Forest. Detailed maps of the Shasta Trinity National Forest are available from the Headquarters office or the McCloud/Mt. Shasta Ranger Station offices. Access to certain stands may be limited; the
Government is not obligated to do any unscheduled road maintenance. It is the responsibility of the
Contractor to determine the most suitable route to the project areas. All units are normally accessible by standard pickup on forest roads.
Project Area Maps: Maps provided in the contract are intended to show the general location and shape of the project areas and are georeferenced for use in Avenza.
Plantation Boundaries: The first-year surveys unit boundaries are defined by pink-glo colored flagging, and yellow corner tags on the roadsides with the unit’s name and number written on the tags. Third year survey unit boundaries are virtual and have yellow corner tags on the roadsides with the unit’s name and number written on the tags. System road boundaries or other well-defined physical features are not flagged. Unit boundaries will be flagged at the Contractor’s written request as necessary for boundary clarity. Positions of features are approximate.
3. UNIQUE FACTORS

8. CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL
A Quality Control Plan is required and must be acceptable to the government prior to commencement of work. The Contractor shall provide documentation of Quality Control Inspections in full accordance with the plan.
Quality Control Plan – As part of an offer, all Offerors shall submit a complete, written Quality Control
Plan (QCP) to ensure the requirements of the contract are met. The QCP need not be elaborate, but shall address the following aspects:
a) A checklist or plan for inspection of the services performed that complies with the Technical
Specifications.
b) A system to ensure that the Contractor’s employees or Subcontractors (if any) are notified of any deficiencies in their area of work.
c) A plan for responding to any corrective notices issued by the Government.
General Inspection: In addition to the requirements in FAR 52.212-4 the Contractor shall maintain an inspection system acceptable to the Government. The intended purpose of the Contractor performing self-inspection is to monitor quality while work is being performed, there-by allowing the Contractor to identify and correct any quality deficiencies in their work while the work is in progress. The Contractor shall inspect their work on an ongoing basis and make available to the Government the results of the inspections. The Contractor shall mark any inspection plots on the ground with flagging for
Government verification. Inspections shall be conducted and maintained by the individual work unit.
Inspection quality results shall be calculated on a unit basis and an inspection summary shall be provided to the COR at least weekly. Prior to requesting an acceptance inspection or payment request, the Contractor shall make available to the Government all inspection records of the work performed.
Inspection Records: Contractor Quality Control shall include documentation of inspection results in an acceptable format as identified in their Quality Control Plan. The documentation provided must be legible and reflective of all work performed and maintained by the unit. Contractor inspection methods or procedures indicating quality exceeding 100% are not acceptable.
9. GOVERNMENT QUALITY ASSURANCE VERIFICATION
Inspection
Government will inspect at least 1 percent of the plots in the unit for compliance. Plots will be checked for accuracy. In addition to this, the Government will check distance between plots and plot lines, plot numbering, map drawing to see if unit has been uniformly and systematically traversed and completeness of unit examination. The quality of work will be determined for separate surveyed stands for purposes of payment and will not average with other units.
Field inspection will consist of randomly selecting plots on each stand, and an inspection of that plot.
All documentation will be checked for accuracy. Whenever the results of the inspection are not in agreement with the plot data, 10% will be deducted from the plot score for each field in which there is at least an error. The “Comments” section will be checked for remarks on the unplantable areas existing within the plot. 10% will be subtracted from the plot score if conditions are not properly recorded. The percentage score for each plot will be recorded and then averaged with the scores of all other plots within the same stand to compute the plot score for the stand. The Contractor, or representative, is encouraged to observe this inspection and will receive inspection summaries upon request.
Documentation inspections will consist of checking maps and data sheets provided by the Contractor for correctness, legibility, and neatness. Whenever a stand map is found to be inaccurate or not sufficiently neat in appearance, 10% will subtracted from the field inspection plot score. Whenever the recorded date is found to be unsatisfactory, or headings are incomplete or inaccurate, another 10% will be subtracted from the filed inspection plot score. The final score resulting from the combination of field and documentation inspections will be used to determine the payment rate.
Stand quality percent for all of the sample plots will be averaged and rounded to the nearest whole percent.
10. REWORK OF A UNIT
When inspection results are below 80 percent, payment will not be made until the stand has been resurveyed. When a stand needs to be resurveyed, the plot markers placed during the original survey shall be removed and replaced with new plot markers. Re-inspection of corrected work will be done in the same manner as the first inspection. The Contractor shall pay for inspections necessitated by rework.
11. GOVERNMENT RE-INSPECTION UPON CONTRACTORS REQUEST
If the original inspection results are unacceptable to the Contractor and a second inspection is requested without rework, the same inspection procedure will be used. However, a different plot line will be selected for inspection. If the second inspection results show less than a 5 percent variance from the first inspection, the Contractor shall pay the cost of the second inspection, and the results of the first inspection will be used in determining payment. If the variance is 5 percent or greater, the results of the second inspection will be used, and the Contractor shall not be liable for the cost of re-inspection.
Request for re-inspection must be made in writing.
12. ACCEPTANCE
The Government will accept a unit when all work has been completed, which includes completed
Survival Exam Plot Sheets (with correct totals on the bottom of each Plot Sheet), accurate and legible map drawings, and formal/informal inspections showing that all contractual specifications have been met.
13. PENALTIES AND INCENTIVES
Penalties for Un-acceptable Work by the Contractor –
(1) Where possible, the Contractor shall re-work at no cost to the Government all work performed which does not meet the acceptable quality level.
(2) Contractor shall bear the cost of extra inspections by the Government if the Government has to perform extra monitoring of the Contractors work (re-inspections of areas re-worked).
(3) Government may accept the Contractors work, but at a reduced payment rate.
(4) The Government may exercise its right to terminate for cause.
(5) The Contractor may receive a poor performance rating.
Incentives for Acceptable Work by the Contractor – The Contractor shall receive a positive performance rating and receive recommendations for award of similar work in the future.
14. PAYMENT BASIS
Payment will be made for completed units of work at the contract unit price where quality meets or exceeds standard less any authorized deductions.
15. CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATE
Designation of Contracting Officer’s Representative
The Contracting Officer will designate a Contracting Officer Representative responsible for administering the performance of work under this contract. In no event, however, will any understanding, agreement, modification, change order, or other matter deviating from the terms of this contract be effective or binding upon the Government unless formalized by proper contractual documents executed by the Contracting Officer prior to completion of the work.
The Contracting Officer should be informed as soon as possible of any actions or inactions by the
Contractor or the Government which may affect the required delivery or completion times stated in the contract.
Post Award – No persons other than the CO, COR and other government officials as designated under this contract have authority to give direction for work to be performed by the Contractor. The
Government is not responsible for costs incurred during the performance of work not covered under this contract or resulting from direction by non-authorized persons.
Proposed scope changes which alter contract time or cost may occur by mutual agreement between the
Contractor and the Contracting Officer only. If the Contractor is given direction that is considered to be outside of the scope of the contract, the Contractor should advise the Contracting Officer.
