The State of Illinois, through the Office of Resource Conservation, awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract to All American Land Management LLC (Vendor ID V00042563) in the amount of $14,945.00. The contract was awarded on June 10, 2026, with a completion date of September 30, 2026, and covers forestry grinding and vegetation management services at the Crawford County State Forest Wildlife Area.

All American Land Management LLC will provide forestry mowing and grinding services utilizing specialized equipment (skid steer, compact track loader, or hydraulic machine with rubber tires/tracks weighing 6 PSI or less) equipped with a hydraulic-driven mulching head capable of grinding woody vegetation up to 10 inches in diameter at breast height. The contract includes immediate post-cut stump treatment with a 5% aqueous glyphosate solution (minimum 50.2% active ingredient) applied by the contractor's crew, which must consist of at least two individuals: one equipment operator and one herbicide applicator. The scope requires processing all woody material to a consistent fine chip size with even dispersal across the work site, achieving an 85% stump mortality rate, with all work performed during the July through September period under frozen or dry ground conditions to minimize soil disturbance.
