DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

Bruneau-Owyhee Sage-Grouse Habitat (BOSH) PROJECT Maintenance 2022

1. 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.

2. 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

The following units underwent lop & scatter treatment in 2019 or 2020. Similar, but not identical, specifications were used. This contract is to “clean up” these units per the current contract specifications.

The majority of the workload will be cutting any growth/whips left on stumps, standing dead trees and live tress previously left for other reasons.

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

4. Scope of Work.

Unit #1: 21,130 Acres. Lop and Leave. Contractor will be required to hand sever western juniper trees(and/or juniper material) regardless of size or tree status within the unit boundaries.

Unit #2: 21,775 Acres. Lop and Leave. Contractor will be required to hand sever western juniper trees regardless of size or tree status within the unit boundaries.

Please see Element 13 for treatment specifications for each unit.

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.

5. Location of treatment areas: Project units are in northern Owyhee County 7-22 miles south-southwest of Oreana, ID*and 10- 30 miles SE of Jordan Valley, OR. Main roads to access the units: Flint Road, Bachman Grade Road, Antelope Ridge Road, South Mountain Road. Numerous unimproved roads and trails stem from these main roads and provide additional access routes.

*Oreana, ID is located between Murphy, ID and Grandview, ID off of ID State Hwy 78.

6. 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).

TITLE: BOSH Project Maintenance 2022 Page 7

7. Vehicle Access and Use: Two-wheel drive vehicles will be able to drive Bachman Grade Road, Flint Road and Trout Creek Road during DRY conditions as they are well maintained county routes. 4x4 equipped vehicles and/or UTVs are strongly recommended to access two tracks within units and Antelope Ridge Road. Access roads into the unit(s) can be considered rough primitive 2 track roads.

Rubber tire UTVs/ATVs may travel off-road to access the trees. UTV and ATV use may be restricted where needed to protect sensitive plant and animal populations and cultural resources or avoid noxious weed locations.

Only single-pass cross-country travel by UTVs/ATVs would be allowed to avoid creation of trails or visible tracks. Cross country travel by ATV/UTV is not permitted when soils are saturated; travel is only authorized when soils are firm.

Juniper treatment equipment including 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Contractors Representative: Two Contractor Representatives (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. Failure to maintain a Contractor Representative will result in suspension of work until an acceptable on-the-ground Contractor Representative is provided. 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.

11. 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 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 refuse shall be removed from the camp site(s) by the Contractor and disposed of off-site before final payment is made.

TITLE: BOSH Project Maintenance 2022 Page 8

12. Detailed Unit Information: All units are considered remote with limited cellular phone service on site.

The closest location for full services (gas/motel/restaurant/grocery) is 10-30 miles away from the project unit(s) in Jordan Valley, OR or Grandview, ID. Travel time between Jordan Valley and the project unit(s) is estimated at 1 to 2.5 hours depending on the unit. Travel time between Grandview, ID and the project site(s) is estimated at .5 to 2 hours. All travel times are estimates and are dependent on vehicles, speeds, and work location within the respective unit.

Archeological Concerns:

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

TITLE: BOSH Project Maintenance 2022 Page 10

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 known Special Status Plant (SSP) Element Occurrence (EO) “avoidance areas/buffers” will be marked with flagging prior to and during treatment operations where impacts to SSP species may occur.

15. 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.

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