SCOPE OF WORK

Firebreak Construction and Maintenance Fort McCoy, Wisconsin

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL: This contract shall provide construction and maintenance on firebreaks associated with the North Impact Area (NIA) and select firing ranges and to create a firebreak on designated segments in and around Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contractor performing the work herein. The contractor / subcontractor(s) shall be accountable solely to the prime contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description / Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items necessary to create a firebreak or maintain firebreaks in accordance with this scope of work, attachments, and the terms and conditions in this contract. The NIA, ranges, and installation boundary has been divided into segments. This award includes completion of work on funded segments. Other segments are not ready for the firebreak to be created or maintained and may be included in future contracts. Contractor's work and responsibility shall include, but is not limited to: all job planning, labor, scheduling, administration, inspection, and management necessary to accomplish the required specified tasks. The Contractor shall assure that all work is accomplished in accordance with contract requirements, all applicable laws and regulations, and/or written directives issued by the Contracting Officer.

1.2 Background: Fort McCoy is situated on approximately 60,000 acres in West Central Wisconsin. It is located on HWY 21 between Sparta and Tomah. Fort McCoy’s primary mission is to underpin readiness of the Force by serving as a training center and support site for power projection missions. Fort McCoy is known as the Total Force Training Center because this installation supports the training and mobilization of reserve and active component military personnel from all branches of America's armed forces. The installation's varied terrain, state-of-the-art ranges, new as well as renovated facilities and extensive support infrastructure, combine to afford our military personnel with an excellent environment in which to develop and sustain the skills necessary for their mission success.

1.3 Objectives: There are two objectives of this contract:

Create a minimum of 40 feet wide firebreak around designated portions of installation boundary that can be accessed by emergency vehicles for suppressing wildfires and to delineate the boundary for soldiers training on Fort McCoy and for the civilian population residing, working or recreating on lands adjacent to Fort McCoy.

Maintain mineral soil firebreaks around the NIA and select ranges to prevent wildfires from escaping and damaging government and private property.

1.4 Scope: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items necessary to perform firebreak maintenance activities or create firebreaks as defined in this scope of work for Fort McCoy. The Contractor is not responsible for the removal of hazardous materials, biohazards, or other waste materials not specifically mentioned. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract and the standards listed in American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A300 parts 1-7 and 9.

1.8.1 Unexploded Ordnance: Military training involving live ammunition and explosives has occurred throughout Fort McCoy since 1909. Deliberate and comprehensive efforts have been conducted to clear the unexploded ordnance (UXO) hazard; however these items may occasionally still be encountered while on Fort McCoy.

(1) UXOs are often referred to as duds, bombs, munitions, ordnance, ammo, dummy rounds, or by other terms. Regardless of what they are called, they shall be considered extremely dangerous. They were designed to explode and may still have the capability to do so. Never touch, move, or disturb munitions. Even Civil War cannon balls and souvenir munitions that may have been handled for years can potentially detonate at any time.

(2) UXOs come in many shapes and sizes and may be visible on the surface or be buried. It can be exposed by erosion or fires, and may look new or old. UXOs may also be found alone or in groups; and can be whole or in parts.

(3) Anyone encountering or believing they may have encountered unexploded ordnance shall consider it extremely dangerous. The proper response to avoid injury to themselves and others is to follow the 3 Rs of explosives safety:

(a) Recognize - Recognizing when you may have encountered UXO is key to reducing the risk of injury or death. If you encounter or suspect you may have encountered UXO, consider it extremely dangerous. Remember, UXO is sometimes hard to identify.

(b) Retreat - If you encounter or suspect you may have encountered UXO, do not touch, move or disturb it, but immediately and carefully leave the area following the same path on which you entered. If you can, mark the general area, not the UXO, in some manner (e.g., with a hat, piece of cloth, or by tying something to a tree branch).

(c) Report - Notify Fort McCoy Public Safety Center at (608) 388-2000 of what you saw, where you saw it, and the type of marking, if you were able to mark the area. These actions will protect you and others who may encounter the same area.

The contractor will be working in areas that may have unexploded ordnance (UXO).

Prior to starting any work, all contractor personnel must attend a UXO safety brief. Any UXO found at the work site must be noted and reported to The Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security (DPTMS) radio room ASAP.

Additional UXO safety information and a photo gallery of various types of UXO are available from the Department of Defense internet site at:
