STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

Post Mastication Chemical Treatment Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex

(Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Funding)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Introduction

The Sacramento River Corridor Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project is located adjacent to the Sacramento River and is within the Sacramento River Refuge. The Sacramento River Refuge is part of the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex and is located in the Sacramento Valley of North-Central California.

The refuge was established in 1989 and is currently composed of 26 units along a 77-mile stretch of the Sacramento River between the cities of Red Bluff and Princeton, 90 miles north of the metropolitan area of Sacramento. In addition, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has 1,281 acres of riparian habitats in conservation easement owned by Llano Seco Ranch. Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge consists of 10,366 acres.

Sutter National Wildlife Refuge Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project is located within Sutter National Wildlife Refuge. The Sutter National Wildlife Refuge is part of the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex and is located in the Sacramento Valley of North-Central California. Sutter National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1945 under the authority of the Migratory Bird Conservation Act and Lea Act in order to alleviate crop depredation problems as well as provide wintering habitat for waterfowl. Lands were acquired from 1945 until 1953 with Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp Act funds. Sutter National Wildlife Refuge consists of 2,713 acres.

The Project will be 100% on Federal Responsibility Area (FRA) lands, although it supports fire prevention in Local Responsibility Area (LRA) lands. Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex is directed to reduce hazardous fuels as identified as a priority under the USFWS Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP), their Fire Management Plan. Environmental Assessment (NEPA) for the Sacramento River NWR was completed in 2005 - Alternative B implementation (Appendix A. Environmental Assessment).

Environment Assessment (NEPA) for Sutter NWR was completed in 2009 - Alternative B implementation (Appendices A, E, F and L)

This statement of work outlines for chemical application following mastication that has been done in FY22, FY23, and FY24. The project created a 50-foot-wide fuel break on over 1000 acres by removing dense vegetation surrounding public access areas, structures, and property boundaries. The thick riparian vegetation native to these river corridors is fast growing. To ensure the longevity of the work already done a multi-year chemical application will be used to ensure fuel breaks remain open and effective.

Treatment sites are accessible via gravel/dirt roads in areas of the refuge that are closed to the public and areas open to the public. Contractor shall furnish all equipment, labor, and materials necessary to accomplish the specified vegetative control and treatment. Contractor will also be expected to track and report chemical usage back to the refuge for reporting purposes. Water sources may be available depending on which site the contractor is working on. Water may be made available to the contractor at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, Sutter National Wildlife Refuge, or Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge. Contractor should consult with project lead about location and use of water sources prior to using.

Methods should be outlined in a proposal for technical review by the refuge Contracting Officer Representative (COR). Upon completion of treatment, the contractor will provide spatial data indicating areas sprayed, and spray application rates. Please review the following for more detailed information.

1.2 Objectives.

The objectives of this project are to conduct treatment of:

1) Fuel Breaks previously treated with mastication.

2) Continue to control and treat up to1200 acres of previously masticated fuel breaks in FY25, FY26, and FY27

3) Fuels Breaks will be used as control lines for future Prescribed Fire Treatments.

The project is funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) to reduce wildfire risk, restore ecosystems, and create resiliency while improving habitat conditions at the refuge. By treating these previously masticated fuel breaks it will ensure longevity and effectiveness. The fuel breaks will act as control features for future prescribed fire treatments on the Sacramento River Refuge. These fuel breaks have been placed along the Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge as well as Sutter National Wildlife Refuge.

In order to achieve these objectives, the work consists of mechanical treatment and/or chemical control using appropriate and approved equipment, techniques, and herbicides for target species.

To achieve objective 1, control and treatment of 600 acres of previously masticated fuel breaks. Refuge roads and trails are generally unpaved through riparian areas. Table 1 identifies appropriate herbicides.

Application should be made using a backpack sprayer or UTV with spray tank. If UTVs will be used, they must be clearly marked. UTVs must be cleaned before arrival to the refuge with a pressured nozzle to remove mud, dirt, seeds, and plant material. An inspection of the UTV will occur prior to accessing the refuge to ensure it is clean. Use of UTVs is permitted on established refuge roads and trails within the proposed treatments areas and while accessing treatment areas as identified on attached maps.

Alternate application methods may be included in your proposal.

1.3 Scope.

The contractor shall furnish necessary herbicide and surfactant based on the Refuge Approved Herbicide List (Table 1). Any herbicide not listed on this SOW will require approval from the COR prior to application and may delay the project timeline.

