PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Tamarisk Leaf Beetle Monitoring in the Middle Rio Grande

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0 General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide survey and mapping for the Tamarisk Leaf Beetle (Diorhabda sp., beetle). The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to monitor for the directionality and extent of beetle distributions within the Middle Rio Grande as defined in this Performance Work Statement, except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services.

Tamarisk Weevil (Coniatus splendidulus) and Tamarisk leafhopper (Opsius stactogalus) shall also be monitored.

The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: In 2015, survey results revealed spread of tamarisk leaf beetle resulting in defoliation of tamarisk into the Rio Grande River watershed of New Mexico. The spread of tamarisk leaf beetle (Diorhabda carinulata) from the north and potential spread of other species of tamarisk leaf beetle (e.g., Diorhabda elongate) from Texas will ultimately affect riparian forests in central and southern New Mexico. Impacts to tamarisk, native riparian communities, such as avifauna and herpetofauna are widespread in scope. TLB (Diorhabda carinulata) has already spread further south and the spread of TLB species from Texas (Diorhabda elongate) are expected to continue range expansion into New Mexico Watersheds. These areas are critical habitat to the endangered southwestern willow flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus) and important to many other riparian obligate breeding birds and herpetofauna.

1.3 Objectives: The Contractor shall monitor for the directionality and extent of beetle distributions within the Middle Rio Grande in coordination with USACE and the Middle Rio Grande Endangered Species Collaborative Program (MRGESCP).

1.4 Scope: The Contractor shall provide survey and mapping for the Tamarisk Leaf Beetle (Diorhabda sp.), Tamarisk Weevil and Tamarisk Leafhopper as defined in Part 5 of this PWS.

1.5 Period of Performance: All field work shall be completed during the summer months of 2016 and 2017.

The Contractor shall then provide deliverables (per above) within 120 days of the end of the 2016 field work (by December 30, 2016) and at the end of 2017 field work (by December 30, 2017).

PART 5

SPECIFIC TASKS

5.0 Specific Tasks:

5.1 Survey Methods: The survey methods for Tamarisk Leaf Beetle (TLB) are based on those established by the Tamarisk Coalition, with modification. The standard Tamarisk Coalition survey method includes 5 sweeps on each of 5 randomly selected plants at each sample site, with each site sampled three (3) times a year, including May, July and late August. Researchers working in areas entirely outside of the known area of TLB colonization have found that more intensive sampling at sites is more effective in detecting TLB at low density, low pheromone levels, and with no aggregation (T. Dudley, pers. comm.). This Intensive Survey Method consists of a minimum of 100 (average 300) “haphazard” sweeps made throughout a site. This Intensive Survey Method will be employed in all sites until TLB are detecting at a site. Once detected at a site, the standard Tamarisk Coalition survey methods will be employed at the sites where TLB have been detected. Survey sites will be selected throughout the greater Rio Grande Watershed and will be conducted along riparian zones within a minimum of 15 km between sites. Also, critically important sites will be sampled, such as springs and wetlands where high levels of biodiversity occur. At each site, the number of different instars and adults is tallied for each set of 5 sweeps. Tamarisk leaf beetles, weevils and leafhoppers will be collected, placed in vials with alcohol for taxonomic species identification. Other site data will also be collected, including vegetation community, percent defoliation of tamarisk, aspect, substrate and geology, elevation, location, and other relevant variables. For each survey we will document type of survey, location (UTM), date, surveyor name, temperature, wind speed, and precipitation.

5.1.1 Reporting: All field data sheets shall be compiled, scanned and entered into an MS Access spreadsheet and/or regional database. The spatial data for each sampling location and the Diorhabda numbers present will be entered into GIS and used to create a map. The Contractor shall also submit a report of findings identifying what beetles, weevils and leafhoppers are present in Rio Grande River New Mexico Watersheds through the use of standard sampling and pheromone monitoring. The data will be submitted to the Army Corp of Engineers and Tamarisk Coalition as part of their regional effort to coordinate and compile beetle monitoring datasets.

