Execute construction through contract, force account, or other appropriate methods. Review force account construction in accordance with Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76. Regardless of the method of construction, include appropriate drawings, specifications, construction administration, and inspection for each project. Assign to each project an individual certified to inspect the work (FSM 7115). Contractors must abide by all local and State laws including securing building, utility, and other permits to execute the work. This requirement is covered by Federal Acquisition Regulation Clause 52.236-7 and applies to fixed -price contracts. Building permit coordination prior to construction shall_ be done by the Forest Service and specific permits required to execute the work shall be secured by the contractor.. If the State or local authorities provide inspection services as a part of permit requirements, the Forest Service may consider those services as part of the contractor -provided quality control. The responsible official approves all changes in drawings and specifications (FSM 7313.3). Significant changes shall be discussed with the designer. Conduct a final construction inspection to determine whether the project work is substantially in compliance with project drawings and specifica- tions. Do not permit occupancy or use of the facility until code requirements for the proposed occupancy are met. Complete record drawings of the structure (as built) and include them in the facility records (ch. 60). WO AMENDMENT 7309.11-95-6 7309.11,30 EFFECTIVE 1/9/95 Page 26 of 26 34.25 - Drawinas and Specifications. Each project should have drawings and specifications applicable to the work. Use the Construction Specifications Institute format for construction specifications for all buildings, structures, electrical and mechanical systems, special systems, water and sewage systems, driveways, and parking lots associated with the construction of administrative and recreation complexes. Regions are encouraged to establish base layering and software criteria to facilitate intra-Regional sharing of software and CAD -based standard drawings throughout the Forest Service. 34.26 - Desian Review and Approval. A review team should review each project designed for construction by the Forest Service to ensure that it is techically adequate and fulfils program needs._ Review and document the findings at each of the conceptual, preliminary, and final design stages. Review stages may be combined for minor projects. The review team should consist of persons with a level of expertise commensurate with the project and possessing an appropriate mix of experience and technical skills. Consider using value engineering concepts in all reviews. Project design is not final until the final drawings include the signature of the Regional Staff Director for engineering activities or the Assistant Director for Administration, or individuals delegated specific authority to act on these matters. 34.27 - Coordination with State and Local Authorities. Federal agencies are required to coordinate with State and local zoning and building officials prior to commencing construction of Federal facilities (Public Buildings Act Amendments of 1988 (PBAA), Title 40 United States Code 601 Note, 617-619, 619 Note). Although contract clauses require contractors to comply with all local codes and permits, coordination of drawings during planning and design reviews should be done by the owner rather than construction contractors. See section 35 for direction on construction permits. Even though specific recommendations for the project provided by the local jurisdiction are of an advisory nature, be sure to cooperate with local jurisdictions. Local managers should consider developing a Memorandum of Agreement (MCA) or other specific written protocol for local coordination in accordance with the Public Buildings Act. As the law specifically prohibits local jurisdictions from assessing the Federal government fees for plan reviews, inspection services, or building permits, some authorities may not wish to participate in such a MOA. Document in the project records if the local jurisdiction declines to review project drawings. Technical services requested by the Forest Service, such as checking plans and specific inspections to supplement or in lieu of Federal reviews, may be purchased from local building departments. • 1+ West 4th 401.4 sfreer--\ T.7N., R.69W. —6 PM.

The number of engines will remain at 1, however, engine staffing could increase from 3 to 4 to provide a three person engine crew seven days a week. 2. The number of Prevention Technicians could increase from 0 to 1. Sulphur Ranger District Office: 1. The number of engines will remain at 1, however, engine staffing could increase from 3 to 4 to provide a three person engine crew seven days a week. 2. The number of Prevention Technicians could increase from 0 to 1. The increase in the number of personnel assigned to specific fire engines and crews provides for safer operations. Firefighter and public safety continue to be our primary concern, every fire, every time. • The strategically located fire fighting equipment and personnel will have a greater presence in the communities and the forest. Firefighters will be able to interact more with forest visitors, adjacent landowners and communities providing more information on fire prevention. • The improved fire facilities and increased staffing will support the implementation of an aggressive fuel management program to reduce the risk to adjacent interface communities and reduce fire suppression costs. (List of what an interface community will be published on Dec 8`h in federal register) • The average number of acres we have treated for fuel hazard reduction over the past five years is 2,549. In 2001 our target is to treat 6573 acres. Fuel hazard treatments include prescribed fire and a variety of mechanical treatments. We expect to treat more acres in future years, 9-10,000+. • Over the last 40 years we have averages approximately 52 fires a year for 834 acres, In 2000, we had 78 fires, the Bobcat being the largest with 10,599 acres (7295 acres were National Forest System lands and 3,304 on private land). • The Hazardous Fuel Treatment funds we receive will help us implement our Forest Plan at a more effective and efficient rate. • The National Fire Plan is part of the overall balanced program we will be working on each year as we implement our Forest Plan. storage bay) at the existing work center location. Other construction being proposed includes employee parking and driveways and upgrades to existing water and,sewage facilities. • The fire facilities allow us to pre -position fire fighting personnel and equipment to reduce response time to fires. Quicker response times can increase initial attack success. Specifically, firefighting forces could increase as follows: Fort Collins Administrative Site: 1. The number of engines will remain at 1; however, engine staffing could increase from 3 engine crew members to 4, this will provide each engine with a full three person crew for a full seven day coverage. 