4.0 SCOPE OF WORK & VENDOR'S PROPOSAL CONTENT REQUIREMENTS
4.1 SCOPE OF WORK
The Contractor shall be required to provide all labor, equipment and materials necessary for storm debris removal in
Cumberland County on the Lower Little River and the South River, and the alternate bid stream segments in the Flea
Hill Drainage District. The Contractor will be responsible for removing all debris from the rivers. Debris may include
trees, tree mats, roots, manmade debris and structures, and miscellaneous debris that is hazardous and/or is blocking the
safe passage of the stream. Stumps that are intact in the banks of the creeks will be permitted to remain. The job will be
bid based on linear footage. Remove the debris and deposit the debris a minimum 30 feet from the streambank, cable the
debris, anchoring it to living trees.
The Contractor will be required to access private property to gain access to the rivers. The contractor is responsible for
acquiring access permission for properties as well as any permits needed to complete the work. Any property damaged
or disturbed in the performance of this work is to be restored to the initial condition as is the responsibility of the
contractor. The contractor is responsible for working out easements with utility companies, railroad companies, and the
NC Department of Transportation to ensure that they notify them of the work taking place. The County will provide
maps that document the beginning and end points of the project (Attachment E). The project will be bid based on the
segments provided. The Contractor must observe all OSHA, Federal and State regulations/guidelines regarding working
on the project.
The Contractor is prohibited from working on Sunday. All work may be performed from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday
through Saturday, unless noted otherwise.
In the event of a significant rainfall event such as a Hurricane, or Tropical Storm, work in Cumberland County should
stop 24 hours prior to a tropical storm, or hurricane warning and should not return until the water levels return to a
normal level.
According to Natural Resources Conservation Service deadlines, we expect the contractor to get to the site and begin
work within 45 days of the executed date of the contract. Should this not occur, a written explanation must be presented
to the Cumberland Soil and Water Conservation District Board for approval.
No payment will be made to Vendor without prior inspection. Contractor must be willing to show the Cumberland Soil
and Water Conservation District Representatives, and Natural Resources Conservation Service Inspectors the work has
been completed prior to payment.
The contractor will be responsible to provide the transportation on the day of the site visit approval inspection with the
Cumberland Soil and Water Conservation District Representatives and/or Natural Resources Conservation Service
Inspectors.
Work should never be done when River Levels exceed the normal flow height. This data can be obtained from the USGS
Water Data Website at the link below. Debris removal when the levels are high could result in additional work required.
Please use the nearest stream gauge to the site that you are working.
USGS WaterWatch -- Streamflow conditions - https://waterwatch.usgs.gov/?m=real&r=nc
All work shall be performed following the Best Management Practices for Selective Clearing and Snagging found on
the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services website referred to as Appendix B. The link is
https://www.ncagr.gov/soil-water/swcstrap-usace-bmps-clearing-snagging/open and also the information is below.

Proposal Number: RFP #26-39-S&W Storm Debris Removal in Cumberland County
Trees and brush that shade streams and stabilize the banks should not be disturbed. In new channel construction, existing
trees and brush should be left in place along the tops of banks. No stream work, including bank clearing and excavation
or removal of materials, "snags", or other channel obstructions, should be allowed except at specific locations where
significant blockages in streams occur. Channel excavation and snag removal should be accomplished with the minimum
streambank clearing needed to provide access to the stream and should not be undertaken unless it is necessary. The
following BMPs prescribe the manner in which snag removal and stream channel clearing should be undertaken:
a. Practices for snagging.
(1) Logjam removal. Only those log accumulations that are obstructing flows to a degree that results in flooding
or significant ponding or sediment deposition should be removed.
(2) Removal of other logs.
* Affixed logs. Isolated or single logs should not be disturbed if they are embedded, jammed, rooted,
or waterlogged in the channel or in the floodplain, if they are not subject to displacement by current,
and if they are not presently blocking flows. Generally, embedded logs that are parallel to the
channel are not considered to cause blockage problems and should not be removed. Affixed logs
that are crossways to the flow of waters in the channel and are trapping debris to the extent that
could result in significant flooding or sedimentation may be removed.
* Free logs. All logs that are not rooted, embedded, jammed, or sufficiently waterlogged to resist
movement by stream currents may be removed from the channel.
