DIAR 1452.215-71 USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PROPOSAL INFORMATION -- DEPARTMENT OF

THE INTERIOR (APR 1984)

(a) Definitions. For the purposes of this provision and the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), the following terms shall have the meaning set forth below:

(1) "Trade Secret" means an unpatented, secret, commercially valuable plan, appliance, formula, or process, which is used for making, preparing, compounding, treating or processing articles or materials which are trade commodities.

(2) "Confidential commercial or financial information" means any business information (other than trade secrets) which is exempt from the mandatory disclosure requirement of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552. Exemptions from mandatory disclosure which may be applicable to business information contained in proposals include exemption (4), which covers "commercial and financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential," and exemption (9), which covers "geological and geophysical information, including maps, concerning wells."

(b) If the offeror, or its subcontractor(s), believes that the proposal contains trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, (5 U.S.C. 552), the cover page of each copy of the proposal shall be marked with the following legend:

"The information specifically identified on pages of this proposal constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the offeror believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The offeror requests that this information not be disclosed to the public, except as may be required by law. The offeror also requests that this information not be used in whole or part by the government for any purpose other than to evaluate the proposal, except that if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with the submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information to the extent provided in the contract."

(c) The offeror shall also specifically identify trade secret information and confidential commercial and financial information on the pages of the proposal on which it appears and shall mark each such page with the following legend:

"This page contains trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the offeror believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act and which is subject to the legend contained on the cover page of this proposal."

(d) Information in a proposal identified by an offeror as trade secret information or confidential commercial and financial information shall be used by the Government only for the purpose of evaluating the proposal, except that (i) if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information as provided in the contract, and (ii) if the same information is obtained from another source without restriction it may be used without restriction.

(e) If a request under the Freedom of Information Act seeks access to information in a proposal identified as trade secret information or confidential commercial and financial information, full consideration will be given to the offeror's view that the information constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information. The offeror will also be promptly notified of the request and given an opportunity to provide additional evidence and argument in support of its position, unless administratively unfeasible to do so. If it is determined that information claimed by the offeror to be trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, the offeror will be notified of this determination prior to disclosure of the information.

(f) The Government assumes no liability for the disclosure or use of information contained in a proposal if not marked in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this provision. If a request under the Freedom of Information Act is made for information in a proposal not marked in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this provision, the offeror concerned shall be promptly notified of the request and given an opportunity to provide its position to the Government. However, failure of an offeror to mark information contained in a proposal as trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information will be treated by the Government as evidence that the information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, absent a showing that the failure to mark was due to unusual or extenuating circumstances, such as a showing that the offeror had intended to mark, but that markings were omitted from the offeror's proposal due to clerical error.

LOWER YELLOWSTONE BYPASS CANAL RIPRAP

Statement of Work / Specifications

INTRODUCTION

The Bureau of Reclamation, Missouri Basin Region requires riprap and bedding material for repairs to the Lower Yellowstone Bypass Canal near Glendive, MT. Material will be stockpiled during the period of performance in 2026-2027. Because crews will not be onsite during this phase of this project, the vendor will be required to dress the stockpiles with a loader or comparable piece of equipment, and the delivery route as needed if impassable conditions develop.

LOCATION

Project is located approximately 16 miles northeast of Glendive, MT. Coordinates to the stockpile location are: 47.261864, -104.540269.

RIPRAP MATERIAL

GENERAL

1.01 REFERENCE STANDARDS

A. ASTM International (ASTM)

1. ASTM C88 Test method of soundness of aggregates

2. ASTM C535 Test method for resistance to degradation

3. ASTM C97 Specific gravity and absorption of fine aggregate

1.02 DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING

This is a multi-year funded project. Reclamation will perform construction at a future date.

However, we require the riprap and bedding to be purchased and stockpiled in 2026-2027. Due to this constraint, we have very limited support staff or equipment to assist in the material delivery and offloading.

A. Stockpile locations near the dikes are shown on the figure above.

1. 25,000 Tons of riprap material delivered to stockpile site A.

B. Material may be delivered in double side dumps or any lesser configuration of truck and trailer.

The vendor will be required to provide a bucket loader (or comparable equipment) and operator to buck the delivery stockpiles of riprap into reasonably consolidated piles accessible to heavy equipment. The intent of this requirement is to maximize space in the limited area available for stockpiles. This service is incidental to the delivery of the supply and is the means to offload and deliver the material. We expect the loader to be utilized in the most cost effective manner possible. The required time onsite for both the loader and operator, as well as the size and fuel requirements of the loader shall be evaluated by the offeror and quoted as lump sum on a CLIN separate from the per ton price of the riprap.

