B.2 BACKGROUND
(a) Established in 1905, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service (FS) is a Federal Agency that
manages public lands in national forests and grasslands under a founding principle, "To provide the greatest amount of
good for the greatest amount of people in the long run". The agency’s mission is to “sustain the health, diversity, and
productivity of the Nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations”. The FS has the
responsibility for stewardship of more than 193 million acres of the nation’s forests and grasslands; for developing and
communicating scientific knowledge through research and Support that leads to informed natural resource decision-
making; for delivering technical assistance through state and private forestry programs; and for sharing knowledge and
experience with others in the global community through international forestry.
(b) Through technical and financial assistance, the USDA Forest Service assists States and private landowners in
practicing good stewardship, promoting rural economic development, and improving the natural environment of cities
and communities. The agency continues to develop and use the best available scientific information to facilitate
achievement of our goals and objectives. Domestic and international activities are directed at developing values,
products, and services in such a way as to maintain ecosystem health.
(c) The Oregon Department of Transportation requires the U.S. Forest Service to post warning signs and/or provide
flaggers/pilot cars whenever smoke can be seen from highways or smoke obstructs motorist's visibility when driving on
Oregon State Highways. The work is generally intermittent and of short duration. IAW Oregon Occupational Safety and
Health (OSHA), located at https://osha.oregon.gov/Pages/topics/flagging.aspx, “Flagging, and flaggers, are typically
used when one lane of a road is closed and traffic must share the remaining lane. Flagging operations must accommodate
all vehicles on the road, including non-motorized vehicles. Flaggers, who have completed formal training and have
certification in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, or Montana, may practice as a certified flagger in Oregon. Flaggers must
also be at least 18.”
(d) There is long history of contracting for staffing augmentation as a means of supporting additional workload
requirements, and to mitigate temporary position vacancies. This Indefinite-Quantity, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ)
contract is established to provide a more streamlined and consistent approach to meet requirements for contracted
staffing positions applicable to the requirements of the Service Contract Labor Standards.
B.3 SCOPE
a) This Non-Personal Service Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is for Flagging/Pilot Car services
in support of prescribed burning efforts on the Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests. The Oregon Department of
Transportation requires the U.S. Forest Service to post warning signs and/or provide flaggers/pilot cars whenever smoke
can be seen from highways or obstructs motorist's visibility when driving on Oregon State Highways. The work is
generally intermittent and of short duration. We are contracting for three (3) levels of service, plus Electronic Reader
(Message) Boards for a total of 6 Contract Line Items (CLIN) per year. Hourly rates will include all costs for each stand-
alone job, which entails flagging services required to secure a given site; flagging/signs at each end of the site and all
support therein. There may be multiple sites along the same highway, and these will be viewed as separate jobs.
(b) Services. Deschutes and Ochoco National Forest have had an ongoing Prescribed Fire flagging support contract for
over a decade. The services provided are somewhat specialized when compared to normal flagging (e.g., road
construction) operations as they involve active fire operations, fluctuating smoke levels, and a need for experience in and
understanding of the operational fire environment. At the same time, response times can and often are quite short based
on the fluctuating nature of environmental conditions conducive for prescribed fire operations. While industry standards
suggest a 2-man flagging crew working an 8-hour shift Monday – Friday, services associated with this vehicle
historically have involved weekend work and shifts beyond 8-hours.

B.15 NOTICE OF CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM (JULY 2010)
(a) The US Forest Service has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) for
reporting all past performance information. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to
record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.
(b) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based
system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is
available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past
performance as part of a source selection action.
(c) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer with the name, position title, phone number, and email
address for each person designated to have access to your firm’s past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no
later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the
Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning
the report to the Assessing Official. The report information must be protected as source selection sensitive
information not releasable to the public.
(d) When your Contractor Representative(s) (Past Performance Points of Contact) are registered in CPARS, they
will receive an automatically-generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems
requirements, and training information for CPARS are available at http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/. The CPARS
User Manual, registration for On Line Training for Contractor Representatives, and a practice application may be
found at this site.
(e) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the Contracting Officer will complete an interim or final
past performance evaluation and the report will be accessible at http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/. Contractor
Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation, or return the evaluation without
comment. Comments are limited to the space provided in Block 22. Your comments should focus on objective
facts in the Assessing Official’s narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the
assessed performance. In addition to the ratings and supporting narratives, blocks 1 – 17 should be reviewed for
accuracy, as these include key fields that will be used by the Government to identify your firm in future source
selection actions. If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating
“No comment” in Block 22, and then signing and dating Block 23 of the form. Without a statement in Block 22,
you will be unable to sign and submit the evaluation back to the Government. If you do not sign and submit the
CPAR within 30 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: “The report was
delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to
this assessment.” Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR.
(f) The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:
(1) Protect the evaluation as “source selection information.” After review, transmit the evaluation by
completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit
the form through CPARS, contact the Contracting Officer for instructions.
(2) Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to
persons or entities outside of your control.
13
SECTION B
(3) Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys,
responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.
(g) If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the Contracting
Officer no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via
telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.
(h) A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for
Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.

