In the event that larger ruts are created, they will be rehabilitated by filling them in, providing drainage, and seeding as necessary at the Contractors expense.

4.2 Protection: The contractor is required to protect survey monuments from damage. In case of destruction or removal by the contractor, the Government will replace the monuments and the actual cost for replacement will be deducted from payment due the contractor.

4.3 Cutting and Shredding:

4.3.a General: All trees within the treatment areas shall be cut and shredded (masticated). Total acreage to be treated under this contract is 233 acres. The treatment area can be described as relatively flat terrain (< 10% slope) a moderate density of 1” to 14” diameter juniper trees. The majority of the trees are in the 6” – 12” range with multiple stems. Isolated larger trees (14”- 20”) are also present. Some rocks are present and the overall level of difficulty is low.

4.3.b Specific: All project access is to be from existing roads and two-tracks. Machine access to individual treatment sites will originate from these existing roads or along GPS defined cross-country traverses. All Visible pinyon and juniper trees within the designated areas will be mulched while leaving sagebrush untreated (some incidental brush mastication is expected around small trees). Stump height of treated trees and brush will be less than 6". Very small trees or those with very low branches will need to be masticated to ground level in order to remove all branches. It is important that all limbs are removed to insure the tree mortality.

Trees less than 2’ tall may be removed by hand tools or chainsaws and not mulched if desired. If obstacles are encountered, such as rocks or drainages, the Contractor may temporarily increase the stump height to prevent cutter head damage.

4.3.c Vegetation shall be reduced to a mulch material with a minimum of 80% of the woody material less than 1" in diameter and 6" long. The mulch shall be scattered so as to not have piles deeper than 6”.

4.3.d If working within 500’ of a road or two-track, the contractor shall furnish two warning signs to be placed on the roadside prior to entrance to the work area. Signs shall be a minimum of 3 feet by 3 feet in dimension and shall warn of possibility of flying debris.

4.4 Fire Prevention and Liability

4.4.a The Contractor may be held liable for all operator fire starts. The Contractor must follow all applicable state and local fire prevention laws, unless written direction is provided by the Contracting Officer.

4.4.b Contractor at a minimum must:

Operate all internal and external combustion engines on federally managed lands per 36 CFR 261.52, which requires all such engines to be equipped with a qualified spark arrester that is maintained and not modified. Spark Arresters: Shall meet current U.S. Forest Service Standard Spark Arrester Guidelines.

Notify the appropriate dispatch center or 911 immediately of the location and status of any unplanned ignition.

Notify the COR and Contracting Officer immediately of the incident.

5. APPLICATION EVALUATION

Submittals

This contract will be awarded base on a “Low Bid Technically Acceptable” Criteria. Applicants for this contract will need to submit:

Technical Capability and Experience: Include a description of your technical approach and expected timeframe to complete the project, equipment, supervision and personnel.

Two past performance reports showing similar work, in a similar environment, of a similar scale that has been completed before the associated performance evaluations. References shall be for projects completed in the last 3 years. The government may, at it's discretion, base past performance on past knowledge and previous experience with the contractor, supply or service being provided, customer survey or other reasonable basis.

Price: Provide price per acre as well as total cost of the project.

*Note: When combined, price and non-price factors are of equal importance.

6. GOVERNMENT INSPECTIONS:

6.1 The Government will make periodic inspections as a basis for payments and recommendations for adjustments in work quality while work is in progress.

6.2 If deemed necessary by the COR or requested by the contractor, random 1 acre plots will be inventoried to determine the number of missed trees >10” tall and number of masticated trees with limbs still attached to the stem, as well as compliance with the specifications listed in section 4.3. Sufficient plots will be done to obtain at least a one percent (1%) sample of the treated area.

6.3 Each inspection plot will be evaluated for compliance with the above mentioned requirements. Plots meeting all contract specifications will receive 10 points. Plots found to have one contract violation will receive 5 points. Plots found to have two or more contract violations will receive no points. Any plot having a cut or damaged conifer leave tree will receive no points.

6.4 - Work Quality Percentage

6.4.a - The work quality percentage is derived from data developed from inspection plots in the following manner: Divide the total number of points earned by the total number of points possible multiplied by 100 equals the work quality percentage.

EXAMPLE:

Number of plots inspected - 5 Total points possible (10 x 5) - 50 Total points earned - 45 WQP - (45/50) x 100 = 90%

7. ACCEPTANCE

7.1 Work will be accepted or rejected on a unit basis.

7.2 Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) - A minimum AQL of 85 percent Work Quality Level is required.

7.3 Unsatisfactory Work Quality.

Based on inspection results, if a unit falls below the AQL of 85 percent, the Contractor will be given the opportunity to improve the quality of the work. If the quality of the work is not raised to the AQL of 85 percent, the CO may issue a suspend work order to resolve the problem, during which time contract performance time will continue to run.

7.4 REINSPECTION

After the contractor has re-worked areas failing to meet AQL, re-inspection will be performed. If the unit again fails to meet the AQL of 85 percent, the CO has the option of accepting the unit at the work quality percent calculated from inspection plots or of ordering the Contractor to rework the unit again. If the CO elects to accept the unit at the work quality percent calculated after rework, the Contractor will be paid based on the results of the re-inspection.
