About this file
This document contains the Offsite Garden Specifications for Site 1 of the USFS Dorena Genetic Resource Center. The specifications outline the parcel requirements, which include an approximate 0.25-acre (+/- 10%) flat site with well-drained soil, no history of contamination, and access to utilities. The space is required to support the restoration efforts of the Whitebark Pine in the Umpqua National Forest, which has recently been listed under the Endangered Species Act. The related federal contract opportunity is for a new land lease in the Cottage Grove area to meet these requirements. The lease will have a full term of 20 years and a firm term of 5 years. The offered space must meet government standards for fire safety, accessibility, seismic, and sustainability, but a fully serviced lease is not required. All expressions of interest must be received by 5 p.m. on March 18, 2024.

a. Approximately 0.25 acres (+/- 10%)
b. flat (<2% slope)
c. native surface
d. Located within the delineated area specified on the SAM.gov advertisement
2. Power availability – Standard 120V
a. Power use expected - ~ 50 watts for Irritrol (irrigation timer) and associated valve opening/closing.
3. Water – (for 500 plants (5-gallon pots) at 2 gallons per plant per irrigation)
a. Irrigation water available at minimum sustained 30 PSI.
i. Assume standard hose spicket.
ii. If pressure at site is too low, we could support well source with larger pump.
b. Can be flexible in time of day or night for irrigation.
c. Can adjust length of irrigation time within the following range:
i. 4 stations at 250 gallons/hour for 4 hours
ii. 8 stations at 125 gallons/hour for 8 hours
d. Seasonality
i. Spring (estimated mid-March through mid-May)
1. 2-3 days per week at 1000 gallons per day
2. (OR) 4-6 days per week at 500 gallons per day
ii. Summer (estimated mid-May through early Oct)
1. 3-4 days per week at 1000 gallons per day
2. (OR) 7 days per week at 500 gallons per day Project Proposal (USFS to purchase and install materials and conduct all related site work) The site would house 500 plants in 5-gallon pots. Pots would be placed on 4ft x 3.5ft pallets set in rows (180-200 pallets) on top of weed barrier. A shade structure would be constructed over the plants to reduce summer radiation. Shade structure would consist of 10 ft tall steel posts with support posts and guide cables (~29 holes) with concrete footings installed 20 ft apart. Steel cable would be stretched between posts holding up shade cloth over the pallets and plants. Fencing to be installed around shade structure to deter wildlife.
USFS staff would purchase materials and conduct all site development (weed barrier, pallets, plants, irrigation system, and shade structure). USFS staff would visit site to establish and monitor plants during irrigation season (2-3 times/week), in late summer for leaf harvest, and in fall to prune. Additional visits may be needed for upgrades and repairs.