(2) Have, have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil
judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining,
attempting to obtain, or performing a Federal, state or local government contract or subcontract; violation of Federal

Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,500 for which the liability remains unsatisfied.
(i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:
(A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability
is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge
to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.
(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the
tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced
collection action is precluded.
(ii) Examples.
(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer
to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax
liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has
exercised all judicial appear rights.
(B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has
been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals
Contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In
the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had
no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should
the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial
appeal rights.
(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making
timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the
taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.
(D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced
collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

13126). [The Contracting Officer must list in paragraph (i)(1) any end products being acquired under this

Precaution Levels will supersede the attached levels
INDUSTRIAL FIRE PRECAUTIONS SCHEDULE
INDUSTRIAL FIRE PRECAUTION (IFPL)
LEVEL
I. Closed season - Fire precaution requirements are in effect. A fire watch/security is required at this and all
higher levels unless otherwise waived.
II. Partial hootowl - The following may operate only between the hours of 8 p.m. and 1 p.m., local time:
a. power saws, except at loading sites;
b. cable yarding;
c. blasting;
d. welding or cutting of metal.
III. Partial shutdown - The following shall be prohibited except as indicated:
Cable yarding - except that gravity operated logging systems employing non- motorized carriages may be
operated between the hours of 8 p.m. and 1 p.m., local time, when all block and moving lines, except the line
between the carriage and the chokers, are suspended 10 feet above the ground;
Power saws - except power saws may be used at loading sites and on tractor/skidder operations between the
hours of 8 p.m. and 1 p.m., local time.
In addition, the following are permitted between the hours of 8 p.m. and 1 p.m., local time:
a. tractor/skidder operations;
b. mechanized loading and hauling of any product or material;
c. blasting;
d. welding or cutting of metal;
e. any other spark-emitting operation not specifically mentioned.
IV. General shutdown - All operations are prohibited.
The following definitions shall apply to these Industrial Fire Precaution Levels:
Cable yarding systems: A yarding system employing cables and winches in a fixed position.
Closed season (Fire Precautionary Period): That season of the year when a fire hazard exists as declared by
the responsible agency official.
Contracting Officer: The person executing the contract, permit or license on behalf of the Government and
includes that person's designated representative, acting within the limits of their authority or the duly appointed
successor to the individuals.
Loading sites/woods site/project area: A place where any product or material (including but not limited to
logs, firewood, slash, soil, rock, poles, posts, etc.) is placed in or upon a truck or other vehicle
Low hazard area: Means any area where the responsible agency representative (WDNR, ORF, BIA, BLM)
determines the combination of elements reduces the probability of fire starting and/or spreading.
Tractor/skidder operations: include a harvesting operation, or portion of a harvesting operation, where

tractors, skidders, or other harvesting equipment capable of constructing fireline, are actively yarding forest products
and can quickly reach and effectively attack a fire start.
Waivers, written in advance, may be used for any and all activities. Activities for which waivers may be issued
include, but are not limited to:
a. mechanized loading and hauling;

b. road maintenance such as sprinkling, graveling, grading and paving;
c. cable yarding using gravity systems or suspended lines and blocks, or other yarding
systems where extra prevention measures will significantly reduce the risk of fire;
d. powers saws at loading sites or in felling and bucking where extra prevention
measures will significantly reduce the risk of fire;
e. maintenance of equipment (other than metal cutting and welding) or improvements such as
structures, fences and powerlines.
Such waiver, or substitute precautions will prescribe measures to be taken by the Contractor to reduce the risk of
ignition, and/or the spread of fire. The Contracting Officer shall consider site specific weather factors, fuel
conditions, and specific operations that result in less risk of fire ignition and/or spread than contemplated when
precaution level was predicted. Consideration shall also be given to measures that reduce the precaution levels
above. The Contractor shall assure that all conditions of such waivers or substitute precautions are met.
The Contractor shall obtain the predicted Industrial Fire Precaution Level daily, prior to the start of work, from the
appropriate Ranger District headquarters. If predictions made after 6:00 p.m., local time, are significantly different
than the original prediction, the Forest Service will inform the Contractor when changes in restrictions or industrial
precautions are made.
NOTE: The IFPL system does not apply on lands protected by ODF east of the summit of the Cascades.
Where hauling involves transit through more than one shutdown/regulated use area, the precaution level at the
woods loading site shall govern the level of haul restriction, unless otherwise prohibited by other than industrial
precaution level system.
8. Fire Tools
The Contractor shall furnish serviceable fire fighting tools in a readily accessible fire tool box or compartment of
sound construction with a hinged lid and hasp so arranged that the box can be secured or sealed. The box shall be
red and marked "Fire Tools" in letters one inch high. It shall contain a minimum of:
a. 2 axes or Pulaskis with a 32-inch handle;
b. 3 adze eye hoes. One Pulaski may be substituted for 1 adze eye hoe;
c. 3 long-handled, round point shovels, size "0" or larger.

** Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher

minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($16.20) or 13658
($12.15). Please see the Note at the top of the wage
determination for more information.
Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave

for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the
Davis-Bacon 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 a victim of, domestic
violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information
on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO
is available at
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within

the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).
The body of each wage determination lists the classification

and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local),
a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate
(weighted union average rate).
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed

in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or
'"'UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were
prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of
the union which prevailed in the survey for this
classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198
indicates the local union number or district council number
where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number,
005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing
the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the
most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,
2014.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate

changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing
this classification and rate.
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that

no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and
the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average
rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that
classification. As this weighted average rate includes all
rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and
non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates
the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average
calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates
the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which
these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007
in the example, is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion
date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a
new survey is conducted.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate

that no single majority rate prevailed for those
classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the
classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010
08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union
average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in
the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage
determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date
for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of

each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current
negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is
based.
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be:
* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on
a wage determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests
for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour
National Office because National Office has responsibility for
the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this
initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described
in 2.) and 3.) should be followed.
With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal
process described here, initial contact should be with the
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations

Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an

interested party (those affected by the action) can request
review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator
(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:
Wage and Hour Administrator

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the

interested party's position and by any information (wage
payment data, project description, area practice material,
etc.) that the requester considers relevant to the issue.
3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an

interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative
Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:
Administrative Review Board

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
