DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

IDAHO FALLS DISTRICT BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT

CHALLIS FIELD OFFICE

STATEMENT OF WORK

BALDY BASIN AND DRY GULCH LOP AND SCATTER PROJECTS

1. Introduction: The Salmon Field Office (SFO) of the Idaho Falls District, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is acquiring vegetation management services to treat vegetation to improve aspen stand health in the Baldy Basin area. Additionally, the Challis Field Office (CFO) is acquiring fuels management services to treat vegetation to improve sagebrush steppe health in the Dry Gulch area.

2. Background: The Baldy Basin project area generally consists of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) trees encroaching into aspen stands. The main goal of the Baldy Basin project is to reduce the foliar cover of Douglas-fir trees to increase resources available for aspen growth. The Dry Gulch project area generally consists of Douglas-fir and Rocky Mountain juniper (Juniperus scopulorum) trees encroaching into sagebrush steppe habitat. One of the main goals of the Dry Gulch project is to reduce the cover of Douglas-fir and juniper trees, thus improving the health of the sagebrush steppe and enhancing habitat for the greater sage-grouse and other sagebrush obligate species. The methods that will be used to reduce Douglas-fir, lodgepole, and juniper tree cover in both project areas include utilizing hand crews to cut down the trees.

3. Purpose: The Contractor will furnish all tools, labor, supervision, equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, training, and incidentals necessary to accomplish the removal of trees in accordance with the specifications provided. The purpose of this contract is to improve both aspen stand habitat and sagebrush steppe health.

4. Scope of Work: The Baldy Basin was developed to improve aspen stand quality and habitat. The Dry Gulch project was developed to reduce cover of Douglas-fir and juniper trees, which are encroaching on historic sagebrush steppe habitat, as well as improve sagebrush steppe habitat.

5. Location of Project Areas: All work will be performed on land administered by the Bureau of Land Management. Geo-referenced maps will be included with each Task Order. See aerial photo and topographic maps for general location of project area. The Baldy Basin project area is located in T 19N R 23E sections 19, 20, 21, 22, 28, and 29. The Dry Gulch Project is located in T 10N R 21E sections 17, 20, and 21.

6. Project Boundary Marking: The location and access to the areas are shown on the work location and project location maps. The Baldy Basin project area shall not be marked with flagging. All conifer trees to be cut are within approximately 50 feet of aspen stands. The Dry Gulch project area shall be marked with flagging if requested by the contractor. Project areas may also be marked by changes in vegetation, roads, topography changes, or streams. If these types of project area boundaries are used, the contractor will be notified. The boundaries can be adjacent timber stands, recent harvest units, or other natural or manmade features that clearly define the boundary as noted on the project area maps.

7. Access: Legal public access to the project area will be identified on a map prior to the contractor starting the implementation phase. Seasonal road closures may exist (contractor will be notified of closures upon award). Contractor will assume responsibility for any additional access if desired. If roads or any type of access become subject to damage, because of adverse weather conditions or other natural and or political 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 decided.

8. Notification of Cessation or Restart of work: The Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) whenever he/she intends to cease operations for three or more days and will notify the COR before starting operations after a shutdown of three or more days.

9. Personnel Requirements: The crew is responsible for maintaining a safe working environment following OSHA standards. The Contractor must attend the pre-work meeting and provide a written performance plan including crew size prior to beginning work.

10. Crew Foreman: A crew foreman must be on-site directing work at all times. This person will also serve as an on the ground contact person for the COR/PI. Failure to maintain a crew foreman will result in suspension of work until a crew foreman is provided. A maximum of three (3) days will be allowed to produce a qualified foreman. Failure to produce a qualified on-the-ground foreman within five days may result in the Contracting Officer (CO) issuing a Suspend Work Order. CO and COR must be informed of any changes in Crew Foreman.

11. Detailed Unit Information: The Baldy Basin project area consists of Douglas-fir and lodgepole pine trees encroaching into aspen stands. The total acreage for the Baldy Basin unit is approximately 134 acres.

The Dry Gulch project area consists of Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine, and juniper trees scattered in sagebrush steppe habitat. The total acreage for the Dry Gulch unit is approximately 473 acres.

Because of the scattered nature of the vegetation, not all acres within the established boundaries of the units will require the same amount of labor to achieve the specifications outlined below. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor (i.e. knowledge and experience of the crew leader) to determine the quantity of work needed to meet specifications identified in this SOW. Acreage of the unit was determined by calculations based on a horizontal plane using GIS technology.

12. Work Camps: Camping on agency-administered lands will only be allowed at developed campgrounds and with the prior approval of the BLM. Should such a work camp be authorized, the Contractor shall maintain the camp in an orderly and sanitary manner. All fire regulations and permits shall be followed. All garbage and refuse shall be removed from the camp site by the Contractor and disposed of off-site before final payment is made.

13. Specifications for Treatment of Trees Species to be cut:

ii. Severed trees are not completely limbed.

iii. Cut vegetation is not evenly spread and exceeds twelve (12) inches in depth.

iv. Cut vegetation exceeds four (4) feet in length.

v. Trees that were not cut.

Determination of Work Quality Percentage:

Work quality percentages are derived from data developed from inspection plots. The final work quality percentage times the bid price determines the pay. A work quality percentage of 90 percent or higher will result in full payment. If high stumps or uncut surplus trees are the primary reason for unsatisfactory work, the Contractor shall rework areas designated by the Government until satisfactory work quality is obtained.

Acceptance

1. Satisfactory Work Quality: A minimum work quality standard of 90 percent is required.

2. Unsatisfactory Work Quality: Based on inspection results, if the work quality percentage falls below 90 percent, the Contracting Officer will immediately notify the Contractor in writing and instruct the Contractor to improve the quality of the work. If the quality of the work is not raised to an acceptable level within two consecutive workdays after written notification, the Contracting Officer may issue a stop work order.

Designation of Contracting Officer’s Representative: The CO shall designate the COR and project inspectors. The COR is 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 documentation executed by the CO prior to completion of the contract.

Interested parties should take reasonable steps to ascertain the nature and location of the contract area and the work to be completed, as well as the general and local site conditions which can affect the work and cost of performance. Failure to take the actions described in this paragraph will not relieve the Contractor from the responsibility of properly estimating the difficulty and cost to successfully perform the work, or from successful completion of the work without additional expense to the Government. For further information, please contact Hannah Alverson at halverson@blm.gov or 208-756-5402.
