STATEMENT OF WORK

Herbicide Application

CHENA RIVER LAKES PROJECT

2019-2021

14 Feb 2019

1. GUIDANCE

The Contractor shall furnish all labor, transportation, equipment, supplies, herbicides, surfactant, dye, personal protection equipment, fuels and other items necessary to apply herbicide to a variety of vegetation on various features of the Chena River Lakes Flood Control Project. The Government will provide the water source and a place to mix herbicides, surfactant, and dye. Herbicide application is critical for ensuring the structural integrity of the dam, levee and associated engineered features of the Project. This contract will be effective for one base year and up to two option years. The number and acreage of areas requiring treatment will vary from approximately 100 to 205 acres depending on the contract year.

1. LOCATION

The Chena River Lakes Flood Control Project is located approximately 18 miles east of Fairbanks, Alaska, near the community of North Pole. The treatment areas are described below, and consist of the Moose Creek Dam, associated access ramps, road shoulders, stability berms, first mile of Fairbanks North Star Borough levee, Project Office perimeter fence, Chena River rip-rap and other associated features.

Site conditions will undoubtedly change from year to year and will therefore require modifications to the size and location of areas to be treated, as well as the total area, under this multi-year contract.

2. CONTRACT DURATION

This contract shall be for one base year and two option years. The renewal of this contract for one or more option years shall be at the discretion of the Government, based upon performance, availability of funds and condition of the treatment areas.

Contract renewal shall be binding on the Contractor only if a decision is made by the Government to exercise the option(s). Bidders are advised that options will be exercised at the unit price as bid for the particular option year. Extension of the contract by exercising an option will be made by the Government by written notice to the Contractor prior to March l each year. If the Government chooses to exercise its option to extend this contract, the notice of intent to the Contractor does not necessarily commit the Government to an extension.

3. ACCESS

The Government will supply the contractor all necessary keys to access the treatment areas. The Contractor may be allowed permission by the Project Manager to park support equipment inside the Project Office compound for the duration of thejob. All herbicides and mix materials may be stored in the Chena Project’s Haz- Mat Storage building located within the Project Office Compound. All equipment must be removed from Project lands within two weeks after the completion of the job. The Contractor may be required to move any and all equipment out of the treatment area in the event of any water impoundment.

4. PRE-WORK CONFERENCE

A pre-work meeting will be held between the Project Manager (or his representative) and the Contractor prior to commencement of the work to; inspect the areas to be treated; discuss treatment method, times and dates of applications;

designate a herbicide mixing site; inspect all chemicals, and herbicide application equipment and secondary spill containment systems; submit a safety plan; and discuss other relevant safety considerations and requirements.

5. DESCRIPTION OF WORK

All herbicides will be pre-approved by the Project Manager prior to delivery to the job site. Only herbicides which meet the specifications outlined in the Memorandum of Agreement between the EPA and the Government will be approved for use.

Herbicides shall be applied by a commercial applicator who is certified by the State of Alaska, or under the direct supervision of a State certified commercial pesticide applicator. All applicators are to be properly protected, trained, instructed, and supervised to ensure that required application procedures are observed. The Contractor will be required to submit proof that his supervisory personnel to be employed under the Contract are State certified pesticide applicators.

The Contractor shall observe and follow EPA and State of Alaska regulations and product label instructions for handling, storage and disposal of herbicides, additives, and their containers. Herbicides and additives shall be mixed and applied in accordance with the label directions and the provisions of the Contract. A designated mixing site and a secondary spill containment system will be pre-approved by the Chena Project Manager during the pre-work conference. No deviations from label directions will be allowed under any circumstances. An agriculturally approved dye (i.e. Turf Mark, Blazon Blue) shall be added to all herbicide solutions to identify treated areas.

The Contractor will treat only those areas, which require vegetation control. The maximum use of “spot” application will be used during all treatments of target sites.

No “broadcast”, band or aerial type spraying will be allowed except around relief wells, piezometer wells, guard rail posts, or culvert ends. No vehicles will be allowed to operate on the dam face. Spot application methods may include backpack sprayers, or other sprayer methods, which are capable of concentrating spray on individual plants. Boom type sprayers will not be used. All application equipment w i l l be calibrated to apply correct amounts of herbicide based on label requirements. Herbicides will not be applied during windy conditions where winds are gusting or sustained at greater than 10 miles per hour. This does not supersede more stringent product label requirements.

6. JOB COMPLETION

All herbicide applications must be completed between 10 June and 30 July unless weather conditions, flood control operations, or government directives delay applications. The Project Manager or his representative will make a determination on any extensions needed to complete the contract. A minimum 3 days’ notice shall be given to the Project Manager prior to the start of work. Each treatment area will be treated independently of the others and must be completed prior to starting the next area. The Project Manager, or his representative, will inspect each area as it is completed. The Contractor is required to contact the Project Manager or his representative daily before start of work to receive guidance on continuing or halting work temporarily due to anticipated weather conditions.

7. HOURS OF WORK

The Contractor will work between the hours of 4:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Contractor shall not be permitted to work during prime recreational periods, which include Friday after 6:00 p.m. through Sunday, and holidays.

8. PLANS AND REPORTS

The following describes those plans and reports that the Contractor is required to provide to the Project Manager:

a. Contractor Safety Plan: This plan will be submitted to the Project Manager during the pre-work meeting. The plan will address pesticide storage, loading, transport, mixing, treatment methods, personal protective equipment and use. The Safety Plan will also address procedures in the event of spillage in terms of both personal and environmental protection, and handling of excess pesticides.

b. Daily Pesticide Application Record Sheets: These records shall be completed in their entirety by the Contractor and submitted daily to the Project Manager. The Chena Project Office will provide forms. This record sheet will include a description of the treatment area, date and time of application, pesticides used (including formulation, amount, and application rate), amount of area treated, temperature, cloud cover, wind direction and speed, site conditions, and names of applicators and supervisor.

9. DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT AREAS

Size and locations of herbicide treatment areas will vary from year to year depending on site conditions, weed density, flooding, and weather conditions. The Contractor can expect to treat between 100 to 205 acres of area during any contract year. THE

TOTAL AREA FOR ALL 11 TREATMENT AREAS IS CALCULATED AT 205

ACRES. This acreage will be adjusted down based on site conditions and the need for treatment per contract year. During certain years for example the entire upstream side of the dam (Area 1-62.5 acres) may not require treatment so the acreage of treatment area will be reduced by 62.5 acres. Specific treatment area information such as plant identification, general weed and brush densities and terrain conditions are available to the Contractor at the Chena Flood Control Project Office.

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Offers will be technically evaluated in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Performance Work Statement. Award will be made to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror. The Government reserves the right to make award on the initial offer received without discussions.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.

Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
