DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

Bruneau-Owyhee Sage-Grouse Habitat (BOSH) Project 2023

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.

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:

Rat West Unit: 8,987 Acres. Lop and Leave. Contractor will be required to hand sever western juniper trees regardless of size or tree status within the unit boundaries.

Rough-Rat East Unit: 11,291 Acres. Lop and Leave. Contractor will be required to hand sever western juniper trees regardless of size or tree status within the unit boundaries.

Thistle Unit: 6,920 Acres. Lop and Leave. Contractor will be required to hand sever western juniper trees regardless of size or tree status within the unit boundaries.

Long Tom Unit: 5,959 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 central Owyhee County, approximately 35 miles SE of Jordan Valley, Oregon or 20-35 miles SW of Grandview, Idaho. Main roads to access the units: Mud Flat Road and Antelope Ridge Road. Numerous unimproved roads and trails stem from these main roads and provide additional access routes.

6. Project Boundary Marking: The location and access to the unit(s) are shown on the vicinity and unit map(s). The unit boundaries will not be flagged by the Government prior to the contract. The contractor should use electronic devices (phone or GPS), roads, fences, and maps provided by the Government to delineate unit boundaries. The contractor is solely responsible for staying within the unit boundaries.

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

TITLE: BIL BOSH PROJECT - LOP AND LEAVE 2023 Page 8

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 will 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 required 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 preidentified 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.

12. Detailed Unit Information: All units are considered remote with no cellular phone service on site. The closest location for full services (gas/motel/restaurant/grocery) is 35 miles away from the project unit(s) in Jordan Valley, OR. Grandview, ID has limited services including fuel and food (no hotels). Travel time between Jordan Valley and the project unit(s) is estimated to be at least 2 hours depending on the unit.

From Grandview, ID travel time to the units is estimated at 1.5 hours. All travel times are estimates and are dependent on vehicles, speeds, and work location within the perspective unit.

(c) Comply with all applicable State and Federal laws and regulations pertaining to water quality in connection with any operations under this contract.

TITLE: BIL BOSH PROJECT - LOP AND LEAVE 2023 Page 12

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.

Up to 250 acres within the cutting units are considered priority due to follow up treatments (machine piling).

These areas are located near Mud Flat Road and shall be cut prior to September 15th. Maps of the priority cutting areas will be provided upon award of this contract.

Contractor shall have a means of communicating with fire dispatch (e.g. satellite phone, text capable SPOT/Garmin device, cell phone WITH SERVICE) within 5 minutes of a fire start at all times during operational shift.

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 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.

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

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.
