Introduction The Boise, Payette and Sawtooth National Forests (NFs), referred to as the Southwest Idaho Ecogroup (SWIE), will prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to disclose the environmental effects of proposed non-significant amendments to three SWIE Land and Resources Management Plans (Forest Plans). Amendments to the 2003 Forest Plans for the Boise, Payette and Sawtooth NFs will add and/or modify existing management direction, as needed, to implement a comprehensive, Forest Plan-level Wildlife Conservation Strategy (WCS). This WCS will identify both short- and long-term management strategies and priorities for maintaining and restoring habitats associated with terrestrial wildlife species. The proposed non-significant amendments will provide management direction and guidance that focuses on those habitats, and their associated species, identified in the WCS as being of greatest conservation concern during the current planning period (i.e., next 10 to 15 years). The SWIE is composed of an estimated 6.6 million acres of National Forest System lands in southwest Idaho. The SWIE administrative boundaries stretch west to the Oregon border, east to the Salmon-Challis NF, north to the Nez Perce NF, and south to Box Elder County, Utah. Because the WCS and related amendments have the potential to address a myriad of species and associated habitats, the amendment process has been divided between four phases, each with its individual EIS: This Solicitation Phase 1: Forested Biological Community (EIS and decision to be developed 2008 - 2009) Phase 2: Rangeland Biological Community (2009 - 2010) Later Solicitations Phase 3: Unique Combinations of Forested and Rangeland Communities (2010 - 2011) Phase 4: Riverine and Non-Riverine Riparian and Wetland Communities (2011 - 2012) This Statement of Work has been developed to reflect a base item, namely, preparation of a draft EIS for Phase 1. Appendix A reflects two options for potential future work: Option 1 covers preparation of a final EIS for Phase 1; Option 2 reflects development of a draft EIS for Phase 2. Terminology The writing/editing entity will be referred to in this document as Contractor. The SWIE will be referred to as Forest Service. Case Manager is the Forest Service principal contact listed on the cover sheet. Project Manager is the Contractor as identified following contract award. II. Documenting Environmental Analysis Under NEPA The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) has two requirements for compliance: A. Agencies must make informed decisions. - Informed means a candid and factual presentation of environmental impacts. Reasonable alternatives must be available and considered by the decision maker before making a commitment of resources. B. Agencies must make diligent efforts to involve the public in their NEPA procedures. The definition of - diligent varies by agency depending on the severity of impact and other factors. Each project requires an individual approach to involving the public. NEPA does not regulate agency choices. But it does demand a good faith, hard look at the potential environmental impacts and a full and honest disclosure of impacts to the public. Ultimately, completion of the NEPA process is the responsibility of the agency official making the decision. When the environmental analysis is documented through use of a Contractor, the process must comply not only with the NEPA and CEQ regulations (40 CFR parts 1500-1508), but also agency requirements. The primary source of NEPA policy and procedures for the Forest Service is Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 1909.15, Environmental Policy and Procedures Handbook, as amended in 2008. The Forest Service is ultimately and legally responsible for the accuracy of the environmental analysis and documentation, and is responsible for issuing a final decision that is defensible under the law. III. Scope of Work The Scope of Work involves writing, editing, formatting and illustrating a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Phase 1 of the WCS (Forested Biological Community), using technical reports, maps and information provided by the Forest Service. The Scope of Work also includes editing, formatting and illustrating identified technical reports (species reports). Contractor shall furnish all materials, supplies, tools, equipment, personnel, travel except those specified to be furnished by the Government, as noted below. IV. Summary of Tasks and Technical Specifications Contractor shall be responsible for completing the following tasks and meeting the technical specifications herein: A. Orientation: Attend at least one meeting at the Boise NF Supervisor's Office with one or more members of the Forest staff to gain familiarity with the project area, environmental conditions and proposed action. B. Work Plan and Timeline: Develop and manage a detailed project work plan, including specific tasks, when they will be completed and by whom. C. Coordination with Case Manager: Contractor will coordinate regularly with the Forest Service project Case Manager regarding the document development and reviews. Contractor will communicate at least weekly with the Case Manager to coordinate activities and provide updates of progress and significant developments, using phone, e-mail or visits. Contractor will communicate directly with the Case Manager to request specific information required from the Forest Service. Requests for information shall be made in writing, and shall include specifications regarding format and content and a not-to-exceed due date for receiving that information. The Case Manager will clarify information needs with Contractor as needed. Contractor must follow the Case Manager's advice regarding the Forest's preferred NEPA procedures and document specifications. D. Technical Reports: The Forest Service shall provide to the Contractor draft Technical Reports for editing and formatting. These Technical Reports will consist of a total of 44 individual reports (36 individual species reports and 8 family reports for the Boise and Payette National Forests). The purpose of these Technical Reports is to provide supporting data, information, and analysis for the EIS. As appropriate, contractor shall incorporate the important conclusions from the Technical Reports into the EIS, along with summary rationale for the conclusions. E. Organize and Develop the Draft EIS with cover letters, and distribute to Case Manager for Forest Service review. Edit the documents to incorporate reviewer's comments, and defer to the Case Manager's judgment if editing questions or conflicts should arise. The Case Manager will be the liaison between Contractor and the