About this file
This document provides details on a solicitation for a stewardship blanket purchase agreement for the Chewelah A to Z Stewardship Project located on the Colville National Forest. The Forest Service intends to make multiple awards for agreements of up to 15 years to remove existing fuel loading through commercial and non-commercial logging methods in order to reduce high intensity wildfire risk across thousands of acres. Work may include NEPA analysis, unit layout, cruising, road and trail maintenance, habitat improvement activities, prescribed fire support, vegetation removal to promote forest health and reduce fire hazards, wildlife and fish habitat restoration, and noxious weed control. The agency maintains decision-making authority and will select project alternatives, while awardees will perform ordered treatment activities. No payment will be provided for NEPA services or accrual of stewardship credits. The solicitation is designated as full and open competition with a pre-proposal conference scheduled for an unspecified date. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region is the responsible agency.
