Offer shall include all transportation costs and applicable taxes in quotation. Direct all questions regarding this Solicitation, and any questions or Issues relating to the accessibility of this Solicitation (Including the appendices and exhibits to this Document, and any other document related to this Solicitation), to: Lau, Rick. SCOPE OF WORK Access: The project site is in the remote backcountry forest and will require helicopter access. The Contractor shall not establish any LZ, camp, material stockpile, or trail (other than the fence line corridor and service trail) without the approval of the conservation manager of Maui Land and Pineapple, Company (MLP). Terrain: The terrain is generally steep, crosses a large stream, and is covered by dense vegetation. Weather: Weather conditions at the site can be extreme and may change rapidly, making work schedules weather contingent. The Contractor must have the flexibility to take advantage of favorable weather windows. Materials: DOFAW will procure most of the necessary materials for the project. Materials will be stockpiled by DOFAW and distributed to the Contractor as needed. Materials to be supplied by DOFAW DOFAW will provide the following materials and will maintain ownership of any unused materials. These materials should be in excess of what is needed to construct the fence. The contractor will be responsible for supplying any materials above and beyond those listed below which are necessary to construct the fence as specified. QTY Material 190 Hog Panel 100 10' T-Post 2,000 Clips Equipment: The contractor is responsible for all tools, and equipment needed to build the fence as well as the cost to transport them to and from the site. DOFAW will not provide any communications equipment or personal protective equipment. Labor, Supplies and Transportation Costs: The Contractor will be responsible for providing the necessary equipment, supplies, tools, and labor required to construct fence per the specifications contained herein. The Contractor will be also be responsible for transporting all equipment, materials, personnel, and supplies to and from the project site. The majority of the materials needed for the construction of the fence will be stockpiled at the MLP Baseyard Landing Zone, located a few minutes up a gated road near the intersection of Napilihau Road and Honoanapili Highway in Napili, West Maui. The Contractor is solely responsible for transport of the materials (via helicopter) from the LZ to the project site. At the Contractor's discretion, "bulk" material stockpiles may be established along the fence alignment for later distribution. These stockpile locations must be approved by MLP in advance. Site preparation: The preliminary fence alignment will be marked with flagging in the field. GPS locations for major corners, drainage crossings, possible helicopter landing areas, etc. will also be provided to the Contractor. DOFAW will conduct a survey for rare/endangered plants and historic features prior to start of construction. Any areas of special concern will be conspicuously flagged and must not be disturbed or damaged. If human remains, historic or prehistoric artifacts are found during construction, work should cease in the vicinity of the find and DOFAW and MLP staff should be notified immediately. The Contractor will be responsible for any vegetation clearing required for fence construction. The project site is in the rain forest with dense fern and shrub understory; extensive brushing will be required. Any clearing will be done by hand or with small power tools only. The Contractor may clear a corridor no more than eight feet (8') ft. in width. Debris must be scattered away from the fence so as not to impede foot traffic along the fence line or interfere with installation of apron wire. No standing trees greater than 4" DBH shall be cut. When the fence is completed, vegetation clearing shall be sufficient to establish a service trail along the uphill side of the fence for the entire distance, allowing maintenance workers to hike along the fence without having to cross over. The specific location of corner posts along the fence line will be left to the Contractor's discretion however major deviations [more than 50'] from the original flagged alignment must be approved by DOFAW staff prior to any work taking place. Camping: The location of the project area is remote. Construction camps will be permitted. Areas near the fence line that are suitable for location of safe helicopter landing zones, camping areas, and material stockpiles are scarce, as the terrain is very steep. DOFAW staff will provide the Contractor with GPS locations of known sites that may be acceptable for these purposes. Use of any location for camps or material stockpiles requires prior authorization from the MLP conservation manager. Hunting: In accordance with rules set by the MLP conservation manager. Storage: It is up to the contractor to provide any offsite storage for materials and equipment. Fire prevention: The Contractor will be required to have at least two 4.5 kg (10 lb.) fire extinguishers for suppression and control of type A and B fires on the job site at all times. These extinguishers must be readily accessible while a potential ignition source such as a power tool, generator, or spark emitter (such as a pipe saw or grinder) is in use. All gasoline powered equipment must have a functioning spark arrestor. Absolutely NO WELDING is permitted on the project site. Native and Alien Plants and Animals: The purpose of this project is to protect habitat with a high conservation value. Plants or animals may not be removed from the area. The Contractor will also implement precautions to prevent the introduction of alien plants, insects, and amphibians (e.g., coqui frogs [Eleutherodaclylus coqui]; see below). All equipment and personal belongings must be cleaned and sanitized to prevent the transmission of Rapid Ohia Death (ROD) or other forest pathogens. ROD sanitation treatments must occur every time the contractor leaves the area and returns to the project area. We expect Spectracide to be sprayed on cut wounds on Ohia (no other native plants). The State will not supply the Spectracide, but it is inexpensive and commercially available in many local stores. The Contractor will also take precautions to prevent spreading alien plants already found at the fencing sites. For Contractors arriving from other islands, contractors must perform these tasks prior to transporting your equipment and personal gear to Maui. The Contractor will not store materials prior to material drops in areas known to contain ROD. Equipment and materials will be inspected for seeds, eggs, larvae, etc., prior to delivery to the site and cleaned as necessary. The Contractor will take precautions to prevent spreading alien plants already at the fencing sites. The MLP conservation manager will ensure that the contractor complies with this requirement. Preventing the Introduction of Alien Species: Control of non-native plants and animals is a high priority in Hawaii. A large amount of personnel time and resources are expended annually to control alien species. Inspect field gear and equipment before going into the field. Dirt or mud can hide alien weeds and insects. It is necessary to inspect and clean: footwear; clothes, gear and material. Appropriate methods to clean gear include: water and hose, brush, clean rag, knife edge, or insecticide. Cleaning should be done in a designated area with a nearby receptacle for disposal. Pack out trash and unused foodstuffs: Do not bury trash in the field. Avoid taking in any fruits that have seeds with the potential to naturalize (e.g. cherry tomatoes, chili peppers, berries, and guava). Organic trash (e.g. orange and banana skins) should be treated as other garbage and packed out. Garbage that is discarded in the field has the potential to spread insects, fungi, and other plant pathogens and may provide food for alien vertebrates. Project Completion: The Contractor will remove all scrap (e.g., wire mesh, smooth wire, damaged posts, and discarded spades), tools, and trash. Surplus materials such as fence posts or pipe will be arranged neatly near the fence line (or in stockpiles) and an inventory with their location(s) provided to DOFAW. Experience: Must be familiar with installation of ungulate-proof fencing in remote areas with rough terrain and have had related project experience in Hawaii. Offeror shall provide in their proposal a description of and references from at least two (2) feral-ungulate-proof (e.g. pig, goat, sheep or deer) fence installation projects in remote areas with no roads (requiring helicopter transport of materials and/or crews) in the State of Hawaii of at least 400m each. Note the project is located on steep terrain and will require rappelling.
