1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide Tree Removal Services at various recreational areas managed by Albeni Falls Dam around Oldtown and Sandpoint, Idaho.

The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, materials, transportation, tools, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform hazard tree removal in a safe manner that will maintain a clean and orderly appearance and in such a manner that preserves both the infrastructure and on site vegetation as defined in this performance work statement (PWS), except for those items specified in Section 3 as government-furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this PWS (See Technical Exhibit 1).

1.1.1 All tree removal shall be performed in a manner that will maintain a clean, orderly, and professional appearance of recreation areas as defined in this performance work statement (PWS).

1.1.2 Tree Removal services shall preserve the facilities, infrastructure, and vegetation in a manner that maximizes facility use.

1.1.3 Tree Removal shall allow the Government to perform its duty to provide a safe work environment for its personnel and the public, which includes their safety, wellbeing, health, and welfare.

1.2 Background: The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) manages developed recreation areas consisting of campgrounds, day use areas and associated features (see Technical Exhibit 2). It is our responsibility to ensure that these areas are safe for public use. A part of the management of these lands requires the evaluation of trees for defects or other issues, with removal of those found to be hazardous to health, safety and/or infrastructure, to ensure a safe environment for personnel and public visitation.

1.3 Scope: Tree Removal service for 2026 shall be conducted at the Albeni Cove Recreation Area, Priest River Recreation Area, Riley Creek Recreation Area, and Vista Day Use Area which are all mapped in (Technical Exhibit 2). The Contractor shall provide tree removal services at the designated locations specified between 17 September 2026 and 26 February 2027. Services shall include, but not be limited to: felling and removing trees (marked with numbered red flagging) deemed as hazardous or undesirable by the Albeni Falls Dam Natural Resource Management Staff, removing existing logs and debris, limbing fallen trees, and disposing logs, limbs, debris and other materials created as a result of falling operations of those trees scheduled for removal. The Contractor is to obtain all permits and licenses legally necessary to dispose of ALL tree logs and associated debris. Due to the nature of the recreation areas, the Contractor must be prepared to remove trees from locations that are near buildings, campsites and campsite features and roadways in a manner that preserves both the infrastructure and surrounding vegetation to the maximum extent possible.

1.4 Period of Performance: The period of performance shall begin no sooner than 17 September 2026 and 26 February 2027. Extensions will not be allowed. If weight limits or road closures due to “spring break up” prohibit hauling of materials or equipment, storage of equipment, logs, materials, and debris in a safe manner within the boundaries of the recreation areas may occur with the understanding that hauling, removal, and disposal shall commence within 3 days of restrictions being lifted.

1.5 General Information

1.5.1 Quality Control (QC): The Contractor shall develop and maintain an effective quality control program to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS.

1.5.2 Quality Assurance (QA): The Government shall evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) (see Technical Exhibit 1).

IDAHO

1. Objective. The purpose of this plan is to provide a quality assurance surveillance plan for Hazard Tree Removal Services at the Albeni Falls Dam recreation areas. This plan provides a basis for the COR and/or the quality assurance evaluator (QAE) to evaluate the quality of the contractor’s performance. The oversight provided for in the contract and in this plan will help ensure that service levels reach and maintain the required levels throughout the contract term.

2. Performance Standards.

A. Quality Level. By monitoring the contractor, the COR will determine whether the performance levels set forth in the contract and have been attained. Performance standards for all tasks are specified in the Performance Work Statement, Performance Requirements Summary, and contract clauses.

B. Frequency. During performance of this contract, the COR and/or the QAE will perform inspections of the work and will analyze whether the work is being performed in accordance with the PWS and PRS. The COR and/or QAE will confirm whether the contractor has satisfactorily met all contract requirements.

3. Evaluation Methods. The COR and/or QAE will conduct performance evaluations to ensure performance levels identified in the contract are met. The following techniques will be used to perform surveillance:

A. 100% Inspection. The COR will perform 100% inspections during the contract. Sites will be inspected to ensure that all performance standards identified in the PWS have been completed to the satisfaction of the COR. Any discrepancies noted during the inspections will be discussed with the contractor as soon as practicable. The COR will document any findings, discrepancies, and discussions as necessary.

B. To minimize unnecessary mobilizations and demobilizations, the contractor will keep the COR informed of schedules and locations throughout the course of the contract. This will allow specific areas to be inspected after the work is performed, ensuring that inspections are not performed prior to the contractor’s entry to the work area.

C. Any findings, discrepancies and discussions will be identified and documented on a form like the attached inspection report as is necessary. The report will be filed with all other pertinent contract documents and will be used to determine compliance with all contract requirements.
