3.1.2 Ground Based Seeding and Planting Projects. Seeding and planting projects include planting and/or seeding of either Government or Contractor provided seed and/or plants at specified areas, rates, and timing. There may be instances where ground based and aerial efforts are combined to achieve specific objectives (e.g., aerial grass seeding combined with ground based culti-packer treatments to incorporate seed into the soil following seeding to improved germination and establishment).

3.1.3 Aerial Seeding Projects. Aerial seeding projects include aerial seeding of either Government or Contractor provided seed at specified areas, rates, and timing determined with each Task Order.

3.1.4 Aerial Application of Pesticides. Aerial application of either Government or Contractor provided pesticides to achieve specific management objectives (e.g., block treatments for control of non-native species, and/or treatment of linear features such as roads or firebreaks). All applications shall be in accordance with specified areas, rates, and timing determined with each Task Order.

3.1.5 Biological Resource Monitoring. Conduct resource specific monitoring and reporting projects as determined with each Task Order to achieve resource management objectives. Examples include, but not limited to, follow up monitoring for soils, vegetation, and surface water resources following large wildland fire events or rehabilitation/restoration efforts. Other examples may include resource specific monitoring or investigations associated with Army Construction projects (e.g., biological or natural resource surveys within project footprints in support of other NEPA related actions).

3.1.5 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Fish and Wildlife and/or species of management emphasis Population Investigation Projects. Entails activities such as procurement of all required/associated permits and conduct various activities such as: capture (both on and off-installation), collect biological samples, transport, fit with GPS or VHF radio transmitters, mark/recapture methods, release rare, threatened and endangered fish and wildlife (e.g., sage-grouse, listed salmonid species, ground squirrels, jack rabbits, deer, elk etc.) and subsequent monitoring, data collection, analysis, and report writing.

Monitoring generally consists of determining wildlife locations, movements, survivorship, reproductive success, habitat use, and developing reoccurring and project-specific reports.

3.1.6 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Fish and Wildlife and/or species of management emphasis On and Off-Installation Survey and/or Monitoring. Entails activities such as both ground and aerial monitoring of previously radio-marked and released wildlife.

3.1.12 Archaeological Inventory Survey. Conduct archaeological inventories in advance of military construction and military training activities. Can involve pedestrian survey and subsurface shovel probes.

QASP

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

1. A QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN (QASP) WILL BE PROVIDED FOR EACH

TASK ORDER.

2. PURPOSE

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) provides a systematic method to evaluate performance for the stated contract. This QASP explains the following:

What will be monitored.

How monitoring will take place.

Who will conduct the monitoring.

How monitoring efforts and results will be documented.

This QASP does not detail how the contractor accomplishes the work. Rather, the QASP is created with the premise that the contractor is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract. It is the Government’s responsibility to be objective, fair, and consistent in evaluating performance. In addition, the QASP should recognize that unforeseen and uncontrollable situations may occur.

This QASP is a “living document” and the Government may review and revise it on a regular basis. However, the Government shall coordinate changes with the contractor.

Updates shall ensure that the QASP remains a valid, useful, and enforceable document.

Copies of the original QASP and revisions shall be provided to the contractor and Government officials implementing surveillance activities.

This QASP is developed to comply with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 37.6, Performance Based Acquisition and 46.4, Government Contract Quality

Assurance. In addition, FAR Subpart 46.103, Contracting Officer Responsibilities, states that agencies shall develop quality assurance surveillance plans when acquiring services.
