Statement of Work

Section C - Description/Specifications/Statement of Work – Mapping

*Mobilization for Optional Items - The optional mobilization line item will only be exercised if the contractor must de-mobilize prior to additional optional items are awarded.

LS – Lump Sum Additional Terms:

a) Quoters must submit prices for all Items in the Schedule of Items above.

b) Disclosure of the Magnitude of Construction Projects:

(F) Between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00

c) Mobilization does not include on-site construction activities including the movement of personnel, materials, or equipment within the project site.

d) Payment for bond premiums in accordance with (IAW) Federal Acquisition Regulation ((FAR) 48 CFR Chapter 1) Clause 52.232-5 Payments under Fixed-Price Construction Contracts, shall not be in addition to the contract price. Include bond payments under Mobilization.

e) Payment will be made only for those Items listed on the Schedule of Items above.

SCOPE:

This project consists of two parts: 1) the removal and disposal of old, damaged fence and subsequent construction of new fence – approximately 30 miles of 3 wire fence and 44 miles of 4 wire fence. 2) The maintenance of damaged fence back to functional condition – approximately 6 miles of 3 wire fence and 9 miles of 4 wire fence. The fence line right-of-way (ROW) corridor (four feet of either side of fence lines – eight feet total) needs to be cleared by the contractor before fence construction begins. Standing dead trees will need to be felled to reduce risk to fence line. Work consists of falling all standing dead 6” DBH and less for distance of 20’ from centerline of fence each side. Standing dead larger then 6” DBH will be identified by government and paid per each. Fence material will be provided by the contractor. The fence will be built to Forest Service specifications (See Section C.4 Technical Specifications and attachments in Section J). The contractor will be responsible for transporting all the necessary material to the project site. The contractor will be responsible for disposing of all leftover pieces of metal, flagging, other construction debris and associated garbage.

12363N25Q4114 (OCH) NR Crazy Creek Suppression Repair-Fencing Page 10 of 79

PART 3: EXECUTION

3.1 PREPARATION

A. Clearing fence line corridor

• Minimum clearing (fence right of way) width is 4 feet on each side of the fence line. All live woody vegetation greater than 24 inches in height is to be removed, except any live tree 8 inches or greater at DBH will stay. Small diameter brush does not need to be cleared. Large diameter bushes containing stems greater than 1-inch basal diameter shall be cleared. All dead standing trees that are within 4 feet of the fence centerline (fence line corridor) shall be removed. Stumps shall be cut no higher than 12 inches above the ground. Slash created by clearing fence line will be scattered outside of the fence line corridor, and not in any ditch or roadway. Limited additional clearing may also be necessary as the fence is constructed to meet clearing specifications, as approved by the CO. This work is incidental to fence construction.

• Minimum clearing width for dead standing trees less than 6” DBH (4.5 feet above ground) is 20 feet on each side of the fence line right of way. This work is incidental to fence construction.

• Dead standing trees larger then 6” DBH to be cut will be designated by the Forest Service and paid per each.

• Provide minimal disturbance to existing grass and sod. Dispose of all debris by scattering it to either side of the 8 feet clearance zone.

• All dead down trees that are within the fence line corridor shall be dragged away from the fence line ROW. Down trees greater than 20 inches may be left on the outside of the center of the fence line.

B. Existing Fence Removal: In the locations of full fence removal and reconstruction is outlined in this contract, the existing fence and associated materials shall be removed except usable steel t posts or other materials requested by the CO. In the locations of fence maintenance outlined in this contract, any replaced materials shall be removed. Usable t-posts will be removed and stockpiled at a government facility designated by the CO within 20 miles of worksite. Metal wire and staples will be removed and hauled offsite by the contractor and disposed of in accordance with all local, state and federal requirements. Any untreated wood posts or trees used as part of existing fence can be left on site to degrade naturally. Questions related to removal or leaving should be directed to the CO.

3.2 CONSTRUCTION

A. General: Drive steel posts to the minimum depth to secure. Fenceline shall be straight between corners or end-points. Any change in direction shall only occur at a corner as depicted on the supplied drawings.

Obstacles that interfere with construction of a straight fence shall be removed if possible. If not possible to remove an obstacle, additional corners shall be added at each directional change in order to navigate the fence around the obstacle.

B. Steel T-posts: Install new T-posts as described: Wire Fences and Gates. Drive Steel Tposts into ground. If Steel T-post is located in a place where rock prevents driving into the ground due to rock, remove anchor plate and drill holes into rock slightly smaller than the diameter of the Steel T-post at a minimum depth of 18 inches. Drive Steel T-post into the newly drilled hole in rock. Steel T-post shall remain straight and plumb after being driven into ground or into holes drilled into rock. If the Steel T-post is bent or not plumb after

12363N25Q4114 (OCH) NR Crazy Creek Suppression Repair-Fencing Page 11 of 79 installation, the hole shall be re-drilled and a new, straight Steel T-post shall be installed. The Contractor shall incur all costs for new replacement Steel T-posts rendered unusable (bent, re-straightened, misshapen, or recycled) during installation. All Steel Tposts used in all fence segments shall be newly purchased Steel T-posts.

