GROUNDS MAINTENANCE SERVICES

(MOWING/TRIMMING & FALL/SPRING GROUNDS CLEANUP)

LEECH LAKE DAM RECREATION AREA

C-1. GENERAL.

C-1.1. Scope of Work. The work to be performed under this contract consists of furnishing all plant, materials, equipment, supplies, labor, supervision, and transportation and performing all work as required by the CLIN SCHEDULE of the contract, in strict accordance with this Scope of Work and attachments, all of which are made part hereof. All work materials and services not expressly called for in the scope of work or shown on the attachments but which are necessary for completion of the contract requirements shall be performed and furnished by the Contractor at no increase in cost to the Government.

C-1.2. Services. The Contractor shall furnish mowing, trimming, and grounds cleanup services for Leech Lake Recreation Area.

C-1.2.1. Mowing and Trimming Overview. The areas requiring mowing and trimming (service areas) are color coded on the site map (C-7.1, Attachment 1, Page 1) and each area has its own written requirements that are addressed in section C-3 of this Scope of Work (SOW). The service areas are defined as: Service Area One (1=Green) which is approximately 25 acres and Service Area Two (2=Yellow) which is approximately 10 acres. The total combined Service Areas (Area one – Green and Area two – Yellow) cover approximately 35 acres. The quoted price will be per each mowing for each area. Weather and moisture conditions will vary week to week. Frequencies and timing of mowing’s will fluctuate. It is expected that the contractor will utilize knowledge, skills, and abilities to plan work around weather forecasts and moisture conditions. For example morning dew or overnight rains could allow for trimming in the morning and mowing in the afternoon. Another example may be to target low areas first during favorable forecasts and focus on higher grounds during less favorable forecasts. More information regarding the mowing/trimming service requirements is provided later in this scope of work.

C-1.2.2. Grounds Cleanup Overview. The areas requiring cleanup services, also known as Fall and Spring Cleanup, are color coded on the site map (Attachment 1, Page 2) highlighted in red and green. The Total Service Area covers the same areas as mowed areas (approximately 35 acres). The Red Service area has a dense population of trees and may require a second “touch-up” cleanup in the Spring if and when directed by the Site Manager. The quoted price will include three contract line items: 1) Lump sum amount for the Fall cleanup (Red) Service Area;

2) Lump sum amount for the Spring cleanup (Green) Service Area; and 3) Lump Sum amount for touchup cleanup (Red Service Area) to be completed in the Spring, if required. The work for Fall clean-up (Red) shall be completed 21 October through 30 November and the work for Spring cleanup (Green) and touchup (Red) shall be completed 01 April through 30 April of each year. All requirements of the Spring cleanup service must be completed prior to 01 May of each year. Snow and moisture conditions vary from year to year sometimes causing conditions which make clean-up difficult even into May. It is expected that the contractor will utilize knowledge, skills, and abilities to plan work around weather forecasts and moisture conditions. As noted, the Red Service Area may require additional services in Spring. The Site Manager will notify the Contractor prior to 1 April of each year if Red touchup is required. Upon completion of all Spring (including touch-up) and Fall cleanup, but not later than 01 May for Spring cleanup and 1 December for Fall cleanup, the contractor shall schedule a grounds inspection meeting with the Site Manager.

The invoice for Spring Cleanup will be submitted by the contractor for the Spring (Green) Service Area and the Red touch-up (if required) on or about 1 May after completion of the grounds inspection meeting required by section C-1.2.2.

C-1.4.3. Invoices. The contractor shall submit accurate and correct invoices to the Site Manager to initiate payments. Invoices shall match submitted work logs. If there are no discrepancies between work logs and invoices; receiving reports will be initiated at the field level that will generate payment by USACE Finance Center, Millington, TN directly to the contractor.

When unacceptable performance occurs, the Contracting Officer will inform the Contractor.

This will normally be in writing unless circumstances necessitate verbal communication.

When the Contracting Officer determines formal written communication is required, a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) will be given to the contractor.

The contractor shall acknowledge receipt of the CDR in writing. The CDR will specify if the contractor is required to prepare a corrective action plan to document how the contractor shall correct the unacceptable performance and avoid a recurrence. The CDR will also state how long after receipt the contractor has to present this corrective action plan to the Contracting Officer.

The response statement shall identify causes for failure to perform, and identify ways to prevent future occurrences of the same performance failures. The Contracting Officer will assess the need for further action, based on past performance and written plan for future incident prevention.

Failure to perform required services in a timely manner may result in payment reduction. Any CDRs may become a part of the supporting documentation for contract payment deductions or other actions deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer.
