STATEMENT OF WORK

1. SCOPE OF CONTRACT

The Forest Service is seeking engineering services for construction work associated with repairing roads in and below the burn scar of the White River and Irving Peak Wildfire on the Wenatchee River Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Chelan County, Washington.

Work on this contract is anticipated to include, but is not limited to, developing and implementing an erosion control plan, a traffic control plan, dewatering plans, removing and disposing of existing culverts, installing new culverts, constructing armored rolling dips and drainage dips, road grading, roadside brushing, ditch cleaning, culvert and catch basin cleaning, shallow hot-mix asphalt patching and deep hot-mix asphalt patching with biaxial geogrid reinforcement and geo-composite edge drains, construction of an underdrain system, and seeding and mulching disturbed areas after construction is complete.

The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, and incidental supplies necessary to perform all work described in accordance with drawings and specifications of the contract.

The contractor shall assume all risk, loss, damage, or expense arising out of prosecution of the work, except as otherwise provided in the contract.

2. PROJECT LOCATION

The project sites are located on the Wenatchee River Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.

To access the project area from Leavenworth, Washington, head west on US Highway 2 for approximately 15.1 miles then run north (right) on Washington State Highway 207. Follow State Highway 207 for approximately 4.4 miles then continue straight on to Lake Wenatchee Highway.

After approximately 5.3 miles, Lake Wenatchee Highway turns into White River Road. Follow White River Road for 0.8 miles then continue straight on Little Wenatchee Road. Follow Little Wenatchee Road for approximately 2.15 miles where it ends at the Forest Service Gate and then the road from the gate on becomes Little Wenatchee River Road (Forest Road 6500). The east end of the project starts at the gate where Forest Road 6500 begins at around 1,960 ft in elevation in Township 27 N Range 16 E Section 16 at 47°50'17.2"N 120°50'51.9"W (47.838103, -120.847754).

The 6500 road is seasonally closed during the winter months with the roads typically snow free in late May/early June. There are no known utilities within the areas, but utility line-locates are still required to verify none exist for geotechnical subsurface investigations and the final design.

3. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The contract incorporates the USDOT, Federal Highway Administration’s Standard Specifications for Construction of Roads and Bridges on Federal Highway Projects (FP-24). The standard specifications (FP-24) are available online at: http://flh.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/specs/

4. EXISTING CONDITIONS

The Contractor shall verify all existing dimensions and conditions before proceeding with all work.

All dimensions shall be verified and/or determined in the field. Protect all improvements including existing culverts and roadway from damage during construction.

5. PROJECT CONTROL

It is anticipated that this contract will be awarded during spring or summer of 2026. Onsite work can begin as soon as weather permits (sites typically accessible around June 1 through October 31) but the government anticipates that field work will not begin until summer of 2027 based on lead time for materials procurement. All work must be completed no later than October 31, 2029.

Contractor is responsible for protecting workers from injury (refer to FAR 52.236-13, Accident Prevention, for full text).

The Contractor shall confine all operations (including storage of materials) on Government premises to areas authorized or approved by the Contracting Officer. The Government is not responsible for loss of or damage to materials or supplies stored on-site during performance of this contract.

The Forest Service is administering and is intending to award a construction contract for the upgrade of two culvert crossings to bridges along the Little Wenatchee Road/FS 6500 at Ninemile Creek (~MP 6.674) and Lodgepole Creek (~MP 8.63). Both crossings are within the project area. Work utilizing either crossing must be coordinated with the other contractor through the COR. The 6500 Road and several spur roads that originate from the 6500 road beyond the Ninemile Crossing have no alternate egress options. Utilization of the 6500 road at the lodgepole crossing is currently not safe and should not be considered for use during the contract until the Lodgepole Bridge Construction is complete. There is a detour around the Lodgepole Crossing on the 6500 Road via the 6504 road. Schedule activities to assure no delays or interference with the operations of the Ninemile Creek Bridge and Lodgepole Creek Bridge contract. Contractor may need to adjust work accordingly so road repairs and maintenance are done with the least amount of impact to the bridge crossing sites (ideally work on these segments of roads while the bridge contractor is either not working at all or while the bridge contractor are working on the Lodgepole Crossing site. Contractor should anticipate some level of minor delays for importing materials while the bridges construction contract is in progress or plan on some level of mitigation, such as onsite stockpiling of material.

20. HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS SAFETY PLAN

The following conditions have been identified as inherently hazardous to a degree that failure to take the proper precautions could lead to serious injury or loss of life. This listing shall not be construed as all inclusive. The contractor shall provide a written job-specific hazard analysis and safety plan that addresses and conforms to the requirements of 29 CFR 1910 and 1926 and the clause entitled Accident Prevention (FAR 52.236-13) included herein. Appropriate actions shall be taken by the contractor to implement this plan during performance and to take any and all other necessary steps to mitigate the dangers from hazards.

Tree felling Temporary excavation / deep trenching / slope stability Fall hazard from work heights exceeding six feet Traffic control on high-volume and/or high-speed and/or limited visibility roads Heavy equipment operation Tree climbing and/or tower climbing Fire hazards Hazardous materials handling Electrical hazard Hydraulic and/or pneumatic and/or other high pressure hazards Mechanical hazards such as pulleys, springs etc.

Flooding Debris Flows

21. ROAD MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

In order to fulfill the obligation to protect existing facilities, material source, and disposal site access roads from seasonal weather damage, to safeguard soil and water quality, and to repair damage commensurate with its use, the contractor shall perform road maintenance work on these roads in accordance with the following:

1. While performing ordinary road maintenance work, the contractor shall avoid permanent fouling of gravel or bituminous surfaces through covering them with earth or debris from side ditches, slides, or other sources. The contractor shall avoid blading surface material off the surface of roads.

2. While performing all phases of construction, the contractor shall minimize damage to ditches, slopes and road surfaces. Where damage does occur, the contractor shall restore the road to its prior condition within a reasonable period of time.

3. The contractor shall remove all excess materials and debris from asphalt roadways and trails immediately after backfilling has been completed. This may require brooming and hosing down with water.

4. On completion and acceptance of work requirements, including acceptance of road maintenance by the Forest Service, contractor road maintenance responsibility shall terminate.

22. SPECIAL EQUIPMENT CLEANING REQUIREMENTS

All earth moving equipment (loaders, excavators, dump trucks, etc.) moved to the job site shall be cleaned of weeds and their seeds prior to each entrance onto the National Forest lands. Cleaning shall consist of the removal of all dirt, grease, debris, and materials that may harbor noxious weeds and their seeds. This may require the use of a pressure hose.

Equipment shall be made available for visual inspection by the Forest Service prior to entering Forest Service lands. The contractor shall advise of a proposed date for mobilization. Inspections will take place at mutually agreeable in route locations in advance of entry onto National Forest lands.

Special care shall be taken to assure removal of noxious weeds and their seeds:

The contractor shall take special care under this contract to prevent contamination of water at the work sites with any petroleum residues from mechanical equipment operations. This shall include daily inspection and cleaning as appropriate.

23. MOISTURE SENSTIVE SOILS

Contractors are cautioned that the roadway structure is designed so that the completed road will support highway legal loads during a limited use season. Construction equipment often subjects the uncompleted roadway structure to loadings it is not designed to support. This is especially critical during periods of excessive moisture and will require careful selection and scheduling to permit efficient operation. Any damage resulting from operations which renders the material unsuitable for use or results in potential siltation of streams will be corrected by the contractor at its expense.
