3.04 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

A. Migratory Bird Nesting Season

1. This project is subject to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Land clearing activities for construction, maintenance, and repair activities should generally be scheduled outside the migratory nesting season which is generally considered to be from 1 May thru 30 August. If the contractor intends to disturb or clear any project area of undeveloped land or demolish any trees, bushes or potential nesting sites they shall submit a Migratory Bird Treaty Act Deconfliction Notification. The notification shall be submitted not later than two weeks prior to schedule clearing activities. Contractors are not allowed to proceed with construction until after the site has been cleared by the Fort McCoy Natural Resources Branch. The Submittal Notification shall state: “This project is subject to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Request that Fort McCoy, DPW, Natural Resources Branch if necessary, conduct a site investigation to ensure the project location(s) does not have naturally conflicting species.”

B. Northern Long-Eared Bat

1. In May 2015, the Northern Long-Eared Bat (NLEB) was listed as a federally endangered species. As a result of this listing, tree removal is temporarily prohibited unless a survey is conducted to determine if bats are present. Fort McCoy biologists will conduct these surveys. The contractor shall submit an

01000 - 10

Endangered Species Act Deconfliction Notification a minimum of 14 days prior to the scheduling of any tree clearing activities. The notification shall state: “This project is subject to the Endangered Species Act. Request that Fort McCoy, DPW, Natural Resources Branch approve the removal of trees as required by the project specifications.” At that point an evening survey will be scheduled to determine if bats are present. If no bats are observed, the Contractor will be required to remove the trees the following morning. If bats are observed, further consultation will be required with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the tree clearing will be delayed.

C. State Listed Species

1. Reducing or avoiding impact to state listed species, though not required, is preferred. According to the Natural Heritage Inventory database, several state listed endangered, threatened, and special concern species have been recorded in the township and range of this project. While many species are listed within the township and range of this project, the habitat types found on the site do not support many of the species listed.

2. Onsite monitoring of animal species indicates that some state listed species have been observed within a mile of the project sites. This includes the special concern Blanding’s turtle (Emydoidea blandingii), the threatened wood turtle (Glyptemys insculpta), endangered phlox moth (Schinia indiana) site, the special concern bog bluegrass (Poa paludigena), and the special concern golden winged warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera).

3. Blanding's turtles over-winter in open water as well as in streambanks and are active at Fort McCoy from early April to mid-October. These turtles spend much of the summer out of the water in the riparian area next to streams. They especially prefer wet meadows and sedge meadow habitats and the backwaters of rivers. These turtles strongly prefer to nest in sandy soil and are most likely to be found within 900 feet of riparian zones or wetland habitat, although telemetry data has shown that they can travel long distances between said habitats.

Blanding’s turtles take 17-20 years to reach sexual maturity, and mortality of only a few turtles from a population can have a significant impact on the overall population. Blanding’s turtles display nest site fidelity, returning to nest in the same location each year (WDNR, 2016). According to Mr. Tim Wilder, Fort McCoy Natural Resources Biologist, the Installation has conducted ample telemetry monitoring of Blanding’s turtles surmise that Blanding’s turtles occasionally move through the area but do not spend significant time in the project area. This project would impact upland nesting habitat for this species.

Figure 6 shows that the majority of the project site for the proposed action and alternative action 1 falls within a 300 meter buffer zone. This buffer zone is established to protect the species during the mating season. Construction projects may not proceed within the buffer zone from April to October without installing and maintaining avoidance measures. Section 8.0 provides further detail regarding avoidance measures.

4. Wood turtles occur at low densities on the installation and are known to occur in the Stillwell Creek drainage in small numbers. Wood turtles over-winter in stream banks and are active from April through mid-October. Habitat consists of rivers and streams with adjacent wetlands and upland forests. The species especially prefer open wet meadows and shrub-carr habitats. Wood turtles tend to

01000 - 11 stay within 300 meters of rivers and streams, however telemetry data collected at the Installation has documented numerous occasions where wood turtles have been located more than 1,000 meters from the closest stream. Nesting occurs during late-May and into June in sand or gravel areas. The Wood turtle nests are typically located very close to water. Wood turtles take 12-20 years to reach sexual maturity, and mortality of only a few turtles from a population can have a significant impact on the overall population. Wood turtles are known to occur within Stillwell Creek, adjacent to the project site. This project is expected to impact upland nesting habitat for this species. Figure 6 shows that the majority of the project site for the proposed action and alternative action 1 falls within a 300 meter buffer zone. This buffer zone is established to protect the species during the mating season. Construction projects may not proceed within the buffer zone from April to October without installing and maintaining avoidance measures. Section 8.0 provides further detail regarding avoidance measures.

5. The golden winged warbler breeds in dense thickets of deciduous shrubs and saplings. Sightings of this bird have not been recorded within the proposed or alternative areas, however they have been reported south of the site along side of the main railroad tracks. This species often uses wetland habitats such as alder thickets and willow stands. Habitat loss has been a main threat to this species.

Clearcutting and burning to open forests can improve habitat for this species, although keeping mature forest nearby is also required. Because the golden-winged warbler has been noted in the vicinity of the project, it is possible that the proposed action could impact the species. Mr. Wilder noted that additional survey work may be appropriate to assess the presence of the species within the work area.

6. The phlox moth relies heavily on its host plant, downy phlox (Phlox pilosa), which occurs in pine and oak barrens, and sandy prairies. Downy phlox requires open sunny conditions with some shade, and is susceptible to disturbance as is does not colonize new habitat very quickly. The adult emergence and larval development of the phlox moth coincides with the flowering of downy phlox, which is typically from the end of April through July. Impact to the species can be minimized and by avoiding impact to downy phlox, especially from the end of April through July. The phlox moth has not been sighted on the proposed site and downy phlox has not been mapped in the project area. It not anticipated that impact to the habitat of the phlox moth will occur therefore the overall impact to this species is anticipated to be minimal.

