These types of vegetation will not be permitted to mature on any engineered feature. The Contractor shall remove all vegetation regardless of height and type in these areas or as directed through the COR. Concrete spall and joint sealing repairs be done to prevent regrowth in these areas.

2.1.2 Vegetation Management on Earthen Engineered Features

The earthen engineered features include all unarmored embankments and levee systems.

Vegetation on any unarmored slopes must be cut to a height of 3-inches to prevent erosion. All vegetation cuttings shall be removed from USACE RW on the same day that it is cut. The Contractor must ensure that local and county fire department vegetation standards are met throughout USACE RW.

2.1.3 Vegetation Management on Earthen Access Roads

All vegetation growing on unpaved or paved access roads shall be cut flush with the surrounding ground surface then treated with an approved herbicide.

The principal intent is to ensure an unrestricted flow of water within R/W and to prevent damage to infrastructure from unintended vegetation growth.

All invert slopes, walls or concrete invert surfaces facing the river side of the channel or levee system will be maintained to a level that does not support any vegetation growth of Grass, Bushes and Trees. These types of vegetation will not be permitted to mature on any structures types. The Contractor will remove all vegetation regardless of height and type in these areas or as directed through the COR. Trees will be cut and removed from these structures. The stump will not be removed and will be left at a six inches in elevation above the concrete surface.

(Cutting height of stump is based on a site safety considerations). Bushes regardless of type will be removed at level height of the concrete surface and herbicide applied immediately after cutting. Grasses will not be allowed to be higher than 6 inches in height along earth embankments (Support Fire Protection) as Level I type work.

Soft-bottom areas, land side slopes of channels and levees and channel access roads within LACDA and SARB channels & Levee systems and within FCB that require clear cutting of rooted vegetation, trees and non-native vegetation clearing services will be directed through a written TO from the KO as Level II type work. SAR-A-01 and SAR-A-02 which include 26.90 acres will be considered Level I work. Eco System Restoration Reach LAR-5B which includes

2.2 Level II Services

Service requirements above the routine MS&I will be considered Level II services and will be requested by the Government via a TO described in a separate SOW. The TO will be issued by the Contracting Officer (KO) through a contract modification with cost based on a negotiated Firm- Fixed-Price schedule. This level of work is established for nonrecurring maintenance services to address work of an urgent or emergency status. Level II work level projects may also consist of areas within Level I reaches that due to environmental factors and funding restraints will not be routinely made a part of Level I work activities. This can also be extended to other civil works projects constructed and managed within SPL.

When requested to perform Level II services, the Contractor will be furnished a Request for Proposal and an SOW. The Contractor will then provide a price proposal to accomplish the work. The Government and Contractor will negotiate and agree to pricing for the requested services. The exception to this will be emergency response work Level II services that may be ordered verbally by the Contracting Officer.

2.2.1 Emergency Response Work

The Contractor may be requested by the KO via a TO to provide emergency response work activities at any LACDA or SARB projects to include the FCB. Emergency response work is any work required to correct problems caused by failures or deficiencies to project facilities and property, which constitutes an immediate danger or health hazard or a threat to property. The Contractor shall prepare an emergency response plan and present it to the COR prior to commencement of the contract. Emergency response work will be initiated by notice (phone call or other means) from the COR or a designated representative and the Contractor shall initiate corrective action immediately. The Contractor shall notify the COR immediately of any emergency work that cannot be completed within a 24-hour period. When emergency situations are recognized by the Contractor or Contractor personnel, the COR shall be contacted immediately and prior to initiating emergency work unless the nature of the emergency requires immediate action to preserve life or avoid injury. In such cases, the Contractor shall perform remedial work to temporarily correct the situation and shall advise the COR of the problem immediately.

2.2.2 Graffiti Removal

The Contractor may be requested by the KO to provide graffiti removal services via a TO for all LACDA and SARB projects. The Contractor, when issued the TO, must cover graffiti from all appurtenances within USACE RW that will consists of armored side slopes, culverts, bridge piers, floodwalls, and…