For riparian species (Blackberry, Black walnut, Cottonwood, Coyote bush, Elm, Fig, Oregon ash, Oak, Poison oak, Salt cedar, Tree of heaven, Wild grape, Wild rose, and Willow) the recommended foliar treatment will consist of a Triclopyr product and necessary adjuvant. The herbicide applications shall occur any time weather and access to the project allows with refuge manager approval. The project should be accessible May through October, but this would depend on rainfall.

All herbicide applications shall be consistent with the product label instructions, manufacturer’s guidance, Refuge Pesticide Use Proposal (PUP), and the requirements of this contract. Foliar spray of nontarget native species will not be tolerated. The contractor must remove all pesticide, unused mixed herbicide and remove from the refuge upon completion of treatment.

1.4 Period of Performance.

The period of performance shall be September 1, 2025, to September 1, 2026.

2. LOCATIONS, CONTACTS

2.1 General Location.

2.1.1 Locations.

The proposed work is located within the boundaries of Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex.

2.1.2 Areas to be treated.

These treatment units are mapped, and spatial data can be supplied to the contractor by the refuge and/ or US Fish and Wildlife Service prior to application.

Up to 600 acres of masticated fuel breaks alongside of unpaved refuge road and trails will be treated for Blackberry, Black walnut, Cottonwood, Coyote bush, Elm, Fig, Oregon ash, Oak, Poison oak, Salt cedar, Tree of heaven, Wild grape, Wild rose, and Willow. Treatment areas will only occur in mastication footprint which is 25ft. or less off one or both sides of the road.

If proven successful and funding is received the project has potential to include an additional 700 acres of treatment for FY25-FY27.

2.1.3 Herbicide/Surfactant.

While we suggest using the following herbicide, alternatives are listed in Table 1.

For riparian species list foliar sprays: 52.8 fl. oz. (3.3 pints) of Garlon 3A Herbicide per acre. 1.6 fl. oz.

of Induce Nonionic Surfactant will be added as the surfactant. The contractor will apply up to 10 gallons of mixture per acre.

2.1.4. Contracting Officer Representative Contact.

Frank Alves, FRANK_ALVES@FWS.GOV

2.2 Site Location.

Treatment areas are delineated in the attached maps. Shapefiles are available to contractor upon request.

Access and staging areas will be discussed at site visit prior to work beginning.

3. CONTROL GOALS AND HERBICIDES

3.1 General.

Specific treatment areas are identified on the maps and drawings (Figure 5 and 6). The contractor is encouraged to visit the sites to determine the logistics required for the work. The purpose of this treatment is to achieve the vegetation control goals described in the next paragraph.

3.2 Vegetation Control Objectives.

Blackberry, Black walnut, Cottonwood, Coyote bush, Elm, Fig, Oregon ash, Oak, Poison oak, Salt cedar, Tree of heaven, Wild grape, Wild rose, and Willow will be sprayed, with each area receiving at least 80% coverage of individuals by foliar spray, with 80% of the targeted species killed 30 days post treatment for foliar spray.

3.3 Herbicide Selection Procedure.

The contractor will use Garlon 3A or Vastlan (for Blackberry, Black walnut, Cottonwood, Coyote bush, Elm, Fig, Oregon ash, Oak, Poison oak, Salt cedar, Tree of heaven, Wild grape, Wild rose, and Willow), or their chemical equivalents when similarly labeled materials are available, and/or other COR pre-approved pesticides (Table 1). Herbicide containers will be appropriately labeled for specific application. No EPA restricted use herbicides are allowed. No herbicides can be used on National Wildlife Refuge property without prior approval from the COR. In addition, all carriers and adjuvants must be non-toxic as well as approved by the COR. The surfactant shall be added per label instructions to all herbicide mixtures. The contractor must use a blue marking dye during the glossy buckthorn cut stump treatment.

Refuge approved signs provided by the contractor are required to alert visitors of sprayed areas treated in Wertheim NWR. The signs must be posted in advance of the treatment and remain in place according to the safety data sheet reentry interval plus 12 hours.

3.4 Minimizing Impacts to Non-Target Species.

All applications will be in accordance with the best management practices of the State of California and federal guidelines. No broadcast spraying shall be performed when wind speeds exceed specifications listed on the herbicide label, or 10 mph, whichever is less, or wind directions are likely to result in drift to non-target areas. Broadcast spraying will conclude more than 24 hours before forecasted rain event.