Responsible Official to ensure that expectations are being met. F. Prepare the EIS and Distribute for Notice and Comment Process: The completed draft EIS, public mailing, and publication of the Notice of Availability (NOA) in the Federal Register will initiate a formal comment period. The length of this formal comment period has yet to be determined, but will likely be either 45 or 90 days. Contractor shall send copies to a mailing list provided by the Forest Service (approximately 600-800 names). The EIS will also be provided to the Forest Service in an electronic .pdf format for placement on our external web site to be available electronically to the general public. The Forest Service will prepare and submit the NOA to the Federal Register. G. Duplication and Mail Services: Contractor is required to provide any duplication or publication services, except for those documents that must be published by the Government Printing Office (GPO). GPO publication requirements will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Contractor is responsible for copying, collating and mailing documents to the public. The Case Manager is responsible for getting the required signature of the Responsible Official. V. Materials Provided by the Forest Service The Forest Service shall provide the following materials, both in electronic and hard copy: A. Draft Technical Reports for editing and formatting B. Analysis materials needed to prepare the EIS, including specialist reports, a description of alternatives to be considered in detail and those eliminated from detailed study, a description of issues (including associated indicators) C. Maps, including vicinity maps and those needed to illustrate key points D. Envelopes and mailing labels. VI. Documentation A. Working documents produced by Contractor shall be submitted to the Forest Service in Microsoft Word format. To expedite Forest Service reviews, Contractor is encouraged to e-mail, or post to an external FTP site identified by the Forest Service, draft and final documents. - Track changes will be used to note stylistic and substantive edits. (Track changes will not be used to identify corrections to spelling and grammar.) B. The EIS and Technical Reports (the documents) must be written in a manner that facilitates public review and understanding. The EIS and Technical Reports will be professionally written and edited: - The documents will be accurate in spelling and punctuation, and free of typographical errors. - Sentences will be integrated as components within a paragraph, such that the order of the sentences is logical and anticipates readers questions and processing of information. - Paragraphs will be integrated as components within a section, such that the order of the paragraphs is logical and anticipates readers questions and processing of information. Paragraphs have effective transitions to guide the reader. - Each resource-specific effects discussion in Chapter III of the EIS will be presented such that the conclusion is well-supported and logical. In addition, the effects discussions within Chapter III will be internally consistent, such that the conclusions in one section do not contradict those in another section. The EIS shall be a concise public document. Rather than the document consisting entirely of long narratives, use bulleted or numbered statements where appropriate, and display quantitative data in tables or charts, where they may aid in public review and understanding. Use a simple and consistent outline format throughout the documents, with clear headings and sub-headings. Tables and figures will be formatted consistently within the documents, and the formatting will conform to relevant style guides. Tables and figures will be formatted such that they are legible in second- and third-generation copies. Avoid using agency or bureaucratic jargon or acronyms. Where a technical term is needed, include a brief, simple translation of the term within the context where it is used, to avoid the reader having to rely entirely on the glossary. Translate technical or jargon-filled language into plain, easy to understand language. Technical Reports will be organized and formatted in a consistent manner, using a Contractor-developed template. If supporting record documents contain repetitive or poorly organized effects analysis discussions, translate them in the EIS into clear, concise, well-organized statements. Ensure that the effects analysis in the EIS includes: - Rationale, professional judgments and references to scientific studies that support the conclusions and help shed light on the degree of uncertainty or reliability of effects predictions. - Explanations of the action or cause for each effect. - Descriptions of location, magnitude/intensity, and general duration of effects. - Direct, indirect and cumulative effects to the resources discussed. - Avoid repetition, focusing on differences in effects between alternatives, so readers may easily contrast and compare alternatives, based on the effects described. - Incorporation of scientific material by reference, by summarizing and citing appropriate literature. References will be included as an EIS chapter. C. The EIS must be site-specific to the areas of National Forest identified for analysis, action-specific (to the proposed activities) and effect-specific (resulting from the proposed activities). D. The description of the Affected Environment is required in an EIS. However, the Affected Environment can be combined with Environmental Consequences into one chapter, as a preface to the consequences described for each specific resource topic. E. The EIS format should closely follow this main-topic outline, unless changes are approved by the Case Manager: - Cover Sheet - Abstract - Table of Contents - Summary - Chapter I -- Purpose and Need for Action 1. Introduction (Location, Background and project history) 2. Forest Plan Direction and Other Requirements 3. Purpose of and Need for Action (Existing Situation, Desired Condition, Need for Action and Project Objectives) 4. Proposed Action 5. Decision to be Made 6. Public Involvement Summary 7. Significant Issues - Chapter II - Alternatives 8. Description of Alternatives Analyzed (including maps of alternatives) 9. Alternatives Considered and Eliminated from Further Study 10. Comparison of Alternatives in tabular and narrative form. Include comparisons with respect to the Purpose and Need, Forest Plan guidance, Significant Issues, and Key Environmental Effects (summarized from Chapter III). - Chapter III - Affected Environment and Environmental Effects Alternative Responses to the Issues Describe and display how each alternative addresses the significant issues.