(3) Protecting riparian vegetation. No rooted trees, whether alive or dead, should be cut unless:
* They are leaning over the channel at an angle greater than 30 deg of vertical and they are dead or
severely undercut, or damaged root systems are relying upon adjacent vegetation for support and it
appears they will fall into the channel within 1 year and create blockage to flows; or
* Their removal from the floodplain is required to secure access for equipment to a point where a
significant blockage has been selected for removal.
* Trees selected for removal should be cut well above the base leaving the stump and roots
undisturbed. Procedures for removing the felled portion should be the same as for other logs as
discussed below.
(4) Equipment for log removal. First consideration should be given to the use of hand-operated equipment to
remove log accumulations. When the use of hand-operated equipment is infeasible, vehicular equipment
should be used in accordance with the following guidelines:
* Water-based equipment (e.g., a crane or winch mounted on a small, shallow draft barge or other
vessel) should be used for removing material from the stream. A small crawler tractor with winch
or similar equipment may be used to remove debris from the channel to selected disposal points.
* When stream conditions are inadequate for the use of water-based equipment, the smallest feasible
equipment with tracking systems that minimize ground disturbance should be specified for use.
Larger equipment may be employed from non-wooded areas where cables could be stretched down
to the channel to drag out materials to be removed.
* Access routes for equipment should be selected to minimize disturbance to existing floodplain
vegetation, particularly in the riparian zone. Equipment should be selected which will require little
or no tree removal in forested areas.
Page 8 of 40

Proposal Number: RFP #26-39-S&W Storm Debris Removal in Cumberland County
(5) Log Disposal practices. All logs or trees designated for removal from a stream or floodplain should be
removed or secured in such a manner as to preclude their reentry into the channel by floodwaters. Generally,
they should be transported well away from the channel and floodway and positioned parallel to the stream
channel so as to reduce flood flow impediment. When large numbers of logs are removed at one location
(e.g., logjams), their use of firewood may be most appropriate. Burying of removed material should not be
permitted. The trees must be pulled back 30 feet from the top of the streambank. The trees should be tied if
they are within the 100 Year Floodplain which the Cumberland SWCD will provide the map. It is the
contractors responsibility to work with property owners to ensure that logs are disposed of properly
b. Practices for stream channel clearing.
(1) Small debris accumulation. Small debris accumulations should be left undisturbed unless they are collected
around a log or blockage that should be removed. (Small debris accumulations will not constitute a
significant blockage to flows. Upon removal of logs and other blockages under these BMPs and the
following completion of the project, the changed water velocities will remove and disperse these small debris
accumulations so that no significant blockage of water flows will result.)
(2) Removal of sediment and soils. Major sediment plugs in the channel may be removed if they are presently
blocking the channel to a degree that results in ponding and dispersed overland flow through poorly defined
and non-existent channels and, in the opinion of appropriate experts, will not be removed by natural stream
or river forces after logs and other obstructions have been removed.
(3) Disposal of soil material. Conventional excavating equipment may be required for sediment blockages. This
equipment should be employed in a manner which will minimize environmental damages as follows:
* Access routes for equipment should be selected to minimize disturbance to existing floodplain
vegetation particularly in the riparian zone.
* Material disposal and necessary tree removal should be limited to one side of the original channel
at any given location.
* To maximum extent possible, excavating equipment should not be employed in the stream channel
bed.
* Where feasible, excavated materials should be removed from the floodplain. If the floodplain
disposal is the only feasible alternative, the spoil material should be placed on the highest practical
elevation and no material should be placed in any tributary or distributary channels which provide
for ingress and egress of waters to and from the floodplain.
* No continuous spoil pile should be created. It is suggested that no pile exceed 50 ft in length or
width and a gap of equal or greater length should be left between adjacent spoil piles.
* Spoil piles should be constructed as high as sediment properties allow.
* The placement of spoil material around the bases of mature trees should be avoided where possible.
* All disturbed areas should be reseeded or replanted with plant species which will stabilize soils and
benefit fish and wildlife. Revegetation should be in accordance with Cumberland SWCD
recommendations.
* All disturbed areas should be reseeded or replanted with plant species which will stabilize soils and
benefit fish and wildlife. Revegetation should be in accordance with Cumberland SWCD
recommendations.
