0.0- .49 Miles ~31 plots

0.5 - 1.0 Miles ~30 plots

1.1 – 2.0 Miles ~35 plots

2.1 Miles + ~ 4 plots

*The exis ng trail system (motorized and non-motorized) can be used to access plots off of a road. A mul tude of ‘Motorcycle Only’ and ‘Wheeled Vehicles ≤ 50 Inch Width’ OHV roads may provide closer access to plots than the approximated distances above indicate. Some of the ‘All Vehicle’ roads are ‘4X4’ designated roads, therefore high clearance vehicles would be advantageous for this project area. The approximate distances reflect distances to plots from the nearest ‘All Vehicle’ or ‘All Vehicle 4X4’ road.

Private access may be available to reduce travel distance. Any permission obtained to access plots from private property is the sole responsibility and risk of the contractor.

(b) For item(s) identified in paragraph (a) as not fully funded, the Contractor agrees to perform up to the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including reimbursement of authorized termination costs in the event of termination of those item(s) for the Government’s convenience, does not exceed the total amount currently allotted to the items not fully funded under the contract. The Contractor is not authorized to continue work on those item(s) beyond that point.

(c) Notwithstanding the dates specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (j), the Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer in writing at least _________[thirty, sixty, or ninety, as appropriate] days prior to the date when, in the Contractor’s best judgment, the work will reach the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including any cost for termination for convenience, will approximate 85 percent of the total amount currently allotted to the contract for performance of the applicable item(s). The notification will state (1) the estimated date when that point will be reached and

(2) an estimate of additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance of applicable line items up to the next scheduled date for allotment of funds identified in paragraph (j), or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date.

(e) If, solely by reason of failure of the Government to allot additional funds, by the dates indicated below, in amounts sufficient for timely performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a), the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment will be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of the item(s), or in the time of delivery, or both. Failure to agree to any such equitable adjustment hereunder will be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause entitled "Disputes."

(f) The Government may at any time prior to termination allot additional funds for the performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) above.

(g) The termination provisions do not limit the rights of the Government under the clause entitled "Default" or "Termination for Cause".

These terms no longer apply once the contract is fully funded except with regard to the rights or obligations of the parties concerning equitable adjustments negotiated under paragraphs (e) and (f) above.
