This solicitation implements two FAR class deviations to ensure compliance with Executive Orders 14148, 14173, 14168 and 14208, issued since January 20, 2025. These deviations reflect recent policy updates and remove outdated requirements, as outlined below.

The following FAR provisions and clauses are hereby removed in their entirety from the LMIR Stewardship BPA:

• 52.222-21 Prohibition of Segregated Facilities

• 52.222-22 Previous Contracts and Compliance Reports

• 52.222-23 Notice of Requirement for Affirmative Action To Ensure Equal Employment

Opportunity for Construction

• 52.222-24 Preaward On-Site Equal Opportunity Compliance Evaluation

• 52.222-25 Affirmative Action Compliance

• 52.222-26 Equal Opportunity

• 52.222-27 Affirmative Action Compliance Requirements for Construction

• 52.222-29 Notification of visa denial

• 52.223-10 Waste Reduction Program (MAY 2024)

• 52.223-19 Compliance with Environmental Management Systems (MAY 2011)

• 52.223-22 Public Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Reduction Goals—

Representation (DEC 2016)

• 52.222-55 Minimum Wages for Contractor Workers Under Executive Order 14026*

*This provision was removed to comply with the Executive Order titled "Additional Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions," dated March 14, 2025.

The following FAR clauses now include deviations to align with recent Executive Orders:

• 52.204-8 Annual Representations and Certifications (JAN 2025) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Products and

Commercial Services (MAY 2024) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.212-5 Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes or Executive

Orders—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (JAN 2025) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.223-1 Biobased Product Certification (MAY 2024) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.223-2 Reporting of Biobased Products Under Service and Construction Contracts (MAY

2024) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.223-10 Waste Reduction Program (MAY 2024) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.223-23, Sustainable Products and Services (MAY 2024 (DEVIATION FEB 2025))

12363N26Q4064 AR Tamarack Road Repairs Page 7 of 161

All call orders will incorporate these changes by reference at award.

Disclaimer: System updates may lag policy updates. The System for Award Management (SAM) may continue to require entities to complete representations based on provisions that are not included in agency solicitations. Examples include 52.222-25, Affirmative Action Compliance, and paragraph (d) of 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Products and Commercial Services. Contracting officers will not consider these representations when making award decisions or enforce requirements. Entities are not required to, nor are they able to, update their entity registration to remove these representations in SAM.

In advancement of Section 2 of Executive Order 14208, the removal of requirements related to Executive Order 14057 eliminates all non-statutory sustainability requirements or preferences in purchases of food service wares, including paper straws. In addition to removing requirements related to Executive Order 14057, the attachment also reflects recent updates to Code of Federal Regulation citations for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s BioPreferred® Program, a statutory purchasing preference program.

These class deviations will remain in effect until rescinded or incorporated into the FAR.

Surfacing materials shall be thoroughly loosened to a depth of no less than 2 inches or the depth of potholes or corrugations. Corrugations are washboarding and similar defects.

Scarification to facilitate cutting to the full depth of potholes or corrugations may be elected by the Contractor but will be considered incidental to blading. Scarification shall not go deep enough to cause contamination of the surfacing. Compaction method C.

2.The Contractor shall apply water during blading when sufficient moisture is not present to prevent segregation.

3.Existing native, rock or aggregate surfaced drainage dips shall be cleaned and shaped incidental to blading to divert surface runoff to existing outlet devices, ditches and discharge locations.

4.The Contractor shall establish a blading pattern which provides a uniform driving surface, retains the surfacing on the roadbed and provides a thorough mixing of the materials within the completed surface width.

b. Drainage Facilities

Cleaning existing drainage facilities includes roadside drainage ditches, drainage dips, inlet and outlet ditches, overside drains and flumes, inverts and interiors of culverts, culvert catch basins, drop inlets, trash racks, and sediment basins. Slash and debris shall be scattered below the road in a uniform matter to prevent piles.

12363N26Q4064 AR Tamarack Road Repairs Page 23 of 161

Drainage structures not included under this specification are bridges, cattle guards, and culverts over 72 inches in diameter.

c. Ditches, Lead Off and Roadside Wood, rock, trees, brush and other debris shall be removed from ditches to provide unobstructed flow of water. Slash and debris (woody or organic) shall be scattered in such a manner as not to impede the flow of water. The backslope of ditches shall not be undercut by cleaning operations. Existing ditch blocks shall be restored, reshaped, and compacted method C as needed for effective drainage through culverts. Catch basins shall be cleaned of material above the invert of the culvert.

d. Dips (Also called intercepting dips or rolling dips)

Existing drainage dips shall be cleaned and the outslope gradient sufficiently restored to remove surface water from roadbed, conducting the water through drainage facilities, compaction method C.

e. Culverts

Inlet and outlet ends, as well as four feet inside each end, of existing culvert, shall be cleaned to provide unobstructed flow of water. Natural drain culvert channels shall be cleared of all down trees, limbs, stumps, brush, rocks and other debris, that restricts the flow of water, 6 feet in width for 15 linear feet at each end. Slash and debris (woody or organic) within 5 feet from the inlet shall be scattered in such a manner as not to impede the flow of water. The channel shall be shaped to natural streambed with constant grade at inlet and outlet ends.

f. Overside Drains and Flumes

Overside drains shall be cleaned of debris to provide an unobstructed flow of water. Debris (woody or organic) shall be scattered in such a manner as not to impede the flow of water.

g. Designed Earth Berms

Berm breaches of less than 5 cubic yards shall be filled, shaped, and compacted method C.

Fill material shall be located within 500 feet of breach or by ripping to the depth and width necessary to obliterate such defects; providing a smooth transition to adjacent satisfactory roadbed. Filling with loose material will not be acceptable.

h. Settlements

Settlements 12 inches or less in depth shall be scarified and then repaired by cutting from the roadbed on each end of the settled area, filling and compaction method C the material into the settled area providing a smooth transition to adjacent satisfactory roadbed.

12363N26Q4064 AR Tamarack Road Repairs Page 24 of 161

i. Washouts

Washouts in roadway of less than five cubic yards shall be filled and compacted method C. Fill material shall be located within 500 feet of washout or as directed by the Contracting Officer.

** Compaction method C. Moisten or dry the aggregate to a uniform moisture content between 5 and 7 percent based on total dry weight of the mixture.

Operate rollers and compact as specified in Subsection 204.11(a)(1).

3. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT

Measurement for maintenance will be “by the mile”, measured by slope distance along the centerline of the roadway. Measurement will be to the nearest one-tenth mile. No separate measurement will be made for any of the elements of work described in the foregoing

4. PAYMENT

Payment will be made for all units inspected and accepted at the unit price shown on the schedule of items.
