PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Performance Work Statement Lost Creek Lake Debris Collection

May 2015

1. GENERAL

This is a non-personal services contract to collect and contain debris from Lost Creek Lake. The Government will 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.

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the services for the Lost Creek Lake Debris Collection project as defined in this Scope of

Work (SOW) except for those items specified as government furnished property, supplies and/or services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

Only a warranted Contracting officer (either a Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) or an Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO)), acting within their delegated limits, has the authority to issue modifications or otherwise change the terms and conditions of this contract. If an individual other than the Contracting Officer attempts to make changes to the terms and conditions of this contract you shall not proceed with the change and shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Lost Creek Dam is located in S.W. Oregon, approximately 35 miles N.N.W. of Medford, Oregon near OR Hwy 62 (see Figure 1 in Appendix A). High water events in December 2014 caused debris to be washed down into the dam’s reservoir and collect on the surface of Lost Creek Lake. This debris requires containment and removal for public and dam safety reasons.

Except as explicitly identified in this scope of work, and/or authorized by the Contracting Officer, no Government labor, materials or equipment are available to support the fulfillment of requirements within the scope of this contract. The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) identified in section 6 will be available to the Contractor for the purposes of clarifying contractual requirements and/or determining the proper method of resolution of disputes and path forward regarding activities that may fall outside the original Scope of Work.

3. SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractor shall collect and contain floating debris on the surface of Lost Creek Lake. The Contractor shall provide the services needed to design, construct, use and store one ‘collection’ log boom; to design, construct and place two permanent ‘containment’ log booms; to substantially clear Lost Creek Lake of floating debris and to move that debris to locations as specified below in section 3.4, Debris Collection; and to train USACE personnel on equipment/systems familiarization. Upon Government approval of construction and testing and final acceptance of the end product, the completed log booms will become property of the Government. The Contractor shall:

3.1 Task 1: Containment Log Boom and Anchors - Takelma Cove (East) The Contractor shall design, construct and place a containment log boom in Takelma Cove East as shown in Appendix A, Figure 2. The Contractor shall submit drawing(s) of containment boom access passageway detailing the configuration of all anchoring/cabling/rigging to the COR for approval prior to starting work. The Contractor shall provide a Statement of Warranty of Workmanship and Materials covering the containment boom for a minimum period of 1Year.

The collection log boom shall comply with the following specifications:

Boom Length for Takelma Cove East: Straight line distance between anchors, + vertical distance from anchor points to the high water mark, + 100ft.

Log Type: Western Red Cedar or Douglas Fir

Log diameter: 18” to 20”

Maximum Gap between logs: 4”

Log Lengths and Quantity: Quantity furnished will be dependent on the lengths of the logs used and is not fixed other than that which is necessary to construct a continuous log boom across the opening of the cove from anchor point to anchor point with an additional 100ft of length added to the boom. The extra length is necessary to allow for easing of forces exerted on the anchors and easy deposition of the logs across the bottom of the cove when waters recede.

Anchors: Excavation is not allowed. Anchors shall be supplied and placed by the Contractor. Anchors shall be sized to withstand forces exerted upon the log boom by natural forces such as wind and wave action. Anchors shall be placed on the ground and may use existing natural features as anchor points. Absent presentation of professional engineering calculations, anchors and rigging shall be capable of withstanding an applied load of 5,000lb in any direction without sliding or deflecting more than 1 inch. If gravity type anchors are used, the test must be performed with the interface between the ground and the anchor being first wetted with water. Approximate locations of the anchors and the log boom are indicated in the Figures 2 and 3 found in Appendix A. These figures are very approximate, having been taken from Google Earth, and are not presented as exact figures. Final dimensions for correct ordering and construction are the responsibility of the Contractor.

Water Based Containment Area Access and Egress: Provision shall be made for the ability to open and close a passageway to be used by water going vessels. The passageway shall be placed in the approximate center of the total log boom span and must be capable of being opened up to 100ft wide to allow for the passage of two vessels towing a log boom. The anchoring system shall maintain the position of passageway connection points. Submerged obstructions, such as connecting cables shall be submerged a minimum of 10’ below the surface of the water, providing sufficient depth to the bottom of the reservoir is present. Actions necessary for opening and closing the log boom shall be capable of being manipulated by hand and shall require no special tools.

