DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK INTRODUCTION Background & Scope of Contract (See attached solicitation document, maps, specifications, etc.) The contractor shall provide any and all labor, equipment, supplies, services, permits, and licenses, necessary to perform a 100% pedestrian archaeological survey of approximately 2,587 acres on the Cuba Ranger District, Santa Fe National Forest. The average site density of the Santa Fe National Forest is approximately 18 sites per section. Site density for the Sierra Nacimiento Restoration (SNR) - Rio Grande Water Fund (RGWF) Cultural Resource Survey Phase II project is estimated as low overall. However, it is recommended that the contractor use outside sources (such as reviews of NMCRIS data and GLO maps) to determine the most accurate site density estimate for the survey areas. The attached statement of work consists of completing the tasks, subtasks and the performance requirements identified in Section 5 of the attached Statement of Work contained within solicitation AG-8379-S-17-0001. Objectives, Description, Location The Santa Fe National Forest (SFNF), in conjunction with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and contributions from the Rio Grande Water Fund (RGWF), intend to conduct forest restoration and fuels reduction treatments on approximately 2,587 acres of USFS lands. The project area has been identified by the Cuba Ranger District as a high priority area for forest restoration and fuels reduction treatments. The main objective of this project is to complete archaeological surveys so that future restoration treatments can be designed and implemented to reduce the threat of high-intensity wildfire, restore forest function and structure, and make firewood and other small-diameter wood products available to local communities, tribes, and individuals. The project area is located in Sections 31-35 of Township 21 North, Range 2 East; Sections 1 & 12 of Township 20 North, Range 1 East; and Sections 3-9 of Township 20 North, Range 2 East as shown on the Rancho del Chaparral and Seven Springs USGS 7.5 Quadrangles. The project area has a diverse range of vegetation types including: ponderosa pine, mixed conifer, spruce-fir, Arizona fescue montane grasslands, wet meadows and riparian corridors. Unlike other parts of the Jemez Mountains, this area has not seen a recent catastrophic wildfire, but recent forest stand exam data from the project area indicate the forest is heavily overstocked. In order to comply with section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, a project survey for cultural resources will be required. A total of approximately 2,587 acres will be surveyed resulting in the report production and data entry using Forest Service Natural Resource Management (NRM) database and Geographic Information System (GIS) Geodatabase. Furthermore, this survey and site documentation shall conform to the First Amended Programmatic Agreement (PA) Appendix J. Management recommendations shall be based upon the Agreed-Upon Standard Site Protection Measures in Appendix J Sections II & III. All solicitation provisions and contract clauses pertaining to this announcement are contained in the attached solicitation document AG-8379-S-17-0001. This solicitation will result in a best value contract that is Firm Fixed Price and will be Performance Based. Potential contractors must provide a written response to the evaluation criteria contained in section M in order to be considered for award. The performance period will begin approximately April 04, 2017. This date is weather and site dependent. Please see attached solicitation Documents, Maps and Fire Plan. Quotes are due via e-mail no later than Tuesday February 07, 2017, 10:00 A.M. MDT. Email quote to Joseph Varoz - jvaroz@fs.fed.us.
