Section C – Statement of Work

1. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

This statement of work will be issued as a firm-fixed price contract for Roseburg District Hazard Tree Removal. The project work will focus on improvements for various habitats, developed recreation areas, and roadsides. Improvements will include but are not limited to: 1) removal of identified hazards,

2) creating and/or enhancing habitats, 3) thinning riparian areas (cut and leave), 4) decommissioning roads and skid trails, 5) road, recreational trail and facility improvements, and 6) other riparian management activities.

1.2 Scope of Work

Contractor shall furnish all necessary management, labor, supervision, equipment, materials, transportation, and any other incidentals to perform the work herein.

This work will be completed within the perimeter of the Archie Creek Fire as referenced in the vicinity map and the government estimated quantities table. Multiple mobilizations may be needed but will be discussed with contractor to maximize use of resources and time. It will be incumbent upon the government to identify refuse locations and areas for disposal of slash and excess fuels from hazard tree falling and associated activities.

Resource preservation is of paramount importance. Equipment design and function must be used to minimize resource disturbance. Equipment that does not minimize resource disturbance and/or efficiently meet project objectives may be rejected by the COR. The Contractor is encouraged to propose alternative ways to achieve project objectives but will not be implemented until approved by the COR.

1.3 Objectives

The overall objective of this project is to remove hazards for health and public safety, restore function of developed recreation areas, trail systems and to improve habitat throughout the Archie Creek Fire area.

2. REFERENCES

All applicable documents referenced in this SOW are listed below. Where appropriate, a brief annotation should be provided to indicate the relevance of the document. Reference any specific requirements with regard to the use of these documents in performing the work under this SOW.

Northwestern and Coastal Oregon ROD/Resource Management Plan, 2016, USDI-BLM. This is the overarching management plan for managing BLM-administered land within the Swiftwater Field Office.

3. REQUIREMENTS / EQUIPMENT / TASKS

This section defines the requirements in terms of tasks to be performed, the end results/deliverables to be achieved, within the period of performance as specified in section 1.4.

Initial Mobilization -per piece of equipment- Initial mobilization is defined as the initial movement of a piece of equipment to a project site within the boundaries of the Coos Bay District and Roseburg District

BLM ROSEBURG DISTRICT Page 5 of 71

BLM. The necessary number of mobilizations per piece of equipment will be specified by the COR.

Access to all sites will be by existing paved, gravel, or natural surface roads. Equipment shall be power washed clean of dirt and grease prior to equipment delivery to project site. Equipment cleaning should be included in Initial Mobilization pay item.

Site Mobilization -per piece of equipment - Site mobilization is defined as the transport of heavy equipment from one site to the next via flatbed trailer (low-boy). Project sites must be specified on the same pre-work order. Project sites must be less than 20 miles of the initial site location. The necessary number of site mobilizations will be specified in the pre-work. Should heavy equipment encounter invasive species prior to a site mobilization, equipment may be required to be power washed at an approved on site or near site location.

Project Work Period - All ground-disturbing operations with the potential to impact streams are to be conducted during periods of low stream flow and dry weather. All in-stream work shall follow stream-specific Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) guidelines for the in-water work period unless a waiver is obtained from ODFW and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) by the BLM. These in-water work dates vary by location, but are generally July through mid-September. The COR will designate the appropriate in-water work period for each project. There is some potential for periodic shutdown due to high precipitation and sediment loading at the discretion of the Government Representative. Work periods would be dependent on the Oregon Department of Forestry’s Industrial Fire Precaution Levels.

Equipment Hydraulic Fluid – All equipment operating instream and in riparian areas, and handling materials to be placed instream, will utilize vegetable based or other non-toxic hydraulic fluid. Vegetable based hydraulic fluid or other non-toxic hydraulic fluid must be approved by COR prior to project implementation.

Cable Yarder with Operator

3.1 If trees are determined to be unsafe to cut, lift, or pull, the COR may indicate an alternate tree, or delete the tree from the project without penalty. Use of yarders equipped with traction devices on tracks (lugs or dogs) or rubber tires (chains) or operation of tracked equipment on paved roads requires pre-authorization in writing (email) from the COR prior to mobilization of the equipment.

3.1.1 Trees to be pulled may be as large as 64 inches DBH. Trees to be pulled and repositioned into the channel may range from 25-500 feet from the active stream channel. The number and locations of trees to be pulled over will be identified as part of the pre-work. Trees to be pulled over will be selected by the COR. If the tree selected by the COR is unable to be pulled over the COR may request that the tree be directionally felled instead (jacks may be required in this circumstance).

