PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Performance Work Statement (PWS) Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Area Flood Risk Management Project

IDIQ Contract for Tree Removal

1. GENERAL: The Contractor shall furnish all necessary personnel, materials, supplies, parts, tools, equipment, and vehicles, except as otherwise provided for herein, required to perform tree removal services specified within the area of responsibility of the Fargo Moorhead Metropolitan Area Flood Risk Management Project and in strict accordance with all Terms, Conditions, General, Specific and Technical Provisions, Drawings, Attachments, etc., contained herein or incorporated by reference. Incorporation by reference shall include all mandatory provisions required by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) whether referenced or not, current at time of award.

1.1. Background: The Fargo Moorhead Metropolitan Area Flood Risk Management Project is a large civil works project to reduce risk of catastrophic flooding in the Fargo Moorhead Metropolitan area.

Construction of the project includes a 35-mile flood diversion channel and large structures to change and direct flows. Construction on project sites requires them to be cleared of any existing structures or trees for construction to commence. Due to the Northern Long-Eared Bat being listed as a Federally endangered species, the clearing of trees thicker than 3 inches diameter at breast height (DBH) has been restricted.

Trees of 3” or greater DBH may only be cleared when the Northern Long-Eared Bat is hibernating. In the project area, tree clearing may only occur between October 1 and April 15.

1.2. Generalized Site Conditions: Areas of forest and tree clearing are old fence rows, wind rows, farmstead tree lines and forested areas along the river corridor. Stands consist primarily of ash, elm and boxelder with some cottonwood, oak, and hackberry mixed in. Trees are of poor quality, although some large cottonwood may be merchantable. Average tree diameter is 12 inches with a range of 4 to 42 inches at DBH. Mean basal area is roughly 120 ft2/acre with stands ranging from 80 to 190 ft2/acre. Stand volumes across the sites are highly variable with the average volume per acre being roughly 24 cords/acre and a range of 13 cords/acre to 44 cords/acre.

1.3. Compensation: The payment provided for in the contract shall constitute full compensation for furnishing all materials and for performing all work under the contract in a complete and acceptable manner. The contract work shall include providing plant, equipment, tools, supplies, labor, supervision, incidental materials, quality control, environmental protection, and meeting safety requirements, and for performing all work required for which separate payment is not otherwise provided. Compensation for all work shown, specified, or essential to completion of the project (whether or not the specific material or operation is indicated) shall be included on the pricing schedule. The payment provided for in the contract includes compensation for all risk, loss, damage, and expense arising out of the nature of the work or its prosecution, subject to conditions of the contract. Payment for each contract line item will constitute full compensation for performing the work specified in this PWS.

1.4. Materials and Equipment: The contractor shall furnish all equipment to perform the work required within the PWS. Equipment used shall be in working condition free of leaking oil, gas, hydraulic oil, and or any other substances in which could damage any park facilities. All equipment shall have protective guards and proper safety devices functioning and working before any work shall be performed.

1.5. Scope The work will primarily occur in the southern diversion channel, Southern Embankment, and Eastern Tie-Back areas, but may occur anywhere in the region. This requirement is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. This contract type provides a not to exceed (NTE) estimate of the work required to be performed over the contract period. The actual quantities of services ordered under this contract may be significantly less than the NTE contract quantity. Estimated quantities and/or the work to be performed are described herein as Contract Line Items (CLINS) and/or listed on separate sheets as Price Schedules. These quantities are approximate and are provided only for the Contractor's information to assist in preparation of quotations. They are not guaranteed and the actual quantities may be less than shown.

Variations in these estimated quantities shall not be justification for or request for additional payment. The Government reserves the right to perform any or all of the services described herein above the guaranteed minimum with its own personnel or volunteers. Contractor work and responsibility shall include, but shall not be limited to: all planning, programming, administration and management necessary to assure that all services are conducted in accordance with the contract and all applicable laws, regulations, codes, or directives. Contractor shall perform all related Contractor administrative services necessary to perform the work such as quality control, Contractor financial control, and maintenance of accurate and complete records and files.

1.5.1. Tree Removal: Work areas shall be identified on the task order with maps provided from the Government. All trees greater than 2.5 inches DBH (diameter at breast height) within the identified work areas shall be felled and debris disposed of. Debris disposal methods are at the discretion of the contractor. Debris must be removed and disposed of offsite. Stump heights shall be left between 2 and 3 feet in height. The Contractor shall use whatever methods necessary to remove trees without damaging infrastructure (roads, powerlines etc.). Any damage to infrastructure as a result of the Contractor's negligence shall be repaired or replaced at the Contractor's expense.

Tree removal must occur within 4 weeks of task order issuance. Note: Tree removal line items include all equipment and personnel to remove the tree and debris in accordance to contract specifications. For example, if tree removal requires special equipment such as a bucket truck, contractor shall not request payment or invoice the Government for this equipment or personnel, the cost shall be included in the line-item price for tree removal.

1.5.2. Traffic Control: The Contractor must consider and anticipate the public in the vicinity of the work area. Roadways shall be temporarily closed, at Contractor’s discretion, if deemed a safety hazard to users during services. Traffic safety standards found in EM385-1-1 shall be followed and adhered to.

1.5.3. Transportation. All mileage costs should be included in each quoted item for tree removal services.

The contractor must abide by all hauling and tonnage restrictions on local roads as well as any other ordinances or laws that may be in place. Contractor must also abide by all wood transportation laws that are established for the local area to prevent the spread of invasive pests such as emerald ash borer.

1.5.4. Disposal of Debris. The Contractor shall dispose of all materials and/or debris from the tree removal service work under this contract. No separate payment for the disposal of materials and debris will be made. The maximum acceptable size of debris left on site may not exceed 1 inch in diameter and 5 feet in length. Debris may not remain on site and must be removed within 7 days of tree removal.

Debris disposal must comply with local laws and ordinances and may not be transported across state lines or leave quarantine zones to prevent the spread of emerald ash borer or other such pests.

1.5.5. Administration: No separate payment will be made for the contractor's administrative costs to set up office and complete all the necessary paperwork required in this scope of work.

1.5.6. REQUIRED INSURANCE
