PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

SECTION I - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

SCOPE OF CONTRACT

The contractor shall provide all materials, labor, equipment, tools, transportation, supervision, expertise, and other incidentals necessary to successfully complete vegetation management practices within the boundaries of the Kisatchie National Forest. Work includes tasks and subtasks related to herbicide application, tree planting, manual treatments with hand tools, red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) inserts, mechanical treatments, and botanical and wildlife inventories on national forest land.

PROJECT LOCATION

a) The project is located on Ranger Districts of the Kisatchie NF, with headquarters in Pineville, LA.

b) Specific locations, unit data, and maps will be supplied with each BPA Call. Most boundaries have been previously marked by hanging flags on trees or by orange paint slashes on sides of trees, spaced approximately 20 to 100 feet apart, around each area. Others may have fences, roads, timber age changes, or natural structures which have been used as boundaries.

c) Acreages listed on each BPA Call will have been determined by closed traverse, planimeter, or global positioning system (GPS). For purposes of this contract, quantities listed on each BPA Call are considered actual acreage and not an estimate.

PROJECT ACCESS

a) The project area shall be accessed by Forest Service Roads. The Forest Service assumes no obligation to perform any special maintenance in order to keep roads open. Stands are accessible by some combination of 2- or 4-wheel drive vehicle and foot travel.

b) The National Forest’s Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) for the individual Ranger Districts (available upon award) provides open road information. The Contractor will be issued a Forest Service key in order to access those roads that are seasonally closed by gates. Forest Service roads that are permanently closed by earthen berms or some other obstruction will have to be accessed by foot or, if available, UTV.

c) Contractors are subject to the same rules as Forest Service personnel regarding the use of off-road vehicles and must use only utility task vehicles (UTV) or side by sides. These vehicles differ from all-terrain vehicles (ATV) in that UTV payloads run from 800 to 1,350 pounds above the operator/passenger’s weight.

UTV also have roll-over protection and seat belts unlike ATV.

d) If the contractor must unlock a gate, the Contractor is required to relock the gate upon entry and egress.

WORK PERFORMANCE TIME

All work shall be performed during the time period of one-half hour after sunrise to one-half hour before sunset, Monday through Friday, unless time changes are approved by the COR. Completion dates/contract time will be designated within individual BPA Call.

SALVAGE RIGHTS

No salvage rights exist under this contract.

RE-MEASUREMENT

The Contractor may at any time after issuance of a BPA Call request re-measurement of an area in writing.

Payment will be based on the re-measured acreage, except no adjustment shall be made for less than 1 acre.

The Contractor shall pay for the cost of re-measurement if the resultant increase is less than 10 percent. Method of re-measurement will be determined by the Government.

Vegetation Management/Wildlife Protection Services Page 15 of 93

PAYMENT

Payment for performed work will be based on actual acres completed by the Contractor and accepted by the Government.

PERFORMANCE OF SIMILAR WORK BY GOVERNMENT

Nothing in this contract restricts the Government from performing any of the work with its own organization and workforce.

CONTRACTOR REPRESENTATIVE

The contractor shall provide a contract representative for the performance of the work. The name of this person and an alternate(s) who shall act for the contractor when the contractor is absent shall be designated in writing to the contracting officer. The contractor representative or alternate shall have full authority to act for the contractor on all contract matters relating to daily operation of this contract. The contractor representative and alternate(s) must be able to read, write, speak, understand English, and communicate with his crews.

PROTECTION OF EXISTING VEGETATION, STRUCTURES, EQUIPMENT, UTILITIES, AND

IMPROVEMENTS

a) The Contractor shall preserve and protect all structures, equipment, and vegetation (such as trees, shrubs, and grass) on or adjacent to the work site, which are not to be removed and which do not unreasonably interfere with the work required under this contract. The Contractor shall only remove trees when specifically authorized to do so, and shall avoid damaging vegetation that will remain in place.

b) The Contractor shall protect from damage all existing improvements and utilities (1) at or near the work site, and (2) on adjacent property of a third party, the locations of which are made known to or should be known by the Contractor. The Contractor shall repair any damage to those facilities, including those that are the property of a third party, resulting from failure to comply with the requirements of this contract or failure to exercise reasonable care in performing the work. If the Contractor fails or refuses to repair the damage promptly, the Contracting Officer may have the necessary work performed and charge the cost to the Contractor.

Cleaning Up The Contractor shall at all times keep the work area, including storage areas, free from accumulations of waste materials. Before completing the work, the Contractor shall remove from the work and premises any rubbish, tools, equipment, and materials that are not the property of the Government. Upon completing the work, the Contractor shall leave the work area in a clean, neat, and orderly condition satisfactory to the Contracting Officer.