3.1.2 Trees and trees with root wads attached will be yarded from roadway to be placed in stream channels with one end suspension where equipment access is limited. Trees and trees with root wads may be yarded up to 1,000 feet. Trees and trees with root wads may then be re-positioned in the stream channel. When yarding trees with root wad attached minimize ground disturbance and damage by suspending the root wad end of the log the greatest extent practicable.

BLM ROSEBURG DISTRICT Page 6 of 71

3.1.3 Refuse such as cars, tires, appliances, and other collected items may be yarded from remote locations.

Excavator with Operator

3.2 Whole trees shall be uprooted at collection sites and stockpiled for loading and transport.

Preservation of rootwads is imperative; loosening roots system from ground may require additional efforts such as ground soaking or other mechanical loosening around the root system. Logs and root wads shall be moved from the collection site or stockpile locations and along roads that lead to instream project sites. Moving logs and rood wads to stream must be effective and efficient using as few passes as possible with intent to minimize effects to the riparian area resources. The excavator should use hydraulic thumb with teeth, grapples, log tongs, and/or chokers to lift, swing, and place logs and root wads.

3.2.1 Rock shall be moved from stockpile locations or from the adjacent road side drop sites to the access trails with the front-end loader and or excavator and placed in the streams with the excavator.

Boulder size classes shall be installed individually, in clusters, adjacent to logs as anchors or with log placement to form cascades, and to create weirs. In addition, some material shall be placed along banks for bank protection and cover. Most boulders will be 2-5 feet across with varying depths and heights but some boulders may be more than 6 feet across.

3.2.2 Some areas of stream beds shall be excavated to create pool or jump pool habitat. Excavated materials may be used to armor neighboring structures or may be placed away from stream channels as required by the COR. The excavator may also be used in some areas to create off-channel rearing habitats.

3.2.3 The Contractor shall construct access trails for movement of the equipment and material to the stream channel. These trails will be flagged and pre-designated by the COR. Any deviation from the marked trails must be approved by the COR. Soil, rock, boulders, small trees, and brush may require clearing. All access construction shall be accomplished with due regard for environmental considerations. Slash mats may be required to minimize soil compaction and trail width. Operations within the stream channel shall involve movement over stream bed, banks, and bedrock, and through water approximately three (3) feet in depth.

3.2.4 All access roads, skid trails, and skid roads shall be decommissioned after use. Decommissioning may occur via aquatic and riparian habitat restoration activities. Decommissioning shall include excavator tillage to a depth ranging from 15-24 inches and placing organics, trees, and brush along the skid trails/roads and equipment access routes. Tillage may occur with the use of the modified ripper shanks or, bucket with a maximum of one cubic yard capability with rock teeth and hydraulic thumb.

Where tillage is not appropriate, waterbars, drain-dips or lead-off ditches shall be created to direct surface water from the road prism to the forest floor. Skid trails shall be restored to the original contour. The Contractor shall install an earthen, boulder, or log barricades at locations specified by the COR to block the road from future motorized traffic. Government provided native seed and mulch shall be used on all bare soil created during project implementation.

3.2.5 New culvert installation (cross drain and small streams crossings) shall occur on recreational trails and BLM managed roads. Culvert sizing and designs will be specified at pre-work. The contractor shall

BLM ROSEBURG DISTRICT Page 7 of 71 replace cross drain and small stream crossings. Culverts removed by the contractor shall be recycled appropriately. A flow diversion/de-watering structure shall be utilized under certain circumstances.

Log Truck with Operator and Self-Loader with Operator

3.3 Logs from designated log storage yards or along existing roads or landings within the Coos Bay or Roseburg Districts shall be transported to the project location as specified by the COR. Log storage areas may include several locations and unloading of logs may also include several different locations within the project area. Transported log lengths and weights shall be within legal limits for state and local transportation regulations. Occasionally, logs with rootwads shall be transported.

Dump Truck with Operator and Rock

3.4 Contractor-furnished rock shall be delivered to designated project site locations as described at pre-work. Graded mixed stream and quarry rock size will vary from 3/4 inch minus to 6 feet in diameter on the longest axis with varying heights and depths. Individual rocks will not exceed 3 cubic yards. The Government retains discretion over rock source to assure efficiency, rock competency/quality, and invasive species control.

3.4.1 The Contractor shall provide an excavator or front-end loader to the quarry, when no services are otherwise available, for loading rock into the dump trucks. All dump trucks shall have the capability of hauling at least 10 cubic yards of rock, and be able to dump boulders at project sites without further assistance from the excavator or front-end loader.

3.4.2 For some projects, the contractor may be responsible for end-hauling of waste material to designated waste sites.

3.4.3 Contractor shall be responsible for the delivery of new culverts to project sites, or, removed culverts to be recycled.