C. Post End Panel (Stress Panel), Brace, Post Corner Panel, Metal Caps, and Assemblies: Unless otherwise specified by the Government, post end panels, braces, and post corner panels shall be constructed utilizing the specifications described on “Stress Panels (Steel Pipe)”, “Corner Panels (Steel Pipe)”, and “Stress Panel Fence & Gate” drawings. Construct post end panels on crests of hills, and at a maximum of 1,320 feet center to center for barbed wire fence segments. Metal Steel Caps shall be installed on the top of every Steel Pipe Post. Wood fence Stays shall be installed in accordance with the drawings. Should a corner be placed in an area with rock, holes of such a size to securely anchor the pipe will be drilled into the rock, and the pipe will be inserted into the drilled hole. Braces will be placed at the top and bottom of all abrupt breaks in slopes.

Braces will also be used to anchor both sides of gates, stream crossings, fence corners and fence end points.

D. Wire: Shall be tightly and uniformly stretched on one side of the fence and securely attached to steel T-posts with standard wire clips. Wire is 12.5 gauge, class 1 wire. Wire shall be tensioned in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. Terminate wire at each post end panel, gate post, post corner panel, or stress panel. Wrap wire around the post at least two times and tie off by wrapping around the incoming wire a minimum of four times. All wire used on the fence shall be new wire.

E. Wire Splicing: Wire will be tightened adequately to set the wire twists and remove factory kinks. It is, however, important to refrain from stretching the wire excessively. Excessive tension will weaken the barbed wire by removing the capacity for it to stretch. Location of stretch points will be determined by topography and the availability of tietrees. Splices in the wire shall be made by wrapping the ends of the wire back around the wire three times, thereby forming an eye at the end of the wire. The other wire end is then placed through the eye and wrapped back around itself at least three times. All wraps shall lie directly adjacent to each other, thus forming neat, tight wraps.

F. Standard wire spacing is measured from the ground up. Three wire fences will be 18”- 28”-42”, four wire fences will be 18”-24”-30”-42”. The top wires will be barbed, and bottom wire will be smooth.

G. Rock Cribs: Circular cribs can be constructed with t-posts with woven wire and must be at least 42” in diameter. Square cribs can be constructed of angle iron or stronger metal materials with woven wire and must be at least 40” x 40.”

H. Rock Jacks: Shall be constructed with metal pipe, with a minimum diameter of 2 inches and brace pieces at least 7 feet long. Rock Jacks used for corners and end panels will be paid under pay item 004b. Rock jacks used for fence line post are at the discretion of the contractor and will be incidental to the fence line construction.

I. Steel Pipe H-braces: Use 7-8 ft post pipe depending on the terrain and slope. Posts need to be in the ground 3 ft with a minimum of 46” above the ground. Spacing between posts in the H-brace shall be 8 ft with a 1 ft variance on either side depending on the soil. Uprights for braces shall be 2 3/8” diameter metal pipe. Cross bracing can be 1 ¼ - 2 3/8” depending on contractor preference. Steel Pipe H-braces shall be welded but can be drilled and clamped if welding cannot be achieved.

J. Gates: Installed according to the drawings, and as recommended by the manufacturer when applicable.

End Panels associated with gates will be paid for under pay items 004a or 004b.

12363N25Q4114 (OCH) NR Crazy Creek Suppression Repair-Fencing Page 12 of 79

K. Trees: As these fences are within fire permitters there will not be many trees to use in fence lines. Live trees may only be used, and only if the fence runs through a live patch. Solid live trees over 8 inches DBH may be used in place of posts, provided they are located not over 2 feet out of line. Tree branches shall be removed completely around the fence, to a height of 8 feet. A scab shall be securely nailed, with 6" helix nails to the tree at three points: top, center, and bottom.

L. Figure-4s: If figure-4s are use they must be constructed with 4-foot t-post or longer.

PART 4: MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

4.1 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT

A. Units: The work described in this section will be measured and paid for by the linear feet as measured along the ground surface next to the completed fence, including the distance across gate openings, post end panels, post corner panels, stress panels, and stress panel drainage crossings. The quantities of post end panels, post corner panels, stress panels, gates, and stress panel drainage crossings will be paid for by the actual number of those items installed each.

4.2 BASIS OF PAYMENT

A. Payment: The basis of payment for this section will be per the schedule of pay items.

H. 1 Fire Control

(a) Contractor's Responsibility for Contractor-Caused Fires. The Contractor, whether or not directed by the Forest Service, shall immediately extinguish, without expense to the Government, all fires on or in the vicinity of the project which are caused by Contractor's employees, whether set directly or indirectly as a result of Contractor operations. The Contractor may be held liable for all damages and costs of additional labor, subsistence, equipment, supplies, and transportation resulting from fires set or caused by the Contractor's employees or resulting from contract operations.

