9.2 Government’s Quality Assurance Plan

The Government will monitor progress to ensure that the Contractor is providing the quality promised in their Quality Control Plan and that work meets performance standards. Visual observation will be used.

The Government reserves the right, if deemed necessary to ensure compliance with the contract, to measure performance using standard forestry measurements (basal area plots, tree and other measurements) to randomly inspect contractor’s work. Each contract Payment Unit will be inspected separately, and the results will not be averaged.

Government inspections will be documented on Daily Diaries and placed in the contract file. Additional inspection forms (Basal Area check plots) will be used to document inspection elements and will be attached to Contract Daily Diaries. If work in part of an Area does not meet the Acceptable Quality Level given above, a Notice of Non-Compliance will be issued to the Contractor. The CO may issue other cure notices if work is not being performed in a timely manner or does not comply with contract specifications.

Upon completion of an Area and notification by the Contractor, the COR or designated Inspector shall make an overall inspection of that Area. If a need for remedial work prior to acceptance is reflected by the COR/Inspector’s overall inspection, or by plot sample results, such remedial work will be performed before the Contractor moves to the next Area. If the inspection results in acceptance of the Area, the Contractor may immediately proceed with work on the next area.

10. PRE-WORK MEETING

The contract will be administered by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer will designate a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for the purpose of insuring compliance with the specifications and provisions of this contract.

Prior to commencement of work, the Contracting Officer or COR will arrange a meeting with the Contractor to discuss the contract terms and work performance requirements. The work progress schedule submitted with the bid package will be reviewed at this meeting.

Before work starts, preferably at the pre-work conference, the Contractor shall designate in writing a person to act for them in their absence. The Contractor or their designated representative will be available on site or by telephone while work is in progress.

In the absence of the Contractor, their authorized representative will take action as required to keep the job in progress under terms of the contract. The presence of the COR on the job will not relieve the Contractor of responsibility of satisfactory performance.

The pre-work meeting may also include a technical familiarization phase. This will provide the contractor with the opportunity to become acquainted with Forest Service protocol for marking leave trees and timber marking paint accountability procedures.

12. CONFIDENTIAL NATURE OF INFORMATION AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The Contractor shall not divulge and shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that no member of its organization divulges, any information concerning this Timber Data to any person other than those duly authorized representatives of the Contracting Officer.

SPECIFIC TECHNICAL UNIT SPECIFICATIONS

Quote Item #1 – Leave Tree Marking

5.1.4 Leave Tree Marking – First Thinnings

Leave trees will be selected and marked based on the description in each individual Cruise Plan. Leave trees will be selected and marked so that the desired basal area/acre (BA) and spacing would result after harvest. (See Leave Tree Preference Guidelines below).

Silvicultural Prescriptions and Marking Guides for Leave Tree Marking:

The leave square feet of basal area per acre by treatment area is as displayed in the chart below. The leave trees are to be left evenly distributed throughout the stands. The following table shows the stands in the treatment area as identified in the NEPA documentation.

Bigwoods Leave Tree Marking Page 10 of 34

Totals 4 PU 409 acres

For all treated stands the following requirements for marking leave trees apply:

• Orange paint shall be sprayed in a two (2) inch wide or larger band around the bole of the trees to be left at or above eye level.

• Stump marks shall be at ground level, at the lowest point to the ground possible at the base of the tree. Often there will be a buildup of pine straw or other material which will need to be kicked out of the way to get to ground level. Stump marks are to be placed inside fluted portions of the stem, one spot at least three inches in diameter is required.

Leave Tree Selection Preference:

General Leave tree Guidelines – Leave trees will be the best quality pines according to criteria listed below, and they will be uniformly distributed as much as possible, although spacing between leave trees is secondary to tree quality. Priority will be given in the order listed below. In some stands, it will be common to have more good quality trees available than what is needed to make the leave basal area. In that case, preference will be given to spacing, i.e. leaving trees that are more uniformly spaced.

Hardwoods will be left unmarked.

Leave trees will be:

• Shortleaf pine, longleaf pine, or loblolly pine in that order of preference.

• Dominant or codominant crown classes. However, tall, well-formed, intermediate shortleaf pines will be favored over limby and/or diseased loblolly pines, even if the loblolly pine is much larger in DBH. Otherwise, intermediate and suppressed pine trees will be left unmarked so they will be cut.

• Free of Fusiform rust cankers on the main stem of the tree.

• Having a full crown, not broken by wind, ice, or snow.

• Single-stemmed trees are preferred, but a forked tree may be marked (a leave tree) if it is the best tree available.

• Straight, well-pruned trees are preferred if available. For example, a straight, well-pruned pine that is 14” DBH and codominant would be preferred over an 18” DBH dominant tree with many residual branch stubs of a fading / weak crown.

• No leave trees will be marked if they are within 3 feet of a cut tree.

Self-Inspection: The Contractor will take a minimum of 1 plot per 5 acres to determine leave basal area of the marked trees. Orange flagging will be hung at each plot center with the marked basal area written on it.

DOCUMENTATION:

Bigwoods Leave Tree Marking Page 11 of 34

The Contractor shall maintain a folder with the following information available in the field. The information should be reasonably available to the COR or their Inspectors to make inspection of work progress.

• A copy of the treatment area map shall be maintained with approximate locations of plots and shading of progress. These maps will be provided on a weekly basis to the COR or Inspector to inspect work and monitor performance.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:

GATES:

Access roads may be gated. Contractor shall have reasonable access through these gates to complete project work. Contractor shall be responsible for insuring that gates are kept shut and locked at all times. Contractor can utilize their own lock to facilitate access.

SAFETY: Contractor is responsible for the safety of their personnel. Contractor shall not take actions that affect the safety of Forest Service personnel.