The contractor must follow all restrictions identified on the SDS and herbicide label.

4. NOTIFICATION OF TREATMENT

The contractor will provide a 72-hour notice to the COR before arriving at the site locations for herbicide treatment. This will avoid conflicts with ongoing Refuge management activities and ensure that Refuge staff is available to answer questions, if required, and to participate in any reconnaissance that may be conducted. The telephone number for the office is listed above.

5. HANDLING, MIXING, APPLICATION RATES AND METHODS

5.1 Handling and Mixing.

All herbicides will be handled and stored in accordance with instructions on the EPA registration label.

All herbicides shall be mixed in accordance with the label instructions so that the desired rate of application can be attained with the contractor's application equipment. There is no containment system available at refuge, as such the contractor is required to provide a secondary containment system around their herbicide mixing area if herbicides are mixed on government property. This containment system must be constructed of impervious materials. In addition, the contractor will ensure that no contamination of any water source occurs, and that emergency spill containment equipment is at the worksite and can contain all potential herbicide spills from contractor vehicles/equipment. Unused, mixed pesticides will be disposed of in accordance with local, state and EPA guidelines. Prior to leaving a worksite for the day, the contractor shall remove all equipment and unused materials, any waste materials, oil, empty herbicide containers and litter resulting from contract activities on government property.

5.2 Equipment.

Required equipment includes sprayers (backpack, ATV sprayers, etc.) and necessary personal protective equipment. The equipment used by the contractor shall be designed for such work and operated in a safe manner. The equipment will be limited to function only within the patches of invasive species and adjacent roads. The equipment will be capable of accurately delivering a predetermined rate per acre dosage of herbicide and proof of calibration for broadcast sprayers. All equipment shall be washed before accessing the refuge to ensure the equipment is free of soil, seeds, vegetative material or other debris that may contain non-native seeds or rhizomes. Equipment will be considered clean when visual inspection is carried out by the COR and is determined to be clean of soil, seed, plant material and debris.

Contractors will not conduct treatment using vehicles on refuge roads and trails when trails are wet in order to reduce damage and development of tire ruts.

5.3 Rates and Method of Application.

Application rates will be per the specification on the SDS, USFWS PUP, labeling and manufacturer's suggested rate tables, chemical used, and the desired results identified in “3.2 Vegetation Control Objective”.

All applications will be in accordance with the best management practices of the State of California and federal guidelines. No broadcast spraying shall be performed when wind speeds exceed specifications listed on the herbicide label, or 10 mph, whichever is less, or wind directions are likely to result in drift to non-target areas. Broadcast spraying will conclude more than 24 hours before forecasted rain event.

Applications will occur within the appropriate temperature restrictions in accordance with the SDS.

***Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($17.75 per hour) or 13658 ($13.30 per hour). Please see the Note at the top of the wage determination for more information. Please also note that the minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 and 13658 are not currently being enforced as to contracts or contract-like instruments entered into with the federal government in connection with seasonal recreational services or seasonal recreational equipment rental for the general public on federal lands. The minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 also are not currently being enforced as to any contract or subcontract to which the states of Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi, including their agencies, are a party.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors, applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-5675/26 5/8 assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is the victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

HEALTH & WELFARE: $5.55 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $222.00 per week or $962.00 per month

HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $5.09 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $203.60 per week, or $882.27 per month*

*This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-covered contract also covered by EO 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.

VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor, 3 weeks after 5 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)

HOLIDAYS: A minimum of eleven paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4.174)

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: This wage determination does not apply to any individual employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity, as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. (See 41 C.F.R. 6701(3)). Because most Computer Systems Analysts and Computer Programmers who are paid at least $27.63 per hour (or at least $684 per week if paid on a salary or fee basis) likely qualify as exempt computer professionals under 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(1) and 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(17), this wage determination may not include wage rates for all occupations within those job families. In such instances, a conformance will be necessary if there are nonexempt employees in these job families working on the contract.

Job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, and are not determinative of whether an employee is an exempt computer professional. To be exempt, computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements must also have a primary duty that consists of:

(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications;

(2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design specifications;

(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or

(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).

Any computer employee who meets the applicable compensation requirements and the above duties test qualifies as an exempt computer professional under both section 13(a)(1) and section 13(a)(17) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. (Field Assistance Bulletin No. 2006-3 (Dec. 14, 2006)). Accordingly, this wage determination will not apply to any exempt computer employee regardless of which of these two exemptions is utilized.

2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If…