Rigging/Connecting Hardware: All connecting hardware shall be designed to withstand a static force of 10,000lb at yield in tension and be constructed of corrosion restant/zinc plated/galvanized steel. Wire rope may be doubled up to achieve to the 10,000lb strength requirement (i.e., the use of two runs of 5,000lb yield strength wire rope to distribute the load from log to log is acceptable). Logs shall be connected end to end using galvanized steel wire rope. Logs shall have a hole drilled on each end that pass through the entire diameter of the log to allow wire rope to pass through. Holes in the logs shall be placed at least 1ft away from the nearest end of the log.

3.2 Task 2: Containment Log Booms and Anchors – Catfish Cove

The Contractor shall collect the log debris necessary to construct a containment log boom and place it in Catfish Cove as shown in Appendix A, Figure 3. The Contractor shall submit drawing(s) of containment boom access passageway detailing the configuration of anchoring/cabling/rigging to the COR for approval prior to starting work. The Contractor shall provide a Statement of Warranty of Workmanship and Materials covering the containment boom for a minimum period of 1Year.

The collection log boom shall comply with the same specifications given for Task 2 with the exception of the boom length as noted below:

Boom Length for Catfish Cove: Straight line distance between anchors, + vertical distance from anchor points to the high water mark, + 80ft.

3.3 Task 3: Collection Log Boom

The Contractor shall design, construct and place a collection log boom in Takelma Cove, on the East side of the boat ramp peninsula. The Contractor shall submit to the COR a sketch of connection details for log to log, and log to connecting loop (for collection booms ends) for approval prior to starting work.

The Contractor shall provide a Statement of Warranty of Workmanship and Materials covering the collection boom for a minimum period of 1Year.

The collection log boom shall comply with the following specifications:

Log Type: Western Red Cedar or Douglas Fir

Log diameter: 14” to 18”

End Log Lengths and Quantity: 4 each (2 on each end) having a minimum length of 9ft and a maximum length of 11ft.

Middle Section Log Lengths and Quantity: 15 each having a minimum length of 13ft and a maximum length of 20ft. All logs must be of similar length, within +/- 1ft of each other.

Rigging/Connecting Hardware: All hardware shall be designed to withstand a static force of 10,000lb in tension and be constructed of zinc plated/galvanized steel. Galvanized wire rope shall be looped at each end of the boom with a free length of 5ft from the end of the loop to the end of the log.

3.4 Task 4: Debris Collection

The debris collection methods are left to the determination of the Contractor. It is envisioned that the Contractor will utilize the collection boom that is constructed under this contract, but is not required. Debris collection shall be conducted over a 3 day period.

Upon completion of the debris collection activities, the collection boom shall be placed in the confines of the Takelma Cove East Containment Area.

3.5 Task 5: Equipment/Systems Familiarization Training

Upon completion of the debris collection activities, the Contractor shall provide hands-on training on equipment/systems familiarization to USACE project personnel. Training shall include the recommended operation, maintenance, and inspection of constructed systems. The training shall be conducted via water going vessel and any other method as determined prudent by the Contractor. The trainer shall ensure sufficient quality of training to ensure a thorough understanding of the needs of the system to maximize lifespan of the equipment.

At least three USACE personnel will be trained.

3.6 Task 6: Additional Debris Collection (Optional Bid Item)

An option for additional collection days will be included in the contract, but exercising that option will depend on whether or not continued operations are likely a prudent use of funds. Conditions that may determine whether or not additional optional days of debris collection are exercised may include, but are not limited to, the efficiency of collection due to Contractor methods and/or choice of equipment, distribution of debris across the reservoir and weather.

4. SCHEDULING CONSIDERATIONS

a. Period of Performance Services shall be performed and completed within 36 calendar days following award of contract. Debris collection activities are most successful at higher pool levels which occur in early to mid May.

b. Project Hours of Work Government personnel at the Rogue River Basin Project observe a 4 day per week work schedule, Mondays thru Thursdays from 7:00am to 5:30pm.
