Cutting Unit Boundary Designation Table. Marked boundary trees shall not be cut. Discernable Boundaries are boundary locations that are readily identifiable features on the ground in locations shown on the Contract Area Map. A Geo-Fence is a location on the ground corresponding to the boundary location shown on a mobile mapping device using a Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver using the digital vector file/shapefile named SolomonDxPIRTCStewardship_Geo-FenceBoundaries and dated 08/25/2022 . The digital vector file/shapefile will be provided to the Contractor by the Forest Service. A digital list of the coordinates can be provided upon request. Included Timber is located within and not past the boundary as shown on the mobile mapping device using the digital vector file/shapefile listed above. Contractor is responsible for obtaining a GPS receiver(s) that is capable of determining the location of the true Geo-Fence within the contract tolerance. Allowable contract tolerance is 40 feet. Forest Service inspection of cutting Included Timber to determine if cutting is within allowable contract tolerance, shall use the digital vector file/shapefile named and dated above using a GPS Receiver with a minimum, tested accuracy in a Light-Medium canopy of 20 feet. National Technology Development Program GPS Receiver accuracy reports by GPS manufacturer and model are available at: xxxxx://xxx.xx.xxx.xx/database/gps/mtdcrept/accuracy/index.htm. Forest Service determination of boundary location will be final. As an operational convenience and subject to written agreement by the Forest Service, in advance of marking, Contractor may mark Geo-Fence boundaries on the ground with Contractor's non-tracer paint. Boundary trees shall not be identified with paint applied below xxxxx height. Contractor shall bear all costs associated with painting used to visually identify boundaries. Forest Service will not approve or accept the boundaries identified on the ground by the Contractor in advance of cutting. In case of a major disruption in GPS service, or lack of GPS coverage on the Contract Area beyond the control of the Contractor, as determined by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor's only remedy shall be Contract Term Adjustment under B8.21. Qualification requirements are described in B8.21. To resolve major disruption of GPS service, or lack of GPS coverage on the Sale Area, the Forest Service may elect to Mark Geo-Fence boundaries on the ground, in which case the Forest Service's determination of boundary lo...
Cutting Unit Boundary Designation Table. Cutting Units Paint Color Designation All Orange Vertical line of paint on 2 sides of boundary trees with a dot between and an additional xxxxx xxxx. Single dot faces the area to be cut. Approximately every 5th Boundary Tree has the cutting unit number painted on it. C3.34 - EMERGENCY RATE REDETERMINATION (06/2022) Forest Service shall redetermine rates for each species if, upon Contractor's application, Forest Service determines that, because of changes in the timber market since the award date or the last rate redetermination under this provision, the Producer Price Index identified in A20 has declined by 25 percent or more. Rates shall be redetermined under B3.3 and for species where the rates declined, shall be considered established under B3.1 for timber Scaled after Contractor's application. Increases in species rates will not be considered. This provision shall not apply during the period of a Contract Term Extension. C4.213 - PERIODIC PAYMENT SCHEDULE. (07/2022) Contractor shall make periodic payments for stumpage value, as shown in A19. If Contractor has not paid the amount(s) stated in A19 as stumpage for volume removed by the periodic payment determination date(s), Forest Service shall issue a bill for collection for the difference between the required amount and payments made by Contractor. If payment(s) fall due on a date other than a normal billing date, the payment date shall be extended to coincide with the next Integrated Resource Account billing date. The amount of the periodic payment(s) will be reduced if the payment(s) would result in Contractor's credit balance for timber charges exceeding the sum of the product value estimated remaining unscaled volumes of Included Timber meeting Utilization Standards. Only cash may be used for this purpose. No other form of payment is acceptable. Forest Service will apply the payments to subsequent charges on this contract under the terms of B4.212. Periodic payment amount(s) shown in A19 will be redetermined when periodic payment amounts have not been reached at time of rate redetermination under B3.3. When shown in A19, the initial periodic payment will be equal to 35 percent of the total redetermined contract value or 50 percent of the total bid premium amount, whichever is greater, plus the total value of timber scaled prior to establishing redetermined rates. The additional periodic payment will be equal to 75 percent of the total redetermined contract value, plus the total value of timber scal...