Work Products Work products shall be addressed to the Forest Service Case Manager: Deliverables shall be paper copies, facsimiles, and/or electronic copies as specified. Electronic word processing documents shall be Microsoft Word. Final documents shall be delivered on a compact disk in Microsoft Word and .pdf formats. Where multiple copies are indicated, it will be understood these are to be paper copies. Elsewhere where copy media is unspecified, it will be the option of Contractor to provide the materials by either paper copy or electronic copy. The Forest Service will review all draft materials. Generally, one review and correction cycle will be sufficient prior to printing final materials. However, based upon the amount or complexity of the Forest Service's revision comments, the Forest Service shall have the option of reviewing drafts until they are revised to the Forest Service's satisfaction. All documents shall be published to Forest Service standards. Contractor, under the direction and guidance of the Forest Service, shall be responsible for printing and distributing all documents, except for those that must be published by the GPO. GPO publication requirements will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Contractor shall provide all graphics, layout services and printing to established Forest Service standards. Foldout sheets and large maps shall be provided where applicable. Mailings shall be first class. A. Work Plan: Within 30 days of contract award, Contractor shall submit a work plan. The work plan shall be a comprehensive plan and schedule for completion of all aspects of the task order, following the schedule prepared in cooperation with the Forest Service. The work plan shall account for all the tasks within the scope of this task order, deliverables listed below, preparation time, and review time for each draft by the Forest Service. B. Technical Reports: Technical Reports provided by the Forest Service are to be edited and formatted in conformance with Forest Service standards and guidelines. Preliminary Technical Reports (two copies of each) shall be submitted prior to, or concurrent with, a preliminary draft EIS. C. Draft EIS (Final): Contractor shall provide a final draft EIS in camera-ready format. This format must facilitate web posting and browsing, as well as a format from which hard copies can be made. Hard copy record documents shall be single-side copies with no staples. Contractor shall prepare copies for mailing; quantity will be dependant on number of scoping respondents. Appendix A Potential Options for Future Work Option 1 - Preparing a Final EIS & Final Technical Reports - The decision to exercise this option will be made by April 1, 2009. Under Option 1, the Scope of Work involves writing, editing, formatting and illustrating a final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Phase 1 of the WCS, using technical reports, maps and information provided by the Forest Service. The Scope of Work also includes editing, formatting and illustrating final Technical Reports (species reports). Option 1 would be undertaken following the formal comment period on the draft EIS. Essentially, Option 1 reflects the revision of the draft documents into final form, reflecting both public comment and new information gained following publication of the draft documents. The basis for both items (i.e., the final EIS and Technical Reports) will be the draft EIS and Technical Reports described in the base item. All tasks, specifications, responsibility for materials, and work products described in sections IV, V and VI in the base item would apply to Option 1, with one addition: development of a chapter in the final EIS that displays public comments on the draft EIS and the Forest Service response to those comments. The Forest Service would provide public comments and responses for Contractor editing and formatting of this chapter, both in electronic and hard copy. In addition, the Forest Service will provide comments on the draft Technical Reports. Option 2 - Preparing a Draft EIS & Technical Reports - The decision to exercise this option will be made by April 1, 2010. Under Option 2, the Scope of Work involves writing, editing, formatting and illustrating a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Phase 2 of the WCS (Rangeland Biological Community), using technical reports, maps and information provided by the Forest Service. The Scope of Work also includes editing, formatting and illustrating identified Technical Reports (species reports). The number of Technical Reports is unknown at this time, although the total number is anticipated to be less than under the base item. All tasks, specifications, responsibility for materials, and work products described under the base item would apply to Option 2. In addition, Contractor would be strongly encouraged to model the format and style of Option 2 to mirror that of the base item, such that the two products are consistent, and readily-identifiable as integrated components of a larger effort (i.e., the WCS).
