Notwithstanding the above, the ordering period shall automatically end upon the termination of each year period unless the option is exercised for the next period of performance via contract modification.

If occupational diseases are not compensable under the Federal or State Workers' compensation and occupational disease statutes, they shall be covered under the employer's liability section of the insurance policy except when Contract operations are so commingled with a contractor's commercial operations that it would not be practical to require this coverage.

General Liability Insurance. Bodily injury liability insurance, in the minimum limits of $500,000 per occurrence, shall be required on the comprehensive form of policy; however, property damage liability insurance ordinarily shall not be required.

Automobile Liability Insurance. This insurance shall be required on the comprehensive form of policy and shall provide bodily injury liability and property damage liability covering the operation of all automobiles used in connection with the performance of the Contract.

Aircraft Operating Licenses: The Contractor and his/her employees operating helicopters under this contract shall possess all necessary valid licenses/certificates with appropriate endorsements (if applicable) for all pilots, aircraft and for the type of work being performed in support of this contract.

Vehicle Operating Licenses: Contractor personnel shall possess a valid license with appropriate endorsements (if applicable) for all vehicle operators working under this contract (e.g., valid motor vehicle operator license and proper Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) endorsements for equipment operated).

Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) Pesticide Applicator License: The Contractor shall possess a valid Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) operator/applicator license for all personnel engaged in the mixing, handling, and application of pesticides/herbicides on JBLM YTC. All WSDA licensing requirements for pesticide application apply to contractor staff mixing, handling or applying pesticides/herbicides on JBLM YTC, EXCEPT the line of site rule. The line of site rule does NOT apply on JBLM YTC; hence all contractor personnel mixing, handling or applying pesticides/herbicides must have a valid WSDA license. In the case of ground support personnel (e.g., loader/mixer) that handle or mix pesticides/herbicides, at a minimum, they shall possess a valid WSDA license with a Rights of Way and/or Ag. Weed endorsement. For all contractor employees working in support of this contract that possess a WSDA license, the contractor shall provide each employees name and license number to the USACE COR and Project Manager not less than five business days prior to any pesticide/herbicide applications.

Civilian Aircraft Landing Permit (CALP): The Contractor shall complete a CALP no less than once annually (expiration of CALPs is tied to duration of the contractor’s insurance premium period). The final approved CALPs shall be provided to the COR prior to beginning work on any Task Orders. A valid CALP must be in place before the Contractor will be allowed to begin work. Information includes aircraft make, model, tail numbers, and insurance information.

Deliverable Rights: All documents, photos, and materials are the property of the Government with all rights and privileges of ownership/copyright belonging exclusively to the Government. These documents and materials may not be used or sold by the Contractor without written permission from the Contracting Officer.

Payments and Supporting Documentation: The Contractor shall invoice the Government after completion of task order requirements. The invoice, including supporting documentation for work performed and a summary table of expenditures in accordance with the CLIN structure, shall be submitted not later than 30 days following completion of task order requirements. Submit the invoice and supporting documents electronically to the USACE PM and COR.

Operational Constraints: The following describes operational constraints that the contractor must work within to accomplish the work contained in this contract.

Sage Grouse Protection Areas: JBLM YTC contains habitat for Western Sage Grouse, a threatened species in the State of Washington. Areas designated for sage grouse protection are called Sage Grouse Protection Areas (SGPAs), and the areas may be partially or completely off limits between 01 February and 15 June. Partial restrictions include prohibition of occupying or working within SGPAs until after 9:00 a.m. JBLM YTC Public Works staff will coordinate access to these areas.

Identification of Persons or Root Gatherers: Native Americans gather root crops on JBLM YTC from plants that flower during the late winter through spring months. The Contractor shall cease treatment in the area if any persons, to include root gatherers, are encountered and shall inform the COR via daily report when this occurs (treatment may be shifted to other contract areas where gatherers are not present). Specific treatment areas may need to be scheduled around known root gathering activities and events. JBLM YTC Public Works staff will coordinate access to areas where root gatherers may be found.

Military Training Activities: The Contractor shall coordinate daily with Range Operations to ensure that spray operations do not conflict with military training activities during execution of task order requirements. Military maneuvers, live fire exercises, and bivouac activities shall be avoided.

Occasionally, military activity will close a range area or access road outside of the established training area or range safety fan boundaries. A daily coordination meeting (Monday – Friday) occurs at Range Control to de-conflict the next day/weekend activities. The Contractor shall attend these meetings as needed to coordinate access to areas where military trainers may be conducting operations.

Restricted airspace: Aircraft pilots must follow JBLM YTC airspace entry procedure of contacting Range Control desk at 509-577-3280 to request permission prior to entering airspace, conducting radio/communication checks at an interval specified by the Range Operations Desk; and notifying the Range Operations Desk when exiting airspace.

Ground Support Daily Sign-In/Sign-Out: Daily sign-in/sign-out at JBLM YTC Range Operations is required of each contractor vehicle operator. Work crews are required to check in and out daily at the Range Operations desk at Building 1805. They will be issued a daily range pass and must return the pass upon exit from the range area each day. Non-compliance with sign in and sign out procedures will result in the offender(s) being permanently barred from the installation. Failure to comply with sign in and sign out procedures is a dangerous (i.e., life safety) safety violation, hence there is a zero tolerance policy for such non-compliance.

