LAND MANAGEMENT, ELKO FIELD OFFICE, ELKO COUNTY,

NEVADA

STATEMENT OF WORK

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS

A. INTRODUCTION

This work is intended to reduce hazardous fuel loading and associated wildfire behavior potential, including fire intensity, severity, and rate of spread. The resulting treatments will help support resource protection objectives, improve firefighter safety, and promote the protection of communities within the wildland urban interface. The Bureau of Land Management is acquiring fuels-reduction services on selected sites administered by the Elko District to address hazardous fuels in the form of noxious and invasive annual grasses within the project areas. If left untreated, these fuels will significantly increase wildfire risk, intensity, and spread potential. Ground disturbance is not allowed due to the potential to create additional disturbance that could further the spread of invasive weeds or impact cultural resources that are susceptible to damage from overland travel. The Contractor shall determine the appropriate application method for implementing treatments while accounting for terrain limitations and the presence of potential hazards within the project area. The project area totaling 952 acres is located approximately twenty-one miles south of Jackpot Nevada.

b. There will be a Pre-Work conference prior to the start of the project at an agreed upon date between the COR and the Contractor. At the prework conference the Contractor shall provide the COR with a “work progress” plan that details his/her proposed workforce and schedule to provide for orderly completion of the work within the contract performance times. This work schedule must be acceptable to the government. At a minimum, the schedule should reflect a work progress rate equal to the available amount of contract performance time. The unit sequence work schedule will be determined by the COR at the prework conference but may be subject to change because of normal variations in weather conditions.

4.0 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

a. Application of liquid herbicide will be measured and paid for by the number of acres treated to the nearest acre.

b. Measurement for payment for herbicide treatment will be the actual area, in acres, within the designated boundaries satisfactorily treated in conformance with these specifications. Measurement will be made from either physical surveys of the areas or a computer-generated file created in a GPS Differential Guidance System at the option of the BLM. The shapefile will be used in ARCGIS for final acreage measurement. Acreages will be computed from horizontal distances as shown on maps at the option of the BLM.

c. If the quantity of a unit-priced item in this contract is an estimated quantity and the actual quantity of the unit-priced item varies more than 15 percent above or below the estimated quantity, an equitable adjustment in the contract price shall be made upon demand of either party. The equitable adjustment shall be based upon any increase or decrease in costs due solely to the variation above 115% or below 85% of the estimated quantity. If the quantity variation is such as to cause an increase in the time necessary for the completion the contractor may request, in writing, an extension of time, to be received by the Contracting Officer within 10 days from the beginning of the delay, or within such further period as may be granted by the Contracting Officer before the date of final settlement of the contract. Upon receipt of a written request for an extension, the Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and make any adjustment for extending the completion date as, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, is justified.

(e) If, after award, there is a change in the composition of the item(s) or a revision to Federal Standard No.

313, which renders incomplete or inaccurate the data submitted under paragraph (d) of this clause, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer and resubmit the data.

(f) Neither the requirements of this clause nor any act or failure to act by the Government shall relieve the Contractor of any responsibility or liability for the safety of Government, Contractor, or subcontractor personnel or property.

(g) Nothing contained in this clause shall relieve the Contractor from complying with applicable Federal, State, and local laws, codes, ordinances, and regulations (including the obtaining of licenses and permits) in connection with hazardous material.

(ii) Obtain medical treatment for those affected by the material; and

(iii) Have others use, duplicate, and disclose the data for the Government for these purposes.

(2) To use, duplicate, and disclose data furnished under this clause, in accordance with subparagraph (h)(1) of this clause, in precedence over any other clause of this contract providing for rights in data.

(3) The Government is not precluded from using similar or identical data acquired from other sources.

(i) Except as provided in paragraph (i)(2) the Contractor shall prepare and submit a sufficient number of Safety Data Sheets (SDS's), meeting the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.1200(g) and the latest version of Federal Standard No. 313, for all hazardous materials identified in paragraph (b) of this clause.

(1) For items shipped to consignees, the Contractor shall include a copy of the SDS with the packing list or other suitable shipping document which accompanies each shipment.

Alternatively, the Contractor is permitted to transmit SDS's to consignees in advance of receipt of shipments by consignees, if authorized in writing by the Contracting Officer.

(2) For items shipped to consignees identified by mailing address as agency depots, distribution centers or customer supply centers, the Contractor shall provide one copy of the SDS's in or on each shipping container. If affixed to the outside of each container, the SDS must be placed in a weather resistant envelope.