Sawyer/Tree-climber

3.5 A sawyer/tree-climber will be identified at pre-work for each specific project. A tree climber will be expected to operate a chainsaw, set chokers, and perform other task while aloft in tree. A variety of choker lengths may be needed to accomplish log movement by the excavator, skidder, or front end loader. The choker cable shall be hooked and unhooked to the excavator/loader bucket by the choker-setter/sawyer. In some cases this material shall be cut (bucked to sizes designated by the COR) by the sawyer to facilitate its placement into the stream. The sawyer shall be equipped to cut logs up to 64 inches in diameter.

3.5.1 In addition a sawyer shall be needed for projects which contain developed recreation sites, roadside hazard trees, or riparian thinning. Sawyers shall cut trees specified by the COR within the riparian area. Trees will be up to 64 inches and may consist of hardwoods or conifers. No hang ups shall be left in place. Directional felling of trees will be required. Stump height will be minimized to industry standard.

3.5.2 As part of the tree pulling, a choker/setter will be required to complete the tasks. If the tree selected by the COR is unable to be pulled over then the COR may request that the tree be cut instead.

BLM ROSEBURG DISTRICT Page 8 of 71

3.5.3 Large wood source material will come from forest stands, blowdown sites, riparian areas, and roadsides. A sawyer will be necessary to fall, buck, and limb trees so that it can be moved to a specific stream location. In some instances cutting the tree into several pieces may be necessary. The sawyer shall be equipped to cut logs up to 64 inches in diameter.

3.5.4 Tree climbing will generally be needed for tree pulling activities in order to set the choker, shackle, cables, or other connecting equipment at a sufficient height, generally ½ tree height, to efficiently lever the tree down with yarding equipment/excavators.

3.5.5 All trees used for tail-holds shall be padded, cribbed, strapped or otherwise protected to avoid severe cambium damage. No more than 50 percent of the cambium at the bole at the point of disturbance is exposed. Notching shall occur only when necessary and shall not remove more than 50 percent of the cambium at the bole at the point of disturbance.

Rubber Tired Front End Loader with Operator

3.6 Logs and root wads may be moved (yarded) from the adjacent road side or stockpile locations or thinning locations to the access trails with the front-end loader as identified by the COR. Log size will be up to 64 inches in diameter and up to 80 feet in length. A variety of choker lengths may be needed to accomplish log movement.

3.6.1 Boulders shall be moved from stockpile locations or from the adjacent road side drop sites to the access trails with the front-end loader and placed in the streams with the excavator. Most boulders will be 2-5 feet across with varying depths and heights but some boulders may be more than 6 feet across on the long axis.

Rubber-Tired Skidder with Operator

3.7 Logs and root wads or trees with rootwads may be moved from the adjacent road side or stockpile locations or thinning locations to the access trails with the skidder. Some logs, down trees, logs with rootwads and rootwads shall be pulled (yarded) to the stream channel with the rubber tired skidder as identified by the COR. Source trees may be thinned from nearby areas or be trucked in and stockpiled.

The skidder shall transport these trees from the source location to the structure site area. A variety of choker lengths may be needed to accomplish log movement. Log size will be up to 64 inches in diameter and up to 80 feet in length.

Track Dozer with Operator

3.8 The contractor shall be required to temporarily open an old road in order for the excavator to remove cross drain and stream crossing culverts. The dozer shall construct drain dips throughout the decommissioned road segment to aid with road drainage.

3.8.1 Rock shall be moved from stockpile locations or from the adjacent road side drop sites to the access trails with the dozer and placed in the streams with the excavator. Most processed rock will range from 3/4 inch minus to 6 inch diameter. Most boulders will be 2-5 feet across with varying depths and heights but some boulders may be more than 6 feet across.

SECTION G – CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

The following local clauses are provided in full text:

CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM (JULY 2010)

(a) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR42.15.

(b) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

(c) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official. The report information must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

(d) When your Contractor Representative(s) (Past Performance Points of Contact) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically-generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://cpars.gov/. The CPARS User Manual, registration for On Line Training for Contractor Representatives, and a practice application may be found at this site.

(e) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the Contracting Officer will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at https://cpars.gov/ Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment. Comments are limited to the space provided in Block 22. Your comments should focus on objective facts in the Assessing Official's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance. In addition to the ratings and supporting narratives, blocks 1 - 17 should be reviewed for accuracy, as these include key fields that will be used by the Government to identify your firm in future source selection actions. If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating ''No comment" in Block 22, and then signing and dating Block 23 of the form. Without a statement in Block 22, you will be unable to sign and submit the evaluation back to the Government. If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 30 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: "The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment." Your response is due within 30 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR.

