DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

PROJECT: CHALLIS BLM CONTINOUS VEGETATION COVER MAPPING

For

IDAHO FALLS DISTRICT BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT

CHALLIS FIELD OFFICE

The Idaho Falls District BLM has a requirement for Continuous vegetation Cover Mapping and associated data for lands administered by the Challis Field Office

Statement of Work The work involved with this statement of work includes, but is not limited to, furnishing all appropriate personnel, labor, equipment, materials needed to classify and create the continuous vegetation cover map on lands administered by the BLM Challis Field Office in Central Idaho.

1. Introduction: The Challis Field Office (CFO) of the Idaho Falls District, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is acquiring funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) to acquire remote sensing services for lands administered by the CFO.

2. Background: In October of 2022, the CFO submitted proposals for Ecosystem Restoration as part of the FY 23 Bipartisan Infrastructure Legislation to address the climate crisis by making strategic, just, equitable and efficient investments in ecosystem function, resilience, recreation, infrastructure, and adaptability. A project titled “Landscape-Scale Multi-Resource Continuous Vegetation Mapping Challis BLM” was submitted under the Ecosystem Recreation section. The continuous vegetation cover map is a Global information System (GIS) spatially accurate raster data set that classified vegetation based on functional vegetation groups (perennial grass, sagebrush and other shrubs, conifers, annual invasive grasses, and base ground). This provides detailed information about vegetation cover down to the one-meter squared scale (also referenced as one meter pixel). The process used to develop the continuous vegetation cover map is based on and established spatially precise ground-based photos that create a repeatable vegetation record, which can help determine changes to vegetation over time. The ground-based photography is then tied through a proprietary classification method to satellite imagery which in turn creates the continuous vegetation cover map.

3. Purpose: The primary focus of the continuous vegetation cover map is to provide detailed vegetation information to combine with other existing data sets to support informed management decisions. The detailed and quantifiable information the continuous vegetation cover map provides can also help managers set management objectives that can be tracked pre and post treatments and/or management changes. Since the data can be used at multiple scales, it is valuable from the site/pasture scale up to the Field Office and District-wide scale. Examples of the utility of the continuous vegetation cover map range from planning conifer and annual invasive grass treatments, to assessing riparian condition and potential to analyzing livestock distribution with proposed structural range improvements.

4. Location of Project Area: The project encompasses all lands administered by the Challis BLM Field Office (includes State of Idaho, United States Forest Service, and other lands within the administrative boundaries) which totals approximately 792,567 acres of rangeland and forested land types. GIS layers and maps of FO boundaries will be provided upon request.

5. Project Access: The location and access to CFO BLM lands are shown on BLM travel maps. The awarded contractor will work closely with CFO BLM staff for access and route planning during project data collection. If roads or any type of access become subject to damage, because of adverse weather conditions or other natural and/or political reasons, the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will relay information to the contractor, and a Stop Work Order may be implemented by the Contracting Officer (CO) until other access can be decided.

6. Notification of Cessation or Restart of Work: The contractor will notify the COR whenever they intend to cease operations for three or more days and will notify the COR before starting operations after a shutdown of three or more days.

7. Personnel Requirements: The contractor 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 starting work. 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 and project inspector (PI). Failure to maintain a crew foreman will result in suspension of work until a crew foreman is provided. A maximum of five (5) 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 CO issuing a Suspend Work Order. The CO and COR must be informed of any changes in the Crew Foreman.

8. Specifications & Outcomes: Using standards and methods outlined below the following tasks are expected

a. Use spatially referenced, high resolution ground-based photography taken across the CFO as a basis on which to tie ground observations to remote imagery. Photos must be supplied on a digital format as a deliverable.

b. Use of 2023 or later Idaho National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) Imagery (https://naip-usdaonline.hub.arcgis.com/ )to create a continuous vegetation cover map at the 1-meter pixel scale.

c. Deliverables would be based on the entire lands administered by the Challis BLM Field Office (this includes State of Idaho and USFS owned lands within the administration boundary lines of the CFO).

d. Outcome: Create continuous vegetation cover map at the 1-meter pixel for the entire CFO

9. Additional Information

1. 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.

Such conditions usually develop when frozen ground is thawing, when snow is melting, and during or immediately after rainstorms. Any soil and ground disturbance caused by equipment or vehicles during and after operations shall be rehabilitated by the contractor.

2. Weed Prevention: To prevent the spread of invasive weeds, all vehicles and equipment will be washed before being used on the project.

3. Fire Prevention: Primarily for purposes of fire prevention and control, the Contractor shall comply with the following provisions:

A. The Contractor shall comply with all the applicable Idaho State Fire Prevention Laws, Rules, Regulations, and Standards.

B. Prior to starting operations during a closed fire season or periods of high fire danger, the Contractor shall prepare a fire prevention and fire control plan to the satisfaction of the COR.

10. Inspection:

1. The Government COR and/or PI will make periodic inspections as a basis for acceptance and payment and recommendations for adjustment in work quality while work is in progress. The Contractor is encouraged to participate in inspections while they are being conducted.

2. As the basis for payment, inspections for compliance with specifications will be made for work units reported as completed by the contractor.

https://naip-usdaonline.hub.arcgis.com/ https://naip-usdaonline.hub.arcgis.com/

11. Quality Control:

1. The Contractor shall provide access to working datasets, upon request, by the Project

Inspector/Contracting Officer Representative (COR) throughout the length of the contract

2. Final payment shall not be granted until the project is complete to the satisfactory quality standard.

Designation of Contracting Officer’s Representative: The CO shall designate the COR and PI 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.

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 COR.

12. Prework Conference: Prior to the commencement of work, a pre-work conference will be arranged to discuss the contract terms and work performance requirements.
