Incomplete or inaccurate invoices shall be returned to the contractor for revision.

1. GENERAL: This is a firm fixed price non-personnel services contract to provide Revegetation Installation and Establishment Maintenance at SAC River Mile (RM) 71.3R. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over 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 overall responsibility of the Contractor is to manage and perform the activities necessary to revegetate 35,750 square feet of the riparian bench and upper bank within the formerly repaired levee area. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, material, tools, supervision, quality control, and other items necessary to ensure that the designated habitats are installed and maintained in order to provide suitable environment for vegetation establishment at this site. Services include, but are not limited to repairing or replacing any damage to existing Beaver Barrier Fence (BBF) or signage around the entire site, providing portable pumps to draw water directly from the adjacent river for irrigation and designing, installing, repairing and replacing the irrigation system that supplies water to the newly installed vegetation at the frequency stated within this contract. Services also include maintaining the vegetation and site infrastructure for the duration of the establishment period, trimming and herbicide spraying of the grasses, irrigating the installed vegetation, weeding around the woody plants, performing plant surveys and submitting monthly records and year end reports, performing replanting where plant survival falls below designated levels, trash removal, and removing above ground irrigation equipment and Beaver Barrier Fence (BBF) after the establishment period is completed. All work will be done during normal Federal workdays in daylight hours. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 BACKGROUND: Erosion of the levee structure was confined to the waterside berm. The eroded slope was roughly 1.5:1, including tall vertical sections. The slope consisted of trees and exposed roots, leaving large holes. Repairs completed in December 2017 include a lower bank constructed below the Summer Mean Water Surface Elevation which consists of Quarry Stone.

The gradation of the Quarry Stone is that of a “launch rock” material. The upper bank is constructed above the Summer Mean Water Surface Elevation and consists of soil-filled quarry stone. The upper bank protection is designed with a minimum thickness of 3 ft of soil-filled quarry stone within the erosion areas and 1.5 ft of soil filled quarry stone within areas that are not actively eroding. The riparian bench is composed of quarry stone that provides a surface that can support vegetation, providing overhead cover and near-shore aquatic habitats during the low flow season. The riparian bench quarry stone was covered with a 3”-6” top layer of class II aggregate base material at end of the repair procedure. Soil was not mixed into the underlying quarry stone due to upstream reservoir releases and high water flows.

1.3 OBJECTIVES:

a. To use an innovative and creative technical approach to maintaining newly installed vegetation to develop self-sustaining riparian water edge habitats.

b. Develop a Performance Work Plan (PP) that contains solutions to accomplish the objectives described herein focusing on criteria such as vigorous healthy grasses, trees, and shrubs and an overall natural habitat. Include in the PP a typical work schedule, list of typical materials and equipment the contractor plans to use, labor resources and a quality control plan to monitor the contractor’s performance in meeting the goals. Use whatever method necessary to meet the objectives, as long as the end result satisfies the minimum acceptable levels (MAL) of performance as defined in the Performance Requirements Summary contained in Attachment A and complies with the terms of the contract.

c. The work will be evaluated based on the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP), see Attachment B. The QASP includes indicators of success for each of the performance objectives.

d. Provide mitigation vegetation establishment installation and maintenance including, but not limited to install vegetation, install a temporary irrigation system, irrigate, weed, maintain existing beaver barrier fence (BBF) and mitigation signage.

e. To propose a practical solution using innovative and efficient techniques resulting in a satisfactory product.

f. Specifically establish a performance plan focusing on criteria such as complying with environmental requirements, controlling weed growth, removing contractor generated trash and debris. The plan will include a performance work schedule, list of materials, labor, and a quality control plan to monitor the contractor’s performance in meeting the goals.

1.4 SCOPE: Provide all personnel, equipment, material, tools, supervision, quality control, and other items necessary to ensure that the designated habitats are installed and maintained in order to provide suitable environment for vegetation establishment at this site. Services include, but are not limited to repairing or replacing any damage to existing BBF or signage around the entire site, providing portable pumps to draw water directly from the adjacent river for irrigation and designing, installing, repairing and replacing the irrigation system that supplies water to the newly installed vegetation at the frequency stated within this contract. Services also include maintaining the vegetation and site infrastructure for the duration of the establishment period, trimming and herbicide spraying of the grasses, irrigating the installed vegetation, weeding around the woody plants, performing plant surveys and submitting monthly records and year end reports, performing replanting where plant survival falls below designated levels, trash removal, and removing above ground irrigation equipment and BBF after the establishment period is completed. All work will be done during normal Federal workdays in daylight hours.

1.5 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: The contract period consists of vegetation installation (+/- 4 weeks) plus one year vegetation establishment. This contract has two Option Items; Option 1 is for the 2nd year of vegetation establishment and Option 2 is for the 3rd year of vegetation establishment. At the completion of each year a yearly report is required which presents all establishment activities as defined within this scope. At the end of the final year a final report which presents a compilation of all establishment years is required.

1.6 PROJECT SCHEDULE: Develop a detailed project schedule showing the timing and duration of all contract line items and any other necessary detail and submit to the KO/CO for approval. The schedule shall be submitted at the pre-work meeting or 30 calendar days from award of contract, whichever occurs first. Provide Schedule in Excel spreadsheet format.

Project schedule shall be kept up to date and an updated schedule shall be submitted every month with the Contractor’s invoice. Project schedule submitted with invoices shall show status of items as completed, in progress or not started. Items in progress shall indicate percentage completion of that item.

1.7 QUALITY CONTROL (QCP): The contractor shall develop and maintain an effective quality control program to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS. The contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services. The contractor’s quality control program is the means by which he assures himself that his work complies with the requirement of the contract. The QCP shall list the project’s key design team members along with their functional discipline and state the risks inherent to the project. The QCP shall include an inspection plan covering all services required by this contact; on-site records of all inspections; and methods for identifying and preventing deficiencies in the quality of service performed. See Sections 18 and 19, herein, for more specific requirements.
