proposed for treatment, and any plant surveys or field investigations necessary in support of the
program will be included in the AWP.
AA-6. Public Notification. All necessary and planned activities to keep the public and local
interests informed of program operations will be made part of the AWP. Such activities may
include, but are not limited to, newsletters, news releases, public meetings, and presentation of
APC program information. Specific responsibilities of the State or Government for public
notification are to be detailed. Designated program representatives will inform residents adjacent
to control areas and potential users of the areas of the nature of the control program and any
necessary use restrictions.
AA-7. Inspection. The Government shall have the right to inspect the work at any time during its
progress and to make final inspection upon completion thereof. Failure of the Government to
object within 20 days after final inspection shall constitute satisfactory performance of the
contract by the State.
AA-8. Plant and Equipment Rental Rates. If the State or its designated representatives furnish
the plant and equipment to perform that portion of the work coming under the State's
contribution, the initial purchase cost shall not be included as an integral part of the State's
contribution. Instead, an equitable rental charge for the plant and equipment (based on the initial
cost of the item, anticipated economic life, reasonable maintenance charges, and amortization
costs) will be negotiated. Rental charges will be made only on a daily/hourly use basis and will be
applicable only to those items approved for the work. Plant and equipment furnished by the State
may be increased or decreased to meet existing needs of the work by agreement of all parties
concerned.
AA-9. Safety. Safety requirements, as a minimum, will be in accordance with Corps of Engineers
Manual EM 385-1-1, revised October 1993, and all future revisions, entitled "Safety and Health
Requirements Manual."
AA-10. Reporting Requirements. Reporting requirements include the "Weekly Schedule of
Operations" and the "Daily Log of Operations." Weekly, a schedule identifying proposed
operations for the ensuing week will be submitted to the Contracting Officer for any work
conducted or contracted by the State or the Government. The schedule will list the proposed
sites of work for the work crew(s), method of control and target species. In addition, a daily log
of operations shall be submitted for each work crew. Information included in the log will describe
the treatment area, any chemicals or equipment used, the weather conditions, and any pertinent
observations. Also, daily time sheets and vehicle operation logs shall be kept for the use of
Government inspectors in certifying completion of the job.