5.2 Tracking Tamarisk Defoliation, Refoliation and Mortality by TLB, Tamarisk Leafhoppers and Tamarisk Weevils:

The Contractor shall track mortality rates along the Rio Grande River at sites that have experienced defoliation by the tamarisk leaf beetle for at least two years. The process of monitoring mortality will include: monitoring damage to the tamarisk Canopy (% brown, % yellow, % re-growth), as well assess the proportion of dead (non-leafing) branches on the tree as a measure of mortality. This will involve determining the percent of foliar damage by beetles by examining the entire canopy of each tree to determine the approximate amount of damage as a percentage out of total canopy cover, with categories consisting of: 1-5%, 6-25%, 26-50%, 51-75%, 76-95%, and 96-100%.

Foliage damaged by beetles turns brown before eventually withering completely and falling from the branches. The percentage of foliage remaining on the tree that has turned brown versus green will be estimated. Complete defoliation of a tree by beetles is indicated by the appearance of 100% brown foliage throughout the canopy.

Similarly, the percent of foliar damage by leafhoppers (Opsius stactogalus) is estimated by examining the entire canopy as well.

In contrast to foliage damaged by the beetle, foliage damaged by the phloem feeding leafhopper appears bright yellow and stippled (such damage is especially apparent in the canopy at locations where leafhopper abundance is high). This distinctly yellow foliage shall be estimated the same way as beetle damage (percent yellow out of total canopy). In cases where beetle defoliation has occurred early to mid-season, tamarisk trees may regrow new foliage that same season. Like beetle and leafhopper damage, the percent of foliar regrowth will be estimated by examining the entire canopy of each marked tree to determine the approximate amount of regrowth foliage as a percentage out of total canopy cover. In most cases regrowth follows complete defoliation and makes up 100% of canopy cover.

Measuring becomes difficult when part of the canopy of the tree is regrowth and part is the original non-damaged foliage. It is important to remember these are approximate estimates and error will occur. The main objective of knowing when and approximately how much damage is present (low vs. high).

Similar to estimating canopy condition (beetle damage versus undamaged foliage), the percent of branch death or dead tamarisk biomass (dead wood) shall be estimated as a percentage out of the total branches for individual trees.

Branch flexibility, color (red versus gray), and foliage presence or absence, indicates whether branches are living or dead. The percent of dead biomass shall be estimated two or more times per season if possible (late May to early June, July, and August). Tree mortality will be determined by the absence of green foliage on all branches of individual trees over an entire monitoring season (May-August).

5.2.1 Reporting: All field data sheets shall be compiled and provided in the report appendix. The spatial data for each sampling location and the Diorhabda numbers present will be entered into GIS and used to create a map. The Contractor shall also submit a report of findings.

5.3 Molecular Analysis of TLB and Tamarisk Weevil

Four species of Diorhabda populating the regions surrounding the Rio Grande Watershed shall be looked at more closely at the genetic level. These species include: The Northern tamarisk leaf beetle (Diorhabda carinulata) located in Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and California; the Mediterranean tamarisk leaf beetle (Diorhabda elongata) located in Texas and New Mexico; the larger tamarisk leaf beetle (Diorhabda carinata) located in Texas;, and the Subtropical tamarisk leaf beetle (Diorhabda sublineata) located in Texas.

Splendid tamarisk weevils (Coniatus splendidulus) shall also be looked at at the genetic level and determine which species (Coniatus spp.) is present within the Rio Grande River Watershed.

At each site where monitoring occurs along the Rio Grande, NM, including springs and wetlands where high levels of biodiversity occur, TLB and weevil shall be collected. Fifteen specimens of each shall be collected at each site and placed in vials with alcohol. All samples shall be placed in coolers with dry ice in order to preserve each specimen for genetic analysis.

The genetics of each beetle shall be examined using mitochondrial CO1 sequencing. This technique will identify each species, its distribution and if any are hybridized. Each beetle that’s collected and sequenced can be identified at the species level, which can be identified from a single individual. After comparing the locations and identified species of each sample, a detailed summary of the distribution of each of the four species in the Rio Grande River Watershed shall be developed. This summary document with relevant data in the appendices shall be provided.

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 ordinance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordance, 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 regrading 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…
