Technical Approach and Removal of Woody Biomass (30 points maximum) Clause Samples

The "Technical Approach and Removal of Woody Biomass" clause outlines the criteria and expectations for how a contractor will plan and execute the removal of woody biomass from a project site. It typically requires bidders to describe their proposed methods, equipment, and processes for safely and efficiently clearing, handling, and disposing of woody materials such as branches, logs, and brush. The clause may also specify evaluation metrics, such as efficiency, environmental impact, and safety considerations, with a maximum point value assigned for scoring proposals. Its core function is to ensure that contractors present a clear, effective, and responsible plan for biomass removal, allowing evaluators to compare approaches and select the most suitable contractor for the project.
Technical Approach and Removal of Woody Biomass (30 points maximum). The Forest Service will use the following to evaluate your Technical Approach: A. Contractor’s organization, qualifications and skills of their key personnel and quality control plan will be evaluated giving higher scores to more experienced, qualified personnel. The organization, schedule, and staff will be evaluated based on a realistic accomplishment of the project (10 points). B. Types and amounts of equipment to be used, their applicability to thinning small diameter trees, and use of equipment that provides resource protection (e.g. minimizes the number of entries), and provides for the safety of workers. Ability to achieve the desired forest conditions and end results as described in Section C and the Appendices (10 points). C. Proposals that best meet the desired future conditions of the Forest Service by maximizing the treatment and removal of the biomass from the National Forest will receive higher scores (10 points).

  • Subprocessing The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the subprocessor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor's obligations under such agreement.

  • Power Factor Design Criteria (Reactive Power A wind generating plant shall maintain a power factor within the range of 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging, measured at the Point of Interconnection as defined in this LGIA, if the ISO’s System Reliability Impact Study shows that such a requirement is necessary to ensure safety or reliability. The power factor range standards can be met using, for example without limitation, power electronics designed to supply this level of reactive capability (taking into account any limitations due to voltage level, real power output, etc.) or fixed and switched capacitors if agreed to by the Connecting Transmission Owner for the Transmission District to which the wind generating plant will be interconnected, or a combination of the two. The Developer shall not disable power factor equipment while the wind plant is in operation. Wind plants shall also be able to provide sufficient dynamic voltage support in lieu of the power system stabilizer and automatic voltage regulation at the generator excitation system if the System Reliability Impact Study shows this to be required for system safety or reliability.
