SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM, www.sam.gov ):

The System for Award Management (SAM) is a Government owned-and-operated FREE website.

Vendors must be successfully registered in SAM in order to be considered for a Government contract award.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK:

The Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region, will be undertaking a project to restore a section of Hobble Creek, located within the city limits of Springville, UT. The purpose of the restoration project is to create spawning habitat for the native June Sucker in support of the June Sucker Recovery Program.

The project design entails widening the footprint of the stream channel for several hundred yards and recreating a more natural, meandering stream which ultimately will take up a much wider footprint, but will better serve the spawning June Sucker population.

In order to meet project requirements, approximately 75-100 invasive trees and will need to be removed from the existing streambank. Reclamation crews will be responsible for tree and stump removal, bucking into 6-10 foot lengths, loading, and hauling the tree waste to an onsite stockpile. The largest trees are approximately 3-foot diameter at the base of the trunk. Most are approximately 10-inch diameter. Root balls may be larger than 3-foot diameter. Trees mainly consist of Russian Olive and Crack Willow. Crews will be using excavator(s) with a masticator head and Krypto Claw head as much as possible. Consequently, the tree waste shall be cut into lengths which can be loaded into a 25 ton rock truck for transport to the onsite stockpile location.

Reclamation requires a vendor to provide a grinding service for the green waste.

The green waste estimate is between 500 and 700 tons. Vendor shall supply and deliver a tub style grinder and operator to the job location for a maximum period of 60 hours for the purpose of grinding the onsite green waste stockpile. The grinder shall have a minimum of 400 Horsepower and shall be machine fed, with either excavator or grapple claw. If the grinder is fed with an excavator, vendor shall supply the excavator and an operator. The grinder shall be capable of cutting wood waste into approximate 2-inch wide chips, suitable for landscape mulch. Hand fed units are not acceptable for this project.

The mulched material will be stockpiled onsite for utilization by the local municipality. We will have a loader and operator available to dress the stockpile if needed.

Reclamation crews will be onsite throughout the duration of the project. We intend to have the vegetation stockpiled for the vendor so that the grinding operation may run continuously without waiting for material. It is estimated this amount of green waste to take approximately 5 days (40 hrs) to grind; however, the contract shall not exceed 60 hours total. The vendor shall only bill for operating time. Operating time is defined as the time the grinder and operator are onsite, during working hours, up to 10 hours per day, until the grinding job is complete. Longer days may be worked if approved by the onsite foreman. Mobilization and setup costs should be figured into the hourly rate.

SCHEDULE:

The project is scheduled to begin on August 9, 2016. We expect to have the trees cut and stockpiled by Reclamation by August 23rd. The anticipated grinding schedule for the contractor is the weeks of August 22nd and August 29th. The exact schedule for work will be coordinated with the selected vendor.

SUBMITTALS:

Vendors shall submit the specifications of the grinder/equipment they propose to use with their quote, confirm availability for the weeks of August 22 and 29th, and submit 3 past performance references for similar grinding work including a contact name and phone number.

LOCATION:

The project is located on Hobble Creek, between Provo, UT and Springville, UT. Coordinates are Lat:

40.177655, Long: -111.629484. Access is from 950 W 700 N, Springville, UT.

SSA - Social Security Administration

INS SAVE Program - The INS Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program

ESA - Employment Standards Administration (Department of Labor)

(a) Authority. Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (8 USC 1101 as amended) and the

Immigration and Nationality Act, Section 274A.

(b) Who is Covered. INA includes provisions addressing employment eligibility, employment verification, and nondiscrimination. These provisions apply to all employers, including government contractors.

(c) Basic Provisions/Requirements. Under IRCA, employers may hire only persons who may legally work in the U.S., i.e., citizens and nationals of the U.S. and aliens authorized to work in the U.S. The employer must verify the identity and employment eligibility of anyone to be hired, which includes completing the

Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9). Employers must keep each I-9 on file for at least three years, or one year after employment ends, whichever is longer. Detailed guidance on the I-9 is available at the INS web site: http://www.uscis.gov/i-9

(d) Employment Verification Pilot Programs. The INS and the SSA are conducting the following programs that provide employers a way to confirm the employment eligibility of their newly hired employees. Any employer located in a pilot state may volunteer to participate in a pilot program. If employers are not located in a pilot state, they would verify employment eligibility by following the procedures currently in place, i.e., by completing Form I-9.

