-Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.4(g), the Contractor must notify the authorized officer, by telephone, with written confirmation, immediately upon the discovery of human remains, funerary items, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony on federal land. Further, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.4 (c) 41 and (d), the Contractor must stop activities in the vicinity of the discovery that could adversely affect the discovery. The Contractor shall make a

Solicitation No. 140L3726Q0065 Page 11 of 25 reasonable effort to protect the human remains, funerary items, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony for a period of thirty days after written notice is provided to the authorized officer, or until the authorized officer has issued a written notice to proceed, whichever occurs first.

C10.0 PAYMENT

10.1 Work Quality Acceptance

1. Work will be accepted or rejected on each treatment area.

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

3. Unsatisfactory Work Quality

a. Based on inspection results, if the treatment falls below the AQL of 85 percent, the

CO 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 the AQL of 85 percent after written notification, the CO may issue a suspend work order to resolve the problem, during which time contract performance time will continue to run.

b. If untreated surplus vegetation is the primary reason for unsatisfactory work, the area may be reworked to obtain satisfactory work quality.

4. Re-inspection – If the contracted work falls below the AQL of 85 percent, rework will be required. When instructed by the COR, the Contractor shall rework the treatment area for re-inspection by the COR/PI. If the treatment area again fails to meet the AQL of 85 percent, the CO has the option of ordering the Contractor to rework the treatment area again or seek other remedies.

The Contractor shall be charged for all the COR/PI re-inspection costs. The COR/PI re-inspection costs will include, but may not be limited to, personnel costs, transportation costs, and overhead administrative costs of 21%.

10.2 Payment

Payment will be based on the COR/PI inspection results by unit. The Contractor's inspection results are to be used as a guide for the Contractor's use in complying with contract specifications and not as a basis for payment. Payment will be made for the actual number of acres completed, inspected and accepted by the COR/PI.
