes large machinery, stationary power equipment (e.g., generators, canes), and diesel or gas-powered equipment with tanks larger than five gallons.

B. Store and fuel equipment within designated staging areas.

C. Inspect daily for fluid leaks before leaving the vehicle staging area for operation.

D. Thoroughly clean equipment before operation below ordinary high water or within 50 feet of any natural water body or areas that drain directly to streams or wetlands and as often as necessary during operation to remain grease free.

Note: Equipment (e.g. excavators) that will perform In-Water work will be required to have biodegradable hydraulic fluid.

20. EXAMINATION OF SITE, BID DOCUMENTS, PERMITS, ETC.:

Figure 7. The livestock exclusion fencing that will be constructed for this project will follow NRCS specifications. This diagram shows the NRCS specifications for barbed wire fencing that will be constructed for this project. This fencing is used due to its specific construction enabling easier wildlife crossing and to ensure the safety of livestock and wildlife.
