DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

Introduction: The Owyhee Field Office of the Boise District, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is acquiring vegetation management services to reduce juniper encroachment within a sagebrush-steppe habitat.

Background: In accordance with the Bureau of Land Management's Owyhee Field Office Resource Management Plan and Bruneau-Owyhee Sage-Grouse Habitat Project Environmental Impact Statement DOI-BLM-ID-B000-2014- 0002-EIS it has been determined that western juniper treatments are necessary to respond to the threat of sagebrush-steppe habitat loss. This decision authorizes approximately 617,000 acres to be treated within a 10- 15-year timeframe. Focal treatment areas will occur in areas where the canopy cover of western juniper comprises less than or equal to 20% of all vegetation cover. Areas where the canopy cover of western juniper exceeds 20% focal treatment areas will not exceed 5 acres in size.

Approximately half of this particular unit underwent a lop & scatter treatment in 2020. The remainder is uncut standing juniper. This treatment will cut and pile the uncut area, as well as pile slash created by the 2020 Lop & Scatter treatment as well as any other downed juniper material within contract specifications.

Purpose: To improve and maintain sagebrush steppe habitat by removing encroaching western juniper to benefit the greater sage-grouse and other wildlife.

Scope of Work.

South Mountain Road Unit: 12 Acres. Slashing & Hand Piling. Contractor will be required to hand lop & pile all remaining standing juniper, as well pile previously cut and/or down western juniper trees within the unit boundaries.

Please see Specifications for Treatment for treatment specifications.

The Contractor will furnish all tools, labor, supervision, equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, training, and incidentals necessary to accomplish the task in accordance with the specifications provided.

Location of treatment areas: The unit is in northern Owyhee County, 9 miles southeast of Jordan Valley, OR.

The unit straddles a spur road from the South Mountain Rd. The South Mountain Rd is a well-maintained gravel road.

Project Boundary Marking: The location and access to the unit(s) are shown on the vicinity and unit map(s). The unit boundaries may be identified by flagging, roads and fences as shown on the respective unit maps. Not all unit boundaries may be marked, it will be up to the contractor to identify and verify boundaries in the field using maps and electronic devices to stay within the unit(s).

Vehicle Access and Use: Two-wheel drive vehicles will be able to drive South Mountain Road during DRY conditions as it is a well-maintained county route. 4x4 equipped vehicles are recommended on spur roads throughout the unit, as they are considered rough, primitive 2 track roads.

Vehicles (trucks and ATVs/UTVs) will be thoroughly inspected and washed prior to use in the project area to reduce the potential for noxious weed or invasive species spread. Inspection and washing of equipment, etc.

will be documented in project implementation records.

If roads or any type of access become impassable or subject to damage, because of adverse weather conditions or other natural and/or social reasons, the COR will relay information to the Contractor, and a Stop

Work Order may be implemented by the CO until other access can be obtained.

Notification of Cessation or Restart of Work: The Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) at least 3 days before they plan to start operations. Contractor will also notify the COR whenever he intends to cease operations for one or more days and will tell the COR at that time when they plan to resume operations.

Personnel/Equipment Requirements: The Contractor must always maintain an adequate work force to ensure timely completion of the work and is responsible for the crew knowing the requirements of the contract. The crew is also responsible for maintaining a safe working environment following OSHA standards. Due to the remote nature of this work a satellite phone is highly recommended in case of emergencies. The Contractor must attend the pre-work meeting and provide a written performance plan, including crew size, prior to beginning work.

Contractors Representative: One Contractor Representative (foreman) must be designated by the Contractor.

A Contractor Representative must be on-site always directing work. This person must be fluent in English and will also serve as an on the ground contact person for the COR/PI.

A maximum of five (5) days will be allowed to produce a qualified Contractor Representative. Failure to do so within five days may result in the Contracting Officer (CO) issuing a Suspend Work Order. CO and COR must be informed of any changes of Contractor Representative.

Camping: Camping on agency-administered lands will only be allowed on site(s) pre-approved by an authorized officer. Camping areas for cutting crews will be identified and surveyed for cultural resources prior to use of that camp location. Some camp sites may have been pre identified and cleared for use, ask the COR for details. The Contractor shall maintain all camping areas in an orderly and sanitary manner. The ordering and maintenance of portable toilets and dumpsters is the responsibility of the contractor. All fire regulations and restrictions shall be followed. All garbage and residue shall be removed from the camp site(s) by the Contractor and disposed of offsite before final payment is made.

Detailed Unit Information: The unit is considered remote with limited cellular phone service on site. The closest location for full services (gas/motel/restaurant/grocery) is 12 road miles away from the project unit in Jordan Valley, OR.

Fueling of chainsaws will be done outside of riparian areas (streams, wetlands, wet meadows, springs, etc.). The contractor will take every reasonable precaution not to pollute or obstruct any stream, lake, or reservoir on or near the project area in connection with any operations under this contract. If contractor's operations cause pollution or obstruction of any stream, lake, or reservoir on or near the designated cutting area, contractor shall notify the authorized officer immediately, and will correct the condition to the satisfaction of the BLM.

On Site Employees: The contractor will furnish a legible list of all contract employees (last name, first name) to the assigned COR. If there are any changes to the list of contract employees during the life of the contract a new list will be provided to the COR.

Hydrology and Fisheries:

• The contractor shall comply with all applicable State and Federal laws and regulations pertaining to water quality in connection with any operations under this contract.

• Fueling of chainsaws will be done outside of riparian areas. (streams, wetlands, wet meadows, springs, etc.).

• Juniper may be felled over streams where banks are stable to provide shade and cover for fish.

Archeological Concerns:

• The excavation, removal, damage, and altering or defacing of cultural resources is protected under the Archeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) of 1979.

• Any unauthorized collection, excavation, or destruction of archeological materials is also subject to civil penalties under ARPA.

• The amount of the penalty will be the full cost of restoration and repair of archaeological resources plus the archaeological or commercial value of archaeological resources destroyed or not recovered.

• If an obvious un-flagged constructed feature (i.e., rock wall or stone monument) is near a juniper tree to be cut, the tree must be dropped away from the feature and steps taken to avoid damaging the feature.

Special Status Plants:

• All-terrain vehicles (ATV) and utility task vehicles (UTV) will avoid SSP EOs during cross-country travel.

Protection of Improvements: The COR may order a cessation of work if vehicles are operated on roads within the work area when ground or weather conditions cause or lead to loss of traction or rutting. Such conditions usually develop where frozen ground is thawing, when snow is melting, and during or immediately following rainstorms. Ground disturbance will be reduced by tracking over an area one time, and then avoiding sharp tight turns that cause the soil and vegetation to be turned up. Any soil and ground disturbance caused by equipment during and after operations will be rehabilitated.

Salvage Rights: The Contractor does not have salvage rights to the trees.

INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

Inspection: The Government COR and/or PI will make periodic visual inspections. Inspection will consist of documentation of the treated areas.