2. The number of hand crews could increase from 0 to 1, with 8 crew members, to provide hand crew coverage of a five person hand crew seven days a week. 3. We will also be hosting a new 20 person hotshot crew, becoming the third hotshot crew in Colorado. 4. The number of Prevention Technicians could increase from 0 to 1. Redfeather Lakes Work Center: 1. The number of engines will remain at 2; however, engine staffing could increase from 6 to 9 to provide each engine with a full three - person crew for a full seven-day coverage. Estes Park Work Center: 2. The number of engines will remain at 1; however, the engine staffing could increase from 3 to 4 to provide a full three -person crew for a full seven-day coverage.The number of Prevention Technicians could increase from 0 to 1. Nederland Work Center: 3. The number of engines will remain at 2; however, engine staffing could increase from 8 to 9 to provide a full three -person crew for a full seven-day coverage. 4. The number of hand crews could increase from 0 to 1, with 7 crew members, to provide hand crew coverage of a five person hand crew seven days a week. o Rehabilitation and Restoration. Restore landscapes and rebuild communities damaged by the wildfires of 2000. o Hazardous Fuel reduction. Invest in projects to reduce fire risk. o Community Assistance. Work directly with communities to ensure adequate protection. o Accountability. Be accountable and establish adequate oversight, coordination, program development, and monitoring for performance. • Successful implementation of the National Fire Plan will, in the long term: o Reduce the number of small fires that become large fires o Restore natural ecological systems to minimize uncharacteristically intense fires o Create new jobs in both the private and public sectors o Improve capabilities for state and volunteer fire organizations o Reduce the threat to life and property from catastrophic wildfire • Facility Improvement projects are being proposed at 3 locations. The intent of the projects is to upgrade and improve the firefighter living and work facilities to strategically locate firefighting equipment and personnel to support wildfire suppression activities. These facilities are proposed for: o Fort Collins Administrative Site located at 300 Hemlock Street, just West of North College Avenue. This proposal includes the construction of 20-person crew quarter and office/training facility for the new Fort Collins Hotshot Crew; a helicopter landing pad (for intermittent and emergency use); engine storage/Tire cacne racimy and a flammable substance (paint pump saw gas, and burning fuel) storage facility. This proposal may include removal of one or more of the existing buildings due to their poor condition as well as the replacement of current temporary storage (trailers and�t1ge containers) with permanent storarra o Redfeather Work Center located at 274 Dowdy Lake Road in Red Feather Lakes. Proposals include the construction of a new 10- person bunkhouse, remodel or add -on to the existing facilities, and engine storage facility and a pilot ready room for the existing helibase adjacent to the work center as well as upgrading water, sewer electric and telecommunications. o Nederland Work Center located at 534 Ridge Road in Nederland. This proposal includes construction of two barracks for fire and fuels crew housing (one 6 person barrack and one Type III Engine Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland National Fire Plan Talking Points Last updated 1128101 12OOhrs • On August 8, 2000, President Clinton asked Secretaries Babbitt and Glickman to prepare a report recommending how to best respond to this year's severe fires, reduce the impacts of these wildland fires on rural communities and ensure sufficient firefighting resources in the future. • The report, entitled "Managing the Impacts of Wildfire on Communities and the Environment: a Report to the President In Response to the Wildfires of 2000" was submitted by the Secretaries to the President on September 9th. Full funding for the report, commonly known as "The National Fire Plan" has been appropriated at about 1.7 billion. • The President has approved the congressional appropriation of $1.7 billion in additional Forest Service funds for projects and activities identified in the National Fire Plan. Of the $1.7 billion, $33 million was earmarked for construction and reconstruction of facilities related to fire suppression. The ARNF/PNG will receive approximately $1.8 million more in firefighting funds, $1.4 million in fuel reduction funds and $3.2 million in facility construction funds, as a result. (last year we received approximately. $1 million in firefighting funds, $400,000 in fuel reduction funds and no facility construction funds.) • This increase in funding could result in up to 60 new permanent and temporary wildland fire positions being added to the ARNF/PNG workforce. Firefighters are a highly qualified, physically fit and integral part of our workforce. • Firefighters will receive a minimum of 40 hours fire training as well as be expected to pass a "pack test ". The `pack test" requires that each firefighter carry a 45 lb. pack for 3 miles in less than 45 minutes. • The National Fire plan recognizes the need to reduce catastrophic wildland fire threats by calling for action and funding in 5 key areas: o Firefighting. Continue to fight fires for the rest of this fire season and be adequately prepared for next year. PANORAMA VIEW LOOKING NORTH FROM SITE CENTER U.S. FOREST SERVICE ADMIN. SITE 300 W. HEMLOCK - FT.
