- Objective: This Cooperative Agreement of Assistance is in association with Treesilience Louisiana, a federally- funded program to restore urban canopy and create more resilient community forests after destruction of the 2020— 2021 hurricane season. This agreement allows The Conservancy to contract out the following work on three areas within the City of Alexandria, referred to as Location A (Jackson@MacArthur), Location B Upper Third St) and Location C ( 9th Steet), as seen in Exbibit A and on Project Maps below. The work that the Conservancy shall accomplish with the use of contractors will include planting 129 native species trees spread between the three urban locations in order to add canopy in disadvantaged neighborhoods that experienced destruction from hurricanes and are in need of canopy restoration. The goals of this project are to enhance the aesthetics and provide shade along several inner corridors and major intersections with both vehicular and pedestrian traffic while increasing the countless benefits the trees will provide to the local community. Combining all three plantings will result in a healthier, more resilient urban canopy that will better protect the area from future storms while increasing air and water quality, sequestering carbon, reducing urban heat index and more. The Conservancy shall work with the City of Alexandria and contractor( s) selected by the Conservancy to implement the Project Plan and ensure the project objectives are achieved upon completion. As in- kind match, following completion of the contractor work, the City of Alexandria, at its sole cost, will work with its own contractor( s) to maintain the trees to establishment including necessary watering, fertilization, staking/ un- staking and mulching in accordance with the Maintenance Plan.

This contract is funded in part by the United States Forest Service under Award Number: 23- DG11083150- 009 and Contractor is therefore subject to the complying with the following: WHISTLEBLOWER NOTICE Whistleblowers perform an important service to USDA and the public when they come forward with what they reasonably believe to be evidence of wrongdoing. They should never be subject to reprisal for doing so. Federal law protects federal employees as well as personal services contractors and employees of Federal contractors, subcontractors, grantees, and subgrantees against reprisal for whistleblowing. USDA bears the responsibility to ensure that nothing in a non- disclosure agreement which a contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee requires their employees to sign should be interpreted as limiting their ability to provide information to the Office of Inspector General ( OIG). 41 U. S. C. § 4712 requires the head of each executive agency to ensure that its contractors inform their workers in writing of the rights and remedies under the statute. Accordingly, it is illegal for a personal services contractor or an employee of a Federal contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee to be discharged, demoted, or otherwise discriminated against for making a protected whistleblower 1149115v. 1 disclosure. In this context, these categories of individuals are whistleblowers who disclose information that the individual reasonably believes is evidence of one of the following: Gross mismanagement of a Federal contract or grant; A gross waste of Federal funds; An abuse of authority relating to a Federal contract or grant; A substantial and specific danger to public health or safety; or A violation of law, rule, or regulation related to a Federal contract( including the competition for or negotiation of a contract) or grant. To be protected under 41 U. S. C. § 4712, the disclosure must be made to one of the following: A Member of Congress, or a representative of a committee of Congress; The OIG; The Government Accountability Office ( GAO); A Federal employee responsible for contract or grant oversight or management at USDA; An otherwise authorized official at USDA or other law enforcement agency; A court or grand jury; or A management official or other employee of the contractor, subcontractor, or grantee who has the responsibility to investigate, discover, or address misconduct. Under 41 U. S. C. § 4712, personal services contractors as well as employees of contractors, subcontractors, grantees, or subgrantees may file a complaint with O1G, who will investigate the matter unless they determine that the complaint is frivolous, fails to allege a violation of the prohibition against whistleblower reprisal, or has been addressed in another proceeding. OIG' s investigation is then presented to the head of the executive agency who evaluates the facts of the investigation and can order the contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee to take remedial action, such as reinstatement or back pay. Federal Acquisition Regulation ( FAR) Subpart 3. 903, Whistleblower Protections for Contractor Employees, Policy, prohibits government contractors from retaliating against a contract worker for making a protected disclosure related to the contract. FAR Subpart 3. 909- 1 prohibits the Government from using funds for a contract with an entity that requires its employees or subcontractors to sign internal confidentiality statements prohibiting or restricting disclosures of fraud, waste, or abuse to designated persons. This prohibition does not contravene agreements pertaining to classified information. The regulation also requires contracting officers to insert FAR clause 52. 203- 17, Contractor Employee Whistleblower Rights and Requirement to Inform Employees of Whistleblower Rights, in all solicitations and contracts that exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold as defined in FAR Subpart
- This clause requires notification to contractor employees that they are subject to the whistleblower rights and remedies referenced in 41 U. S. C. § 4712. In order to make a complaint alleging any of the violations mentioned above, one should complete the OIG Hotline form located at: https:// www. usda. gov/ oig/ hotline. For additional information, they may also visit the WPC' s webpage at: https:// www. usda. gov/ oig/ wpc or they may directly contact the WPC at OIGWPC@oig. usda. gov.