(b) Other Fires. For the purpose of fighting forest fires on or in the vicinity of the project which are not caused by the Contractor or the Contractor’s employees, the Contractor when requested by the Contracting Officer shall place the employees and equipment temporarily at the disposal of the Forest Service. Payment for such services will be made by the Government at not less than the current rate for fire-fighting services established by the Forest Service in the area concerned.

Any employees and equipment furnished will be relieved from firefighting as soon as the Forest Service finds that it is practicable to employ other labor and equipment adequate for the protection of the area.

12363N25Q4114 (OCH) NR Crazy Creek Suppression Repair-Fencing Page 37 of 79

An equitable adjustment in contract time may be made for this period.

(c) Fire Protection Requirements - Fire Plan. At all times during closed fire season period, as specified by State law, the Contractor shall comply with each of the following provisions to the extent applicable to the Contractor’s operation under the contract.

(1) Fire Tools. The Contractor will provide for each employee in the contract area at least one approved hand tool of a type appropriate in the contract area, such as shovel, Pulaski, or ax. Tools required and furnished under (2) and (4) below, shall count toward fulfillment of the above requirement. Where additional tools, beyond those required under (2) and (4) below, are to be provided, the Contractor shall seal such tools in one or more boxes painted red and marked "Tools for Fire Only." All tools required herein shall be kept sharp and in good serviceable condition and maintained at locations to be designated by the Forest Service.

(2) Fire Extinguishers and Tools on Mobile or Stationary Equipment. Each unit of powered equipment used in connection with this contract, including automobiles, trucks, tractors, etc., shall be equipped with serviceable tools and fire extinguishers as follows:

One - fire extinguisher, dry chemical type of not less than 2-1/2 pound capacity with 4 BC or higher rating.

One - shovel, round point #0 lady or equal.

One - ax, 2 pounds or over, 26-inch minimum length, or one Pulaski.

One - water container (at least 1-gallon capacity), not required with stationary equipment.

(3) Spark Arresters. Each internal combustion engine shall be provided with a spark arrester or spark arresting device approved by the Forest Service. Exceptions where the Forest Service may approve mufflers, or other equipment in lieu of spark arresters qualified and rated under Forest Service Standard 5100-1a are: (a) small multi-position engines, such as chain saws, shall meet Society of Automotive Engineers J335b standards; (b) passenger-carrying vehicles and light trucks may have baffle-type mufflers with tail pipe; (c) heavy-duty trucks may have a vertical stack exhaust system and muffler, provided the exhaust stack extends above the cab of the vehicle. An exhaust-driven turbocharger is considered to be a satisfactory spark arrester. Internal combustion engine exhaust systems, arresters, and other devices must be properly installed and maintained.

(4) Smoking. Smoking shall not be permitted within the contract area except on surfaced or dirt roads, at landings, within closed vehicles, in camps, or at other posted places, and shall never be allowed while working or traveling on foot.

(5) Storage of Petroleum and Other Highly Flammable Products. Gasoline, oil, grease, or other highly flammable material will be stored either in a separate building used exclusively for such storage, or at a site where all combustible debris and vegetation is cleared away within a radius of 25 feet. Fire extinguishers and/or sand barrels may be required at such locations specified by the Forest Service when unusually hazardous conditions exist.

(6) Debris Burning and Warming Fires. Burning permits will be required for all debris burning fires.

Lunch and warming fires may be allowed in fireproofed areas during periods of low fire danger if and as specified in the fire plan. Such fires must not be left burning unattended.

12363N25Q4114 (OCH) NR Crazy Creek Suppression Repair-Fencing Page 38 of 79

(7) Under certain atmospheric conditions, smoke accumulations may become excessive and in these cases, the Regional Forester may, at his/her discretion, prohibit all open burning for definite periods within specific areas of the National Forest.

H.2 KEY PERSONNEL

(a) The Contractor shall assign to this contract the following key personnel: Project Leader.

(b) During the first ninety (15) days of performance, the Contractor shall make no substitutions of key personnel unless the substitution is necessitated by illness, death, or termination of employment.

After the initial 90-day period, the Contractor shall submit the information required by paragraph (c) to the Contracting Officer at least 15 days prior to making any permanent substitutions.

(c) The Contractor shall provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances necessitating the proposed substitutions, complete resumes for the proposed substitutes, and any additional information requested by the Contracting Officer. Proposed substitutes should have comparable qualifications to those of the persons being replaced. The Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor within 15 calendar days after receipt of all required information of the decision on substitutions. The contract will be modified to reflect any approved changes of key personnel.

H.3 Incidental Payment Items
