SCOPE OF WORK

SCOPE OF WORK FOR

Northern Mexican Gartersnake Surveys Associated with Alamo Dam Bill Williams River, La Paz and Mohave Counties, Arizona

Date:1 Dec 2017

1. LOCATION: Mojave and La Paz Counties, Arizona. Appropriate habitat along the Bill Williams River between Planet Ranch and Alamo Dam (See Map 1).

Map 1. NMGS General Survey Area Map.

2. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of this contract is to develop and implement surveys for threatened Northern Mexican Gartersnake (NMGS) along the Bill Williams River below Alamo Dam. In 2013, the NMGS was incidentally discovered by the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) along the Bill Williams River above Planet Ranch. Previously, the species was not known from the watershed and the closet extant population was thought to be over 100 miles away. No focused surveys for the species have occurred below Alamo Dam to date. In order to inform future operations and forthcoming consultation with USFWS, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is interested in surveying the Bill Williams River between Planet Ranch and Alamo Dam.

3. QUALIFICATIONS: The Contractor’s professional staff shall have demonstrated expertise in their appropriate fields of work and ethics of the profession. The Contractor shall provide or obtain professional and qualified personnel capable of performing the services required. This shall include ensuring appropriate permitting from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for trapping and tagging the Northern Mexican Gartersnake.

The Contractor shall furnish all necessary labor, facilities, equipment, and materials to perform the work described in this Scope of Work. The Contractor’s representative shall be available to meet with Government personnel as requested by the Project Biologist, Project Manager, or Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall perform the services in accordance with this SOW and general provisions. Any modification in equipment and methodology from those outlined in this task order shall be approved in writing by the Contracting Officer. In order to adhere to the project schedule, all requests for modification of Work and Services shall be forwarded to the Contracting Officer in writing at the earliest date to ensure a timely review and response.

4. DESCRIPTION OF WORK AND SERVICES:

A. Planning and Site Evaluation (15% Payment):

I. Desktop Survey: The Contractor will utilize Google Earth, GIS, or similar aerial imagery software to evaluate potential survey locations between Alamo Dam and Planet Ranch, within the survey area shown in Map 1. Potential survey locations should be chosen based on accessibility, likely habitat based on readily available and current aerial imagery, and personal or institutional knowledge of the area.

II. Initial Conference Call: The Contractor and the Corps will have a kick-off conference call or web-meeting. This meeting will serve to evaluate the potential survey locations identified in A.I.

above, and to discuss timing of field verification and surveys.

III. Field Verification: The Contractor will visit the potential survey locations identified in A.I and A.II above. Site visits will include georeferenced photographic documentation of conditions. As a result of the site visit, the Contractor will propose two (2) locations for surveys. The Corps will review the proposed sites and identify a primary survey site (Site 1) and a secondary survey site (Site 2).

B. Survey Efforts (60% Payment):

I. Survey Coordination: Based on the actual sites that result from A.I. to A.III. above, the Contractor will coordinate with the Corps to develop site specific survey protocols. These protocols will be based on the guidelines below, and will be reviewed by the Corps. As necessary, the Corps and the Contractor will coordinate proposed survey locations and protocols with USFWS.

II. Survey Site 1: The Contractor will implement NMGS surveys at Site 1. Protocols for surveying are subject to site specific development, but will include the following criteria:

i. Surveys will occur late March through late May to target peak NMGS activity periods. Exact start date will be determined in coordination with the Corps’ project biologist based on existing site and weather conditions.

ii. Surveys will use G-minnow traps.

iii. The identified survey site will not exceed 5 km in length.

iv. The array of G-minnow traps should include 75-100 separate traps based on site conditions.

v. Traps should be spaced approximately 5-15m apart where appropriate habitat and surface water occurs within the survey site.

vi. Trap arrays will be run for eight days (8). This includes a day to set traps, seven (7) nights of trapping, with trap removal on the last day.

vii. Pending approval from USFWS during consultation, the Contractor will PIT-tag all NMGS captured. Based on surveys in the upper watershed and previous incidental observations, the Corps anticipates tagging 25 individuals per survey site.

C. Reporting (25% Payment).

I. Report: The Contractor will provide a written report to the Corps that describes the trapping methods and efforts. Written reporting will include draft and final versions. The draft report will be submitted to the Corps electronically as a Word document for review within four (4) weeks of the completion of all field work. The Contractor will respond to comments provided by the Corps within two (2) weeks of receipt of comments. The Corps will share the revised draft report with USFWS, the Contractor will coordinate with the Corps on response to USFWS comments, revise the report as appropriate, and provide a final Word and print ready PDF version electronically. The final report is due within three (3) weeks of receiving final comments from the Corps and USFWS.

i. The report will include location and trap array maps (produced in ArcGIS), numbers of NMGS trapped and tagged, pertinent weather and habitat conditions, and photographic documentation of site condition and trapping arrays.

ii. Trapping efforts will include calculations of trapping efficiency in a standard format, such as CPUE, captures per trap hour, or similar metric.

iii. The report will include details of any incidental observations of other protected or special status species, such as southwestern willow flycatcher or yellow-billed cuckoo. The report will also include incidental observations of general wildlife noted.

D. Option

I. Survey Efforts (70% Payment of Option):

i. Survey Site 2. The Contractor shall implement NMGS surveys at Site 2, following the same procedures described for Site 1 in 4.B.II above.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors, applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care;

to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is the victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

HEALTH & WELFARE: $4.41 per hour or $176.40 per week or $764.40 per month

HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $4.13 per hour, or $165.20 per week, or $715.87 per month*

*This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-covered contract also covered by EO 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.

VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor, 3 weeks after 5 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)

HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

(A contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4.174)

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE

FOLLOWING:

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination does not apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541.

Because most Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a rate not less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 per week) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.

400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupations within those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may not list a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the survey data indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds

$27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. For example, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs duties within the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmer occupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate, then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with the conformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wage determination.

Additionally, because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computer professional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of:

(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications;

(2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design specifications;

(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or

(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).

2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY:

If you work at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differential and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am.

If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of your regularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sunday premium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime (i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is considered overtime work).

** HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL **

An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordnance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordnance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder and photoflash powder.

All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives.

Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operations on sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving re-grading and cleaning of artillery ranges.

A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity to ordnance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of the employee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and the like;

minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used.

All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordnance, explosive, and incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for ordnance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.

** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **

If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract (either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the following standards as compliance:

The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day).

However, in those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear" materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and do not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.

** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS **

The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the "Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition (Revision 1), dated September 2015, unless otherwise indicated.

** REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE,

Standard Form 1444 (SF-1444) **

Conformance Process:

The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination (See

29 CFR

4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a final determination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits which shall be paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first day of work on which contract work is performed by them in the classification.

Failure to pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested parties and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to the date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Act and this contract. (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(v)). When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF-1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.

The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:

1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).

2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in order the proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wage rate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorized representative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees performs any contract work.

3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a report of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the U.S.

Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)).

4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, or notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to process the request.

5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour Division's decision to the contractor.

6) Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copy of such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)).

Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF-1444 or bond paper.

When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations" should be used to compare job definitions to ensure that duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.

Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1)).
