Description of Work and Standards

The expected result of this project is to reduce fuel loading by mechanically piling; 1) slash created by pre-commercially thinned units, and 2) natural build -up of woody debris on the forest floor. The end result of activities performed under this contract would produce areas where a wildfire (should it occur) could be contained quickly, provide greater safety for firefighters, and produce less damage to natural resources and adjacent private land.

Material will be grapple piled to allow for future burning of that material. All units are scheduled to be precommercial thinned during spring and summer of 2018 and will be available for grapple piling as soon as the precommercial thinning is completed. Contractor will be notified of unit availability as soon as the units have been precommercial thinned. Precommercial Thinning will be completed no later than September 30, 2019.

Protect special features within units as identified within the Project Specific Information Table below. No off road travel through private lands that lie adjacent to units.
