A Processing and Storage area will be designated for the contractors use throughout the contract if requested. Trees and Shrubs are defined in the Contract Specifications. Wood, or chips which have been stacked or piled in Processing and Storage Areas, by the contractor is the property of the contractor until Final Acceptance of Unit or Project. Prior to Final Acceptance, wood chips must be removed from Government Property by the contactor, unless otherwise agreed to by the Contracting Officer. The Schedule of Items contains a Base Bid, an Option 1, and an Option 2. The Units in the Base Bid are Categorized as being easy, to moderately difficult to treat and complete the prescription of Cutting to Specification and Chipping to Specification, or just Chipping to Specification. The Units in the Option 1, are Categorized as being More to Very Difficult to treat and to successfully complete Chipping to Specification. It is determined that units in Option 1 may require the Contractor be required to use innovative methodology and may need to use equipment other than a pull behind or remote controlled Chipper. Option 1 units may require additional skilled personnel or require that the contractor utilize more personnel. Option 1 units are located on steeper slopes, or are possibly less accessible, or are located such that the contractor must be more knowledgeable in techniques to chip to specification such acreage. The Units in Option 2 are Categorized as being more than Very Difficult to treat to specification. It is determined that units in Option 2 may not be treatable by conventional methodology. Units in Option 2 may require the contractor to use machinery appropriate to accessing these remote units, or using techniques that require innovative methodology. The Forest Service expects to award the Base Bid and Option 1 if Unit Prices are less than the cost of doing similar work by using Forest Service Fire Personnel to burn piles during the appropriate season. The Forest Service expects to award the Option 2 portion of the contract if the cost of doing similar work is the same or only somewhat more than the cost of using Forest Service Fire Personnel to burn the piles during the appropriate season. The Forest Service is aware that Option 2 acreage may not be feasible to treat by Chipping-in-Place or Chipped to Specification. All acreage in all units will be paid for at Actual Quantities. Only acreage completed by Chipping to Specification will be paid for at Bid Price. Acreage which cannot be Chipped to Specification will be measured and quantities reduced for each unit. No reduction or increase in Unit Price will be negotiated for acreage Chipped or not Chipped. Contractor is expected to review all acreage and units prior to submitting the Request For Proposal as the Forest Service expects the units and acreage to be treated to specification unless otherwise stated in the Request for Proposal. Units or portions of the project are at elevations which are subject to early or late winters. Other locations are at lower elevations and are not subject to lengthy weather delays. This 120 day contract is for a continuous period of time and only very unusual weather will be permitted to delay the completion date. Some units are at higher elevations and get snows which do not melt until late in the Spring. Other locations on the project get snow which melts in a shorter length of time. Contractor is expected to schedule work on the project such that all work is completed within the 120 days scheduled. Contractor is expected to submit a proposed work schedule with the submitted Request For Proposal which will be used in the evaluation and will indicate how contractor will complete the project before the end of Calendar year 2009. Offers are due no later than September 4, 2009 at 1330. The technical point of contact is Bob Emley at 559-280-0105 or remley@fs.fed.us
