BLUE CREEK FUELS REDUCTION

Overtopped/Suppressed: Trees with crowns entirely below the general level of the crown cover, receiving no direct light either from above or from sides.

PI: Project Inspector. The PI is responsible for checking the Contractor's compliance with the technical specifications, drawings, work schedule, and labor provisions at the site of the work. The PI is the person designated by the CO to perform, as needed, on-the-job Government inspection of work accomplished by the Contractor.

Pruning: The removal, close to the branch collar or flush with the stem, of side branches (live or dead) and multiple leaders from a standing tree.

Project (Treatment) Area: Area designated for treatment of slash, forest fuels, brush, shrubs and excess trees.

Includes construction of firelines, fuel breaks, wildlife corridors, and other required work.

Reserved Trees: Individual species of trees within a treatment unit that the contract or COR designates are reserved from treatment.

Reserved Areas: Certain areas within a treatment unit that the contract or COR designates reserved from treatment.

Slash: Any material which has been severed by the Contractor and/or woody debris created by the Contractor's operation and any dead woody debris and/or old slash lying on the ground created by previous operations (i.e.

logging slash) or natural processes (i.e. wind thrown trees, snapped off limbs).

Slashing: The severing of all brush, shrubs and excess trees.

Slashing Area: Area designated for treating of trees not designated for retention, shrubs, and brush according to the contract specifications.

Snag: A standing dead (or living hardwood or coniferous tree that has 10 percent or less live crown) over 8" DBH.

All cull trees 10” DBH or larger shall be considered as snags. These trees shall not be severed unless considered a safety hazard by the Contractor.

Stob: Sharp pointed limbs of living or dead vegetation.

Supervisor: See Crew Supervisor.

Treatment (Project) Area: Area designated for treatment of slash, forest fuels, brush, shrubs and excess trees.

Includes construction of firelines, fuel breaks, wildlife corridors, and other required work.

7.0 NOTIFICATION OF CONTRACTOR’S PRESENCE ON A WORK SITE

A. The contractor shall notify the Project Inspector when the contractor and/or the contractor’s crew will be on the work site.

B. The contractor shall notify the PI when the contractor intends to cease operations on a work site for a period of five (5) days or more. The contractor shall also notify the PI when the contractor will resume operations on a work site.

8.0 INSPECTION

8.1 SLASHING, HAND PILING, AND PILE COVERING

UNIT #1-Pre-Commerical Thinning A. The Government will make periodic inspections as a basis for acceptance and payment and recommendations for adjustments in work quality while work is in progress. The Contractor is encouraged to observe inspections while they are being made.

B. Inspections will be made on a series of 1/10th acre plots (37.2 foot radius) located at random intervals across each work unit. Sufficient plots will be taken to obtain at least a ten (10) percent sample of the work unit.

C. Each plot will be evaluated for compliance with contract specifications as stated in Section 5.1 that pertains to pre-commercial thinning. On each plot, the following information will be recorded and have a value of 1 point per item:

1. The number of trees that should have been thinned on the plot.

2. The number of thinned trees on the plot.

3. The number of unsatisfactory treatments due to the following:

a. Improper selection of trees to thin.

b. Improper spacing of thinned trees.

c. Improper stump height.

d. Leave trees damaged during the thinning operations. Primary concern is bark damage over ½ the circumference of the leave tree.

e. Number of trees with unacceptable pruning heights (minimum or maximum), semi-detached branches and bole cuts.

D. Inspections will be made on the piles constructed throughout the unit. Piles will be evaluated by the COR or PI to be in compliance with the specifications in this contract (Sections B.5.1.1.C). A pile that does not comply with specification is equivalent to 1 percentage point that goes into determination of work quality.

UNIT #6- Slashing, Hand Piling, and Pile Covering A. Inspections will be made on a series of 1/20th acre plots (26.3 foot radius) located randomly across the work unit. A sufficient number of plots will be taken to obtain at least ten (10) percent sample of the work unit. For example, on a 100 acre unit the contractor should expect a minimum of 20 plots randomly distributed throughout the unit.

B. Inspections will be made on the piles constructed throughout the unit. Piles will be evaluated by the COR or PI to be in compliance with the specifications in this contract (Sections B.5.1.2.C). A pile that does not comply with specification is equivalent to 1 percentage point that goes into determination of work quality.

C. The following information will be recorded for each plot inspected:

a. Total number of trees cut and/or removed from the plot.

b. Number of unacceptable cuttings, either missed entirely, severed, but with live limbs, or stumps greater than specifications.

c. Number of trees with unacceptable pruning heights (minimum or maximum), semi-detached branches and bole cuts.

8.2 ACCEPTANCE

A. Satisfactory Work Quality: A minimum work quality standard of 90 percent is required for inventory plot acceptance. A minimum work quality standard of 90% is required. Work quality of 95% or better shall be paid as 100%. Work quality between 90% and 95% shall be paid at the actual percentage of work quality.

B. Unsatisfactory Work Quality: If the plot quality percentage falls below 90% the COR will immediately notify the contractor in writing and direct them to improve the quality of work.

If the quality of future plots is not raised to or above the minimum acceptable level within 5 consecutive work days after written notification, the Contracting Officer may issue a suspend work order.

C. Determination of Work Quality Percentage:

Work quality percentages are derived from data developed from inspection plots. The final work quality percentage times the bid price determines the pay. A work quality percentage of 95 percent or higher will result in full payment. If high stumps or uncut surplus trees are the primary reason for unsatisfactory work, the Contractor shall rework areas designed by the Government until satisfactory work is obtained.

Example:

Number of trees that should be found = 80 Number of errors (unsevered surplus trees, etc.) = 8 8 divided by 80 x 100 = 10% 100% minus 10% = 90% 90% x bid price per acre = Pay Rate