(f) The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

(1) Protect the evaluation as "source selection information." After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the Contracting Officer for instructions.

(2) Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

BLM ROSEBURG DISTRICT Page 13 of 71

(3) Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, preaward surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

(g) If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the Contracting Officer no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 30- day review period.

(h) A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.

The contractor is advised that friable and/or non-friable asbestos-containing material may be encountered in project areas. Friable asbestos-containing material is any material that contains more than one percent asbestos by weight, and that hand pressure can crumble, pulverize or reduce to powder when dry. Non-friable asbestos containing materials are materials in which asbestos fibers are bound by a matrix material, saturation, impregnation or coating.

Non-friable asbestos-containing materials do not normally release airborne asbestos fiber during routine handling and end-use. However, excessive fiber concentrations may be produced during uncontrolled abrading, sanding, drilling, cutting, machining, removal, demolition, or other similar activities. 29 CFR

1910.1001 shall be referenced in the event asbestos-containing materials are encountered. Friable asbestos-containing materials are not authorized for use in new construction or maintenance projects.

FIRE REQUIREMENTS PROCEDURES OUTLINE

This outline covers the fire protection requirements of a contractor or private party who performs service or construction contracts on BLM land. In western Oregon, the BLM allows Oregon Forest Law (ORS) and Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) to apply to these operations on BLM lands rather than develop similar rules applicable only to BLM lands.

1. CLOSED FIRE SEASON

The closed fire season means that fire season has been declared. ORS 477.505 gives the State Forester the authority to establish the fire season. The authority has been delegated to the District Foresters around the state who issue public notices through the newspapers and radio when fire season will be closed for their individual districts.

Closed fire season depends upon the drying of forest fuels, rainfall, and time of year. During the closed fire season, the following requirements must be met:

Fire tools must be on site;

Fire extinguisher must be in all vehicles;

Chainsaws must have a .023-inch mesh screen installed in the exhaust;

Only unmodified saws are to be used in the forest;

Approved spark arresters must be on all internal combustion engines;

Watchman service must be provided for 3 hrs after shutdown of power equipment for the day;

No smoking is permitted while working or traveling through any operations area in the forest;

No use of explosives is permitted unless approved by the State Forester's representative;

Permits to burn are required unless waived by a representative of the State Forester.

Permits to operate power-driven machinery shall be obtained by the Contractor prior to commencing operations unless waived by a representative of the State Forester (ORS 47.625).

Changes or modifications to the above requirements are possible depending upon changes in State of Oregon law and requirements of the State Districts and Protective Associations.

2. FIRE PRECAUTION LEVELS

There are 4 fire precaution levels that begin with level 1 at the start of the closed fire season and can go through level 4 if conditions warrant. The fire precaution levels restrict certain forest operations as the fire danger increases.

It is the responsibility of the individual operating on forest land to know the precaution level for the day and take the correct fire precautions. There are no precaution levels prior to the closed fire season. Each fire precaution level requires adherence to the restrictions applicable to all lower levels in addition to the limits placed by that level.

Level 1 is the lowest level of fire danger usually occurring early in the season and perhaps again after significant rainfall during the season. All requirements listed above apply. Waivers may be issued by the State Districts or Protective Associations and these MUST be approved by the BLM. Waivers will only be considered if the conditions on the work site are not as severe as predicted. The requirements for fire tools on site, screens installed in saws, and fire extinguishers with saws will not be waived.

Level 2 is the partial hootowl where saws can operate from first light in the morning until 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon.

From 1:00 p.m. until the end of the day saws are to be shut down. Waivers for operating beyond the 1:00 p.m.

shutdown will be evaluated on a site-by-site basis.

Level 3 is the partial shutdown of all forest industrial operations and shuts down contractor operations with few exceptions. Waivers may be issued on a site-by-site basis.

Level 4 is the general shutdown of all contractor operations. Waivers will not be issued. Landowners are permitted entry into their lands.

BLM ROSEBURG DISTRICT Page 18 of 71

ORS. 477.066 requires that an operator on forest land take immediate action to control and extinguish a fire on forest land. The contractor shall take this action and notify the BLM and the nearest State of Oregon District office immediately.

OAR. 629-43-030 requires watchmen to be:

Physically capable and experienced in operating any firefighting equipment on site.

On duty for 3 hours after the shutdown of the last power-driven equipment for the day.

Furnished adequate facilities for transportation and communications in order to summon assistance if needed.

Patrolling and visually inspecting all sites where work was done during the day.