7. Bog bluegrass is found in wetland communities such as northern hardwood swamps and shrub-carr wetlands. According to Mr. Wilder, the only bluegrass that was found in the area was located within the riparian area of Stillwell Creek.

No wetland are anticipated to be impacted as part of the proposed project and the project will not impact Stillwell Creek, therefore it is not anticipated that this species will be impacted by the project.

D. Invasive Species

1. Contractor shall document the washing of equipment prior to arrival on Fort McCoy and upon departure from the work site to control the spread of invasive species. Spotted knapweed, crown vetch, and garlic mustard are documented to be in, adjacent, or near the work site. Any fill material transported to the work site shall be free of invasive weeds and/or seeds to the greatest extent practical.

01000 - 12

E. Oak Wilt Season

1. Contractor shall not perform tree removal during the oak wilt season (April 1 thru 31 July) for tree removal. If tree removal is required during oak wilt season any oak trees not scheduled for removal shall be protected from damage. If non-scheduled live trees are damaged, tree wound dressing shall be immediately applied to the damaged area. All trees and/or stumps that require removal shall be transported to the stump disposal site on South Post or removed from the installation.

3.05 CLEANING

A. During Construction:

1. The Contractor shall at all times keep the work area, including storage areas, free from accumulations of waste materials. The Contractor shall ensure all affected areas are “broom clean” at the end of each work day. Before completing the work, the Contractor shall remove from the work and premises, any rubbish, tools, scaffolding, equipment, and materials that are not the property of the government. Upon completing the work, the Contractor shall leave the work area in a fully cleaned, neat, and orderly condition, satisfactory to the Contracting Officer. FAR 52.236-12.

B. Final Cleaning

1. Final cleaning shall be performed and completed prior to punch list inspection.

2. Clean project site.

a. Sweep paved areas.

b. Rake clean other surfaces.

3. Remove waste and surplus materials, rubbish, and construction facilities from the project and from the site.

3.06 PROJECT COMPLETION

A. Fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the final inspection, submit invoices showing the installed cost of each of the following for the Government to apply for Focus on Energy rebates:

The following paragraphs indicate the requirements for submittals by the Contractor. All items listed in the Schedule of Material Submittals shall be submitted in accordance with the following paragraphs.

A. At all times the Contractor remains responsible for ensuring that the work is performed in strict accordance with the contract requirements. The fact that a non-conforming submittal may be accepted and inadvertently approved by the Government does not, in any way, relieve the Contractor of this responsibility.

Approval by the Contracting Officer shall not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for any errors or omissions in the submittals, nor from the responsibility of complying with the requirements of the contract, unless the variations have been described and approved in strict accordance with the procedures set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations, 48CFR 52.236-21, Specifications and Drawings for Construction clause, paragraph (f).

B. Definitions

1. Submittal - General term that includes any item that is required to be provided by the Contractor to the Government to identify product descriptive literature, drawings, sketches, and schematics that indicate and show a fabrication or installation method or technique; or any other model or sample of actual items or methods to include product data sheets, shop drawings, or samples.

2. Product Data - Descriptive literature or data that describes the physical properties of a product or material item that the Contractor intends to use in doing the work. Such descriptive data should enable the Contracting Officer to verify that the intended item meets the necessary requirements of the specifications.

3. Shop Drawings - A sketch, drawing, or schematic that is prepared by or for the Contractor that illustrates or shows how certain products or material items will be assembled, installed, interconnected, or fabricated for this contract.

4. Sample - An actual piece of material, product, or equipment that the Contractor intends to furnish, use, or install on the project.

1.06 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

A. Make submittals promptly in accordance with the approved schedule in such sequence as to cause no delay in the work or in the work of any contractor.

B. Contractor shall develop a complete list of preconstruction and construction submittals. Contractor shall identify required submittals of the RFP and use the list to prepare the submittal register. The list may not be all inclusive and additional submittals may be required by other parts of the contract. The contractor must prepare a Submittal Register listing all submittals, in the format of the attached Schedule of Material Submittals. A preliminary Register is attached to the end of this section; the Designer of Record shall verify its completeness, and make any corrections, or additions required. The Submittal Register shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for acceptance in accordance with the schedule below. Once accepted by the Government, the contractor shall input the Submittal Register into an Excel spreadsheet suitable

01300 - 3 for use by the contractor and Government. The approved/accepted Submittal Register will serve as a scheduling document for submittals and will be used to control submittal actions throughout the contract period. The submit dates and need dates used in the submittal register shall be coordinated with dates in the Contractor prepared progress schedule. Updates to the submittal Register codes and actual dates shall be submitted monthly or until all submittals have been satisfactorily completed. When the progress schedule is revised, the submittal register shall also be revised and both submitted for approval.

The contractor shall make submittals as required by the specifications. The contracting Officer may request submittals in addition to those specified when deemed necessary to adequately describe the work covered in the respective sections. Units of weights and measures used on all submittals shall be the same as those used on the contract drawings, or required per the contract documents. Each submittal shall be complete and in sufficient detail to allow ready determination of compliance with contract requirements. Prior to submittal, all items shall be checked and approved by the Contractor’s Quality Control (CQC) system Manager and each CQC System Manager indicating action taken. Proposed deviations from the contract requirements shall be clearly identified.