System calibration: The helicopter aircraft spray/seeding system shall be calibrated. (e.g., letter report submitted electronically) prior to beginning work on any Task Orders issued for this base contract.

Spray/Seeding Pattern testing: A minimum of one deposition pattern test shall be performed per helicopter aircraft annually prior to commencing spray/seeding operations. Deposition pattern tests shall be performed at JBLM YTC or at a nearby location agreed to by the COR.

Additional pattern tests may be required if the initial test is inconclusive, has an unacceptable pattern (due to rotor wash, improper nozzle selection, etc.), or if the seeding equipment, spray boom or nozzles are reconfigured over the course of the spray operation. The spray/seeding pattern test shall be performed in the presence of the COR or JBLM YTC Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE). The COR or QAE will be available to assist with conducting the test. One letter report (e.g., submitted electronically) documenting the results of system calibration (1.17.6) and spray/seeding pattern testing (1.17.7) shall be provided to the COR at least one business day before beginning application of herbicides or seeding.

Method of Aerial Application of Herbicides and Seeding: Herbicides shall be applied by helicopter aircraft flying at an altitude not to exceed 15 feet above the ground level in order to minimize drift of the spray solution. Aerial seeding shall be at a safe altitude that provides for safe operations, and is consistent with elevation flown during calibration/pattern testing. Aerial equipment designed to minimize spray drift shall be used. Orientation of the spray nozzles shall be consistent with the herbicide label instructions for drift reduction. A flow control system shall be utilized to ensure even and uniform application of herbicides and seeding under varying air speeds.

Riparian areas: The contractor shall not apply herbicides any closer than within 200 feet of any open body of water. Riparian zones crossing firebreaks shall not be sprayed.

Aircraft operation: Spray operations shall commence only when the COR or JBLM YTC QAE is on site at JBLM YTC, to monitor and document all aerial application operations each day. The Government Representative will be available during daylight hours, seven (7) days a week until the project is complete. The Contractor shall coordinate with the Government Representative regarding all installation access (ingress and egress to the installation), air space, and airfield use for the duration of each project.

Weather: Application of herbicide and seeding shall not occur when the soil is frozen or covered with snow, (except for sagebrush seeding which must occur on snow), when the wind velocity exceeds ten (10) mph, when the ambient air temperature is below 36 degrees F or above 80 degrees F, or during temperature inversions. The Contractor shall not apply herbicide or seed if rain is expected within one hour. The COR or KO Contracting Officer may require the contractor to restrict spray or seeding operation if wind conditions below the above threshold causes excessive spray drift. In all cases, when applications are adjacent to the boundary, the prevailing wind shall be in a direction that ensures any drift is carried onto JBLM YTC lands.

Navigation and tracking: The Contractor shall use a real time GPS electronic swath navigation aid. The Contractor shall follow Government supplied Geographic Information System (GIS) guide files to apply herbicides and seed mixes. The files are guide files only. Application shall be to the ground feature indicated by the guide. Contractor shall ensure that only aircraft that are equipped with (and properly functioning) constant flow controls are used to apply pesticides herbicides (and similar flow control system for seeding) on JBLM YTC lands to ensure that application rates are correctly adjusted to compensate for changes in airspeed over uneven ground. The Contractor shall record (track) locations for “spray on” or “seed on”, and provide tracking information to the COR along with a complete electronic file of the areas treated within five business days following completion of work on each delivery order.

Communication: Aircraft pilot must be able to directly communicate at all times via headset with JBLM YTC Range Control Desk on FM 40.20, or cellular telephone, or with personnel on ground by radio. The pilot and ground personnel must have programmable FM radio capability.

Unscheduled landings and emergencies shall be immediately reported to Range Control. The radio frequency shall be monitored at all times for range activity that may affect the safety of the contractor crew. (Range schedules are subject to change). Cellular telephone communication shall be operational in the pilot headset. A civilian frequency aircraft radio shall also be operational in the pilot headset.

Material Handling: The Contractor shall adhere to all safety requirements as specified by Federal and State Laws, regulations and herbicide label requirements, as appropriate. Hazardous wastes and spilled materials generated in performance of the contract shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to be properly (legally) disposed of at an off post location. The Contractor shall be responsible for any disposal costs. The Contractor shall include a copy of all chemical Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and product labels for the products being applied in or on all vehicles being used to apply herbicides. Upon request by Government representative, the Contractor shall provide access to such documents at any time.

Spill Prevention: The Contractor shall maintain a spill kit on each mix truck used in support of this contract. Contents of the spill kit shall be appropriate for the type and volume of material that could potentially spill during mixing and loading operations.

Cleanup: Any refuse generated in the performance of this contract shall be disposed of by the Contractor in an approved disposal site off the installation. All spills of herbicide shall be immediately reported to the on-site JBLM YTC inspector and affected soils shall be immediately excavated and disposed of by the Contractor at an approved disposal site off the installation. The Contractor shall incur all costs associated with cleanup. Disposal of containers for chemicals supplied by the Government will be disposed by the Contractor at an appropriate off-post location.