C. Handle, load, haul, stockpile materials to minimize breakdown.

D. Provide digital pdf copies of load tickets indicating date, truck ID, and weight to COR via email at: jhahn@usbr.gov. Load tickets must be submitted with invoice.

E. Delivery may commence upon award of contract. The Period of Performance will go through November 30, 2027.

F. Vendor may invoice biweekly.

1.03 SUBMITTALS

A. Testing results shall include Specific Gravity, Sulfate Soundness, and Soundness in

Freezing and Thawing. Please submit lab results to Jason Hahn at jhahn@usbr.gov for approval 3-days prior to delivery.

1. Gradation

a. Certification that riprap meets specified gradations from an independent lab.

2. Bulk Specific Gravity

a. Bulk specific gravity shall be computed in accordance with ASTM C 127 except that the total sample shall weigh 5000 grams +2 percent and individual particles shall weigh approximately 300 grams each. Stone protection material shall be tested in a saturated surface-dry (SSD) condition. The computed bulk specific gravity so determined shall not be less than 2.65.

3. Soundness in Magnesium Sulfate

Soundness in magnesium sulfate shall be determined according to ASTM C 88 with test modifications as listed below. The combined loss at 5 cycles shall be not more than 8 percent. The test report shall show the percentages of loss calculated as described herein and the number of pieces affected, classified as to number disintegrating, splitting, crumbling, cracking, flaking, etc.

a. Sample Preparation

The sample shall be prepared by breaking it into fragments reasonably uniform in size and shape and weighing approximately 100 grams each. The test sample shall weigh 5000 grams +/- 2 percent. The sample shall be thoroughly washed and dried previous to test as described for coarse aggregate.

b. Sample Immersion and Temperature

The sample immersed in the solution shall be maintained at a temperature of 80 degrees F +/- 2 degrees F for the immersion period.

c. Quantitative Examination

At the end of the fifth cycle, the percentage loss shall be determined by the three following methods. The test report shall show the loss computed by each method;

however, only the combined loss shall be used for acceptance or rejection of the material.

d. Loss By Breaking

An individual piece which has broken or split into three or more fragments shall be considered to have failed the test, provided each of the three such fragments is at least 10 percent of the original piece by weight. The total original weight of all pieces failing the test, expressed as percentage of the total original weight of the sample, shall be considered as percentage loss by breaking.

e. Loss by Crumbling and Flaking

After the loss by breaking has been determined, the pieces that have not failed in that determination shall be screened on the 1/2-inch sieve and the material retained on the sieve shall be weighed for purposes required to determine combined losses. The pieces which have failed by breaking shall then be added to the material remaining on the 1/2-inch sieve and screened. The difference between the total original weight of the sample and the total weight of the material retained on the 12.5 mm sieve expressed as percentage of the total original weight, shall be considered as percentage loss by crumbling and flaking.

f. Combined Loss

The difference between the total original weight of the sample and the weight of the material retained on the 1/2-inch sieve, after screening the pieces which did not fail by breaking, expressed as percentage of the total original weight, shall be considered as percentage combined loss.

4. Soundness in Freezing and Thawing

The test for freezing and thawing shall consist of AASHTO T 103, Ledge Rock

Method, Procedure C, modified as indicated below. The loss at 12 cycles shall not exceed 5.0 percent. The test report shall describe the type of failure of the discrete particles.

a. Temperature

The temperature of the surrounding medium during freezing shall be maintained in the range of -20 to -10 degrees F.

b. Freeze/Thaw Cycle

The length of a freezing and thawing cycle shall be sufficient to totally freeze and totally thaw each piece of the same during each cycle. The laboratory shall specifically determine for each sample that the cycle used is sufficient to accomplish total freezing and total thawing and shall report this in the test report. However, in no case shall the cycle consist of less than 2-1/2 hours of freezing followed by 1 hour of thawing. The sample shall be held in the frozen condition whenever necessary to break the cycle (overnight, weekends, etc.).

5. Immersion

a. Procedure C, Partial Immersion shall be used, except that soaking prior to testing shall be in accordance with Procedure A.