(1) The Basic Pilot is a joint pilot being conducted by the INS and SSA in the States of California, Florida, Illinois, Nebraska, New York, and Texas. This pilot involves verification checks of the SSA and INS databases of all newly hired employees, regardless of citizenship. To receive information on the Basic

Pilot program please call the INS SAVE Program toll free at 1-888-464-4218, or fax your request for information to (202) 514-9981, or write to USINS, SAVE Program, 425 I Street, NW, ULLICO Building 4th

(3) The INS and the SSA are conducting the Machine-Readable Document Pilot in the State of Iowa.

The Machine-Readable Document Pilot is identical to the Basic Pilot in all respects, except for the geographic scope of the pilot and for one additional feature. If an employee presents an Iowa's driver's license or identification card containing a machine-readable SSN, the employer will make an inquiry through the confirmation system by using the machine-readable feature. To receive information on the

Machine-Readable Document Pilot program please call the INS SAVE Program toll free at 1-888-464-

4218, or fax your request for information to (202) 514-9981. You may also write to US/INS, SAVE

Employment Standards Division, Wage and Hour Division, and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance

Programs.

(g) Penalties/Sanctions. Employers who fail to complete and/or retain the I-9 forms are subject to penalties. The INS enforces the INA requirements on verification of employment eligibility. The Justice

Department enforces the anti-discrimination provisions. As part of their ongoing enforcement efforts, the ESA's Wage and Hour Division and Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs conduct inspections of the I-9 forms. They report their findings to the INS and to the Department of Justice when they find cases of disparate treatment or unauthorized employment. A debarring official may debar a contractor, based on a determination by the Attorney General of the United States, or designee, that the contractor is not in compliance with the INA. The Attorney General's determination is not reviewable in the debarment proceedings.

WBR 1452.211-80 Notice of Intent to Acquire Metric Products and Services -- Bureau of Reclamation -

(Mar 1993)

(a) Metric Transition Plan. The Department of the Interior on December 6, 1991, issued a Metric

Transition Program (Part 758 Department Manual Chapter 1) to establish and describe the program's policies and responsibilities. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), has developed a Metric

Transition Plan to implement metrication in Reclamation. This plan describes Reclamation's overall strategy for using the metric system, defines general requirements and procedures for carrying out the transition, and details the tasks with milestones for Reclamation offices to complete.

(b) The Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (Trade Act).

(1) Section 5164 of Public Law 100-418, the Trade Act, amended the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 and designated the metric system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce.

(2) The Trade Act establishes September 30, 1992, as the implementation date (to the extent economically feasible) for Federal agencies to use the metric system of measurement in its procurements, grants, and other business-related activities.

(3) The Trade Act permits exceptions to the use of the metric system to the extent that such use is impractical or is likely to cause significant inefficiencies or loss of markets to United States firms, such as when foreign competitors are producing competing products in non-metric units.

(4) As a result of the Trade Act, the President issued Executive Order 12770 dated July 25, 1991, to implement the congressional designation of the metric system as the preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce.

(c) Bureau of Reclamation Implementation. As a result of the Trade Act, Reclamation will, to the maximum extent practicable, use hard conversion and soft conversion metric systems in designing its construction projects, eventually phasing out use of the soft conversion metric system. Exceptions to this policy will only be made when such use is impractical, produces inefficiencies or market losses, or is not economically feasible.

(d) Expected Results. Reclamation expects its support of the metric system to result in increased use of the metric system by U.S. contractors, thereby increasing their ability to compete in the international marketplace. Increasing use of the metric system by U.S. contractors will eliminate possible restrictions on their bidding in the international marketplace and will eliminate any impact of economic blocks by metric countries restricting the acceptance of non-metric products.

1452.215-71 Use and Disclosure of Proposal Information--Department of the Interior - (Apr 1984)

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:

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.
