DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

Pole Creek Unit #15-1, 2, 3, Slashing and Girdling

1.0 STATEMENT OF WORK

1. Introduction: The Owyhee Field Office of the Boise District, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is acquiring vegetation management services to slash and girdle juniper trees by hand.

2. Background: This treatment is part of the Pole Creek Project which will treat over a ten year period approximately 5,500-7,700 acres with slashing, girdling and broadcast burns. In combination with a grazing decision implementing changes to livestock management the two decisions will further improve upland and riparian conditions, moving the area much closer to reference conditions impaired due to juniper encroachment.

3. Purpose: Pole Creek #15-1, 15-2, 15-3. The objective of this treatment is to control encroaching western juniper into sagebrush-steppe by slashing and girdling western juniper trees within the project boundary. Slashed and girdled trees will then be jackpot burned during cool and moist conditions as not to burn surrounding vegetation.

4. Scope of Work.

Pole Creek #15-1, 1,390 Acres. Slashing, Girdling. Contractor will be required to either slash or girdle western juniper trees within the project boundary. The Contractor will furnish all tools, labor, supervision, equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, training and incidentals necessary to accomplish the task in accordance with the specifications provided.

Pole Creek #15-2, 1,180 Acres. Slashing, Girdling. Contractor will be required to either slash or girdle western juniper trees within the project boundary. The Contractor will furnish all tools, labor, supervision, equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, training and incidentals necessary to accomplish the task in accordance with the specifications provided.

Pole Creek #15-3, 1,293 Acres. Slashing, Girdling. Contractor will be required to either slash or girdle western juniper trees within the project boundary. The Contractor will furnish all tools, labor, supervision, equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, training and incidentals necessary to accomplish the task in accordance with the specifications provided.

5. Location of Treatment Areas:

Pole Creek #15-1, 15-2, 15-3. All units are located in southwest Owyhee County, 36 miles south of Jordan Valley. Oregon. Access is off of the Owyhee Backcountry Byway (Mud Flat Road) and the junction of the Payne Ranch. The ranch provides access to a two track road that leads 6.5 miles to the southwest and then 7 miles to the southeast and into the project site. All three units are located adjacent to each other. Project site location is considered remote. Please refer to attached project map for further detail. (Attachment 1,3,4)

6. Project Boundary Marking: The location and access to the areas are shown on the project maps. The project area is identifiable by flagging, roads, streams and fences as shown on the attached project map.

7. Vehicle Access and Use: 4x4 equipped vehicles are strongly recommended to access the project site. Both access roads into the project site can be considered primitive 2 track roads for at least 3-5 miles. Travel times from maintained roads to the unit can be considered very slow for automobile traffic. Pickups and larger vehicles associated with cutting treatments and as well as support vehicles will be restricted to established roads and trails.

Rubber tire ATVs may travel off-road to access the trees. ATV use may be restricted where needed to protect sensitive plant populations and cultural resources.

Document Title Pole Creek Slashing and Girdling

Undercarriages of all vehicles will be cleaned before entering the treatment areas to avoid spreading noxious weeds.

If roads or any type of access become impassable or subject to damage, because of adverse weather conditions or other natural and/ or social reasons, the COR will relay information to the Contractor, and a Stop Work Order may be implemented by the CO until other access can be obtained.

8. Notification of Cessation or Restart of Work: The Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) at least 3 days before they plan to start operations. Contractor will also notify the COR whenever he intends to cease operations for one or more days and will tell the COR at that time when they plan to resume operations.

9. Personnel/Equipment Requirements: The Contractor must maintain an adequate work force at all times to ensure timely completion of the work, and is responsible for the crew knowing the requirements of the contract. The crew is also responsible for maintaining a safe working environment following OSHA standards. The Contractor must attend the pre-work meeting and provide a written performance plan, including crew size, prior to beginning work.

10. Contractors Representative: One Contractor Representative (foreman) must be designated by the Contractor. A Contractor Representative must be on-site directing work at all times. This person must be fluent in English and will serve as an on the ground contact person for the COR/PI. Failure to maintain a Contractor Representative will result in suspension of work until an acceptable on-the-ground Contractor Representative is provided. A maximum of five (5) days will be allowed to produce a qualified Contractor Representative. Failure to do so within five days may result in the Contracting Officer (CO) issuing a Suspend Work Order. CO and COR must be informed of any changes of Contractor Representative.

11. Camping: Camping on agency-administered lands will only be allowed in approved sites. The Contractor shall maintain all camping areas in an orderly and sanitary manner. All fire regulations and restrictions shall be followed. All garbage and refuse shall be removed from the camp site(s) by the Contractor and disposed of offsite before final payment is made.

12. Detailed Unit Information: The western access route to the unit crosses private land and access will be secured by the BLM prior to the award of this contract if necessary. The unit is considered very remote with no cellular phone service on site, 36 miles to the closest services (gas/motel). Travel time between Jordan Valley and project site is estimated at 1.5 hours depending on vehicles and speeds.

The contractor shall:

(a) Any person using a portable power saw on range or forest land in the state shall have the following immediately available for the prevention and suppression of fire within fifty (50) feet of any power saw when in operation.

(b) A fully charged operable fire extinguisher of at least 8 oz. minimum capability. Such fire extinguisher shall be filled and in effective operating condition and shall at all times be immediately available to the operator when the saw is being fueled or the motor of the saw is running.

INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

Inspection: The Government COR and/or PI will make periodic visual inspections. Inspection will consist of documentation of the treated areas. Documentation will be based upon compliance with the specifications listed above.

COR and/or PI will discuss all deviations from specifications with Crew Representative as soon as possible when deviations from specifications are found. If disagreements occur between the COR and the Contractor on inspection, an agreed upon plot inspection will be initiated.

Acceptance: Acceptance will be based upon 95% visual compliance with the specifications listed above.
