Statement of Work

“Remove Hazardous tree and limbs at KEMO”

The U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, located in Kennesaw, GA, has a requirement to remove hazardous and potentially hazardous trees throughout the park.

Statement of Services 1.

Project Site:

Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park 905 Kennesaw Mountain Drive, Kennesaw, GA, 30152.

2. Background:

Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park preserves a Civil War battlefield of the Atlanta Campaign. The battle was fought here from June 18, 1864 until July 2, 1864. There are 4 battlefield areas at the park: The Kolb farm area, Visitor Center including the top of Kennesaw Mountain, off Burnt Hickory Road and the main site is located at Cheatham Hill. The Visitor Center provides introductory information about the park and the battle. While walking some of the 18+ miles of interpretive walking trails you will see historic earthworks, cannon emplacements and various interpretive signs. There are 3 monuments representing states that fought here. Kennesaw Mountain is 1808 feet above sea level. It is approximately a 700-foot incline from the Visitor Center to the mountain's summit. The hike up is approximately 1.4 miles on the road and 1.2 mile up the trail. Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park was authorized for protection by the War Department in 1917 and was transferred to the Department of the Interior as a unit of the National Park System in 1933. The 2992+- acre park includes the site of some of the heaviest fighting of the Atlanta Campaign. The park was set aside as an important cultural property dedicated to public inspiration and interpretation of the significant historic events that occurred here.

3.0 General Statement of Work:

The purpose of this Statement of Work is to establish a contract for the removal of hazardous trees and limbs on the Visitor Center grounds, Kennesaw Mountain Trail and Little Kennesaw Mountain trail at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. The work will be ordered, as needed by the National Park Service (NPS) approximately once per month. Trees will range from 16 inches to 24 inches in diameter and up to 100+ feet high. Trees will need to be cut down and debris chipped and/or moved from park boundaries, roads, parking lots and trails as order by the NPS. Tree stumps shall be cut at ground level. Of particular concern in these cutting operations is the protection of the historic earthworks. These earthen fortifications date back to the battle here and are a major resource to be protected within the park boundaries. These earthworks are particularly vulnerable to damage by the operation of both the tracked and wheeled vehicles which are often used in timbering operations. It is essential and mandatory that the contractor meet with the COTR and representatives of the park’s interpretive staff before operations begin in any new area, so they can be shown what these earthworks look like and discuss how best to protect them. Park employees has marked 25+- to 40- trees each month to be removed. A total of 237 hazardous trees will need to be removed. This contract will last 10 to 12 months. Contractor will start mid-2021 and finish in mid-2022.

3.1. Work Descriptions:

Tree Removal: Removed trees and debris shall be fallen safely to prevent injury of workers and/or visitors using the adjacent areas. When ordered by the NPS, tree debris and limbs will be chipped and hauled to a NPS approved area for disposal. When chipping is not ordered by the NPS, the contractor will spread tree debris and limbs evenly across the area of disposal. The contractor may harvest large trees and limbs that they actively remove. Salvaged wood, should the contractor choose to re-utilize the material, will be removed immediately after felling, chipping and bucking of individual trees.

Removed/harvested trees are the property of the contractor.

Trail Trimming: Temporary trail closures of one hour or less are permissible for public safety reasons. Closures longer than one hour must be scheduled and approved by the NPS prior to closure and the commencement of the work. Special care must be taken to prevent damage to the surrounding area or adjacent trees, brush and other vegetation. The contractor will post appropriate warning signs indicating the removal process is underway.

Limb Trimming: The contractor may be required to trim the area prism of large limbs and other overhead (or horizontal) obstacles that could prevent the safe use of those roads, parking lots, trails or adjacent public use areas. The area prism also includes horizontal limbs or obstructions that protrude into the vertical plane from the trail tread sides, roads, parking lots or adjacent public use areas.

Climbing of trees may be required to accomplish some trimming work.

Desired Results: With the completion of the tree and limb removal project at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, trees and limbs order by the NPS shall be removed and/or chipped and spread in the area of disturbance and the worksites will show little indication of that removal. Stumps ultimately shall be cut at ground level. Park boundaries, roads, parking lots and trails will be free of hazardous trees that may interfere with safe use of those areas.

The plan shall list the specific equipment availability, crew(s) (size and composition) proposed to work concurrently, any other available resources, and daily production rate required in accordance with the attached Statement of Work (SOW). A rating of either “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” will be assigned to this non-price factor. The standard for this factor is met and is acceptable when the responses provided by the Quoter can support a complete understanding of the work to be performed, potential obstacles and mitigation, and the specific requirements that are to be met to successfully complete the contract within the time required, and presents low or no risk to the Government. Technical factor shall be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis (See table below).
