About this file
This document outlines performance requirements for a fuels reduction services contract opportunity with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region. The contract involves thinning and hand piling of fuels across various units in the Orient, Sherman, and Wedge areas totaling over 800 acres. Work will require cutting trees and brush to specified sizes, lopping and scattering slash, and hand piling fuels between 1-10 inches in diameter. Piles must meet minimum height and width, and be covered with waterproof paper. Additional requirements include low-stumping harvested trees, cutting logs to lengths under 10 feet, and implementing unit exclusions and boundaries as mapped. The solicitation number for this opportunity is 1205G120Q0003 with an estimated period of performance in 2020.

BOUNDARIES – All boundaries are marked with tags and orange and black striped flagging or are located along the edge of a timber sale boundary.
Stem densities vary across the project and within units. The quoter is advised to visit the work sites to determine average cut trees per acre prior to submitting a quote. The quoter is responsible for determining the amount of work.
Species abbreviations are as follows: PP = Ponderosa Pine, WL = Western Larch, DF = Douglas-fir, RC = Western Red Cedar, ES = Englemann Spruce, LP = Lodgepole Pine, AF = Sub-Alpine Fir, WH = Western Hemlock, GF = Grand Fir, WP = Western White Pine, PY= Pacific Yew, BC= Black Cottonwood, QA= Quaking Aspen and PB = Birch species
