DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK INTRODUCTION Background & Scope of Contract (See attached solicitation document, maps, specifications, etc.) The Santa Fe National Forest (SFNF), in conjunction with private landowners, intends to conduct fuel reduction treatments on approximately 662 acres of USFS land that borders private lands in Jemez Springs, New Mexico. The project area has been identified by the Jemez Ranger District as a high priority area for fuel reduction treatments. The objectives of this contract is to complete archaeological surveys within the project area so that fuel reduction treatments can be designed and implemented to reduce the threat of high-intensity wildfire to the community of Jemez Springs as well as to springs in the area that serve as the source for much of the water supply for Jemez Springs. The project area is located in Sections 1, 2, 11, and 12 of Township 18 North, Range 2 East as shown on the Jemez Springs USGS 7.5 Quadrangle. The project area is primarily in mixed pinon-juniper woodland and ponderosa pine forest. The project area is characterized by steep slopes and numerous drainages and arroyos. 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 662 acres will be surveyed, resulting in the submission of a final report describing the results of the survey and recommendations of eligibility for newly documented cultural resource sites to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). In addition, data entry using Forest Service Natural Resource Management (NRM) database and Geographic Information System (GIS) Geodatabase will be required. Furthermore, this survey and site documentation shall conform to the First Amended Programmatic Agreement (PA) Appendix A. Management recommendations shall be based upon the Agreed-Upon Standard Site Protection Measures in Appendix J of the PA Sections II & III.

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.
