ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT

YOUR EVALUATIONOF THE CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor’s proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor’s corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable No information or did not apply to your contract

Rating will be neither positive or negative.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

For

Forest Inventory and Timber Marking Services Piney Woods Project

Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide Forest Inventory and Timber Marking Services in the Piney Woods region of eastern Texas. 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 / Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform Forest Inventory and Timber Marking Services as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers owns and manages land lying above the conservation pool elevation at many of its lake projects. These lands are forested with a mix of tree species representative of the Piney Woods region, and managed for multiple uses, one of which is a sustainable supply of timber. Management of forests on USACE lands is guided, in part, by policy set forth in Public Law 86-717, the Forest Cover Act, which states that project lands shall be developed and maintained to assure a future supply of timber through sustained yield programs to the extent that such management is practicable and compatible with other uses of the project.

Additional forest management guidance is set forth in USACE regulations ER & EP 1130-2-540 which specifies that stewardship of project land shall be ecosystem based.

1.3 Objectives: The following are broad objectives of this contract. Detailed requirements and objectives will be outlined in later sections of this PWS.

1.3.1 Selectively mark and tally pine and hardwood sawtimber and pulpwood for timber stand improvement.

1.3.2 Select, mark, and tally ten (10) to thirty (30) trees per acre to provide a seed source for timber stand regeneration. Regeneration marking line items also include an inventory of unmarked trees.

1.3.3 Collect and process individual tree and stand level forest inventory data (i.e. timber cruise).

1.3.4 Collect and process pre-merchantable and regeneration inventory data.

1.3.5 Provide Timber Marking and Inventory reports, including maps, tree and stand level inventory data, stocking levels, and volume computations for each compartment or timber stand unit.

1.4 Scope

1.4.1 Furnish all labor, materials, supplies, tools, parts, transportation, and equipment necessary to provide timber marking and forest inventory services. All marking and inventory line items also include required reports detailing individual tree and forest stand level volume and stocking data. There are fourteen (14) Texas counties involved in this contract:

Angelina, Bowie, Camp, Cass, Delta, Hopkins, Jasper, Morris, Nacogdoches, Sabine, San Augustine, Titus, Tyler, and Upshur.

1.4.2 Timber marking and inventory services to be provided under this contract may be located in one or more timber stands or compartments, owned in fee by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the U.S. Army. The areas to be surveyed are located at Jim Chapman Lake/Cooper Dam (to include White Oak Creek Wildlife Management Area); Lake O’ The Pines; Sam Rayburn Lake; B.A. Steinhagen Lake/Town Bluff Dam; Wright Patman Lake; and Red River Army Depot.

1.5 Period of Performance (POP):

1.5.1 The Contract Period of Performance (POP) shall be for one (1) Base Year of twelve (12) months, and four (4) Option Years of twelve (12) months each. These Contract Periods of Performance will be referred to as: Base Year, Option Year I, Option Year II, Option Year III, and Option Year IV.

1.5.2 In addition to the Contract POP, each Task Order issued will have a specified Period of Performance required for completion of that Task Order. Each Task Order POP will be calculated as follows. Sixty (60) calendar days for the first five hundred (500) acres, plus thirty (30) calendar days for each additional five hundred (500) acres. For example, a Task Order for 2,000 acres (all items and areas combined) would have a POP of 150 days (60 + 30 + 30 + 30 = 150). The period of Performance begins upon issuance of the Task Order, unless a later start date is specified within the Task Order itself.

1.5.3 Task Order Quantities. Task orders may be issued for any quantity and any combination of locations and line items, subject to the following limitations. No task order will be issued for an amount less than $2,500. No task order or combination of task orders will exceed 5,500 acres, or 20% of the total dollar value of the contract capacity during the base year or any option year.

1.6 General Information:

1.6.1 Safety: Contractor shall perform all services in full compliance with the safety requirements set forth in the current EM 385-1-1, entitled "Safety and Health Requirements Manual", which is available at the Project Office and at http://www.hq.usace.army.mil (select Safety; and Occupational Health). Consequently, the Contractor shall be responsible for complying with the current edition and all changes posted on the web as of the effective date of this solicitation.

1.6.2 Safety Plan: The Contractor shall develop and submit a written detailed Safety Plan within fifteen (15) days after award and prior to beginning work. This plan must indicate in detail the general policies and procedures for safe operation in the accomplishment of this contract

1.6.3 Quality Control (QC): 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. Contractor shall identify the person responsible for contract QC.

1.6.4 Quality Control Plan (QCP): The Contractor’s Quality Control Plan (QCP) is the means by which the Contractor assures that the work product complies with the requirement of the contract. The QCP is to be delivered to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) within fifteen (15) days after contract award, or at the initial pre-work meeting prior to commencement of the first Task Order, whichever is sooner. After initial acceptance of the QCP, the contractor shall be required to receive the Contracting Officer’s acceptance in writing of any proposed change to his QC system.

1.6.5 Quality Assurance (QA): The term “Quality Assurance” refers to actions taken by the Government to insure the Contractor’s Quality Control (QC) system is functioning and effective, and that the Contractor is providing services which are in accordance with this contract. QA Inspection will be random checks of work in progress, a random check of transect lines after work is finished, and evaluation of deliverable reports.

1.6.6 Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP): The Government shall evaluate the

Contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the attached Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is primarily focused on what the Government must do to ensure that the contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards. It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the minimum acceptable quality levels. The Government will monitor the Contractor's service performance using random sampling, planned sampling, and/or 100% inspection, as described in a separate "Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan". The Government reserves the right to alter or change the type of inspection plan at its discretion at any time, and to make deductions accordingly.
