2. Provided by Contractor –

a. Boundary Marking Paint: The boundary marking paint shall be a blue oil-based paint designed to provide a 6-year service life visible at a minimum of 20 feet when applied to live tree bark. The Contractor shall provide submittals of the paint type and color to the TPOC for review prior to ordering.

b. Approved paint application materials and supplies.

c. Documentation and Reporting materials needed based on the requirements listed in Part 4

Service Requirements.

Part 4 Service Requirements:

1. General: Boundary lines are maintained lines of site to ensure abutters and visitors are aware of federal boundary lines on USACE projects. Maintenance of these lines requires routine clearing, painting, signing, reporting broken or missing monuments, and reporting encroachments (documenting via digital photographs). Services performed under this contract shall be based on boundary surveyed data as indicated on maps provided to the Contractor by USACE.

NOTE: Some boundary lines may proceed on a curved line with a specified radius between corner monuments. Some boundary corner monuments may be indicated as “Tie” lines or monuments, and the Contractor shall be familiar with properly reading survey maps and coordinates to properly maintain and mark these unique features of the boundary line.

a. Boundary Line Clearing:

i. The Contractor shall clear and maintain a four-foot (4’) wide by six-foot (6’) high line of sight by cutting all branches and trees three inches or less in diameter at breast height (DBH), and any brush intruding into this “line of sight” zone.

ii. All stumps shall be cut as close to the ground as conditions allow and no higher than three inches (3”) above the ground.

iii. Branches shall be cut back to the branch collar of the tree or shrub. To avoid tearing the bark on the main stem of the tree or shrub, branches may require starting the cut from the underside of the branch.

iv. Clearing is not required where the boundary is defined by roads, streams, or bodies of water.

v. Clearing is required along fencing and stone walls that define the boundary line.

vi. All cuttings shall be disposed onto USACE property and not left on abutters property, in trees, or piled on the ground within the “line of sight” zone.

vii. Cuttings will be spread out into the wooded area on USACE property at a minimum of ten-feet (10’) from the “line of sight” zone and shall not be piled higher than two-feet (2’) in height above the ground.

viii. A forester’s staff compass, or a sighting compass shall be the lowest order of instrumentation allowed for running the bounds between monuments.

b. Boundary Line Marking:

i. Paint markings shall be approximately five feet (5’) above the ground, with a blue spot at least four inches (4”) wide and six inches (6”) tall. See Exhibit 1.

ii. Paint Markings shall be made on USACE property and face the adjacent property unless the line goes directly through a tree where a “Center Blaze” marking shall be applied. See Exhibits 1 and 2.

iii. Paint and all supplies will be supplied by the Contractor.

iv. Painted trees shall be on USACE property. The painted tress may be on the boundary line (Line Trees = Center Blaze); on or within two feet (2’) of the boundary line (Quarter Blaze Trees = Quarter Blaze) or no more than four feet (4’) from the boundary line (Face Blaze Trees = Face Blaze). See Exhibits 1 and 2.

v. Line trees receiving a “Center Blaze” shall be marked on each side of the tree to represent the boundary line proceeding through the tree. See Exhibits 1 and 2.

vi. Quarter Blaze Trees receiving a “Quarter Blaze” shall be marked on the front “quarter sides” of the tree, resulting in two blazes on the single tree. See Exhibit 2.

vii. Where possible up to three (3) trees (Corner Trees) at each boundary corner (monument) will receive three (3) markings (Tri-Blaze), each one at least four inches (4”) wide and six inches (6”) tall. These markings shall be arranged vertically along the tree stem (See Exhibit 1).

viii. Paint markings for trees less than four inches (4”) DBH, shall coincide with tree diameter at DBH.

ix. Trees shall be painted as necessary to provide a blaze visible from each to the next at an interval not to exceed seventy-five feet (75’).

x. Boundary monuments (some metal, some concrete, some PVC, some on rocks, and all with bronze or metal survey discs) will receive a blue paint marking around the monument if room allows. The blue paint SHALL NOT cover the bronze or metal survey disc. See Exhibit 1.

c. Documentation and Reporting:

i. Fallen Trees: The Contractor shall document and report the location (latitude and longitude) and between which monuments, and size of any fallen trees on the boundary line that cannot be removed by hand.

ii. Encroachments: Any encroachment or suspected encroachment and any missing or broken boundary monuments observed shall be immediately reported to the Project Manager or TPOC. The Contractor shall also document and record the location (latitude and longitude) and between which monuments of any suspected encroachment and provide digital photos in .jpeg format that document the extent of the potential encroachment. An encroachment is defined the USACE Real Estate Encroachment Action Handbook as: any “unauthorized placement of improvements on (USACE) property by a non-Army party. An encroachment has occurred when the structure or improvement extends over, across, in, or upon lands in which the Government owns a real estate interest which would prohibit such, and the structure or improvement has not been approved. Structure or improvement means a permanent or semi-permanent facility, such as a habitable dwelling, building, fence, deck, porch, barn, outhouse, permanent storage building, road, pond, leach field and septic tank, utility line, levee, excavation, placement of fill material, oil, and gas well, mine entrance and tunnel. Also, unauthorized removal of government-owned real property components of economic value such as timber, sand, gravel, or embedded stone” is considered an encroachment. Any damage or disturbed USACE boundary lines such as to tree markings, fencing, stonewalls, or monuments, and any erosion caused by an abutter’s activity, or other form of destruction of Government property is considered an encroachment. All data collected for any encroachment shall be submitted to the TPOC.

iii. Monuments: The Contractor shall visually inspect and take digital photos in .jpeg format, of existing monuments and provide the TPOC a list of conditions of all monuments on site along with the corresponding photographs. The

Contractor shall make note of any missing or damaged monuments. Notes about the monument shall be written to include the physical condition of the monument itself (i.e., condition of disc, presence of monument, condition of any fiberglass posts, blue paint etc.) and submitted to the TPOC electronically by email.

NOTE: The Contractor shall be responsible for locating each monument, which may require the use of a metal detector for those monuments not immediately visible and/or by running bearings and distances from last known monuments in either direction of the boundary line back to a missing monument.

2. Restrictions:

a. Contractors SHALL NOT enter private property to access boundary locations without written permissions from the TPOC and landowner. All ingress and egress to and from the specified area(s) shall be through USACE property.

b. The Contractor SHALL NOT attempt to resolve any encroachments.

c. Monument Inspections and Documentation shall not occur during snow cover conditions.

d. Maps and data provided are for official use only and may not be shared.
