Verify with the natural resources office for the
installation the most appropriate option.
The first option should be used when the
Contractor will be required to cut and stack
saleable lumber for the Government.
The second option should be used when the
Government will harvest saleable timber prior to
award of the contract.
The third option should be used when the
Contractor will be required to pay the Government
an
appraised amount for the saleable timber on the
project site. Use of the third option must be
approved by EFD/EFA legal counsel for NAVFAC
projects. When the felled timber has a distinct
commercial value, the disposal of such timber may
be
left to the Contractor provided the Contracting
Officer has reasonable assurance that the bidders
will consider the value of the salvageable timber
in
estimating their bids. An applicable length will
be
inserted in the blank. At hazardous waste sites,
timber removed from areas of contamination is
normally not salable due to liability concerns.
The fourth option should be used when the
disposition of cleared materials is left to the
Contractor's discretion. When the timber that can
be obtained from felled trees is not of sufficient
commercial value to warrant salvaging, this
paragraph may be deleted, and the Contractor
permitted either to make use of or to dispose of
such timber in an approved manner.
When this specification is being used for the
remediation of hazardous waste sites, this paragraph
should define how both contaminated and
non-contaminated materials will be disposed of. As
an alternative, disposal requirements could be
outlined in a separate section. The design analysis
should document how both contaminated and
non-contaminated materials will be disposed of.
