4. SCOPE OF CONTRACT

(a) The intent of the project is to mitigate wildfire risk and increase resilience to disturbances from insect and disease across the End of the World project area. The G-Z contracting tool will help increase the pace and scale of restoration beyond the forest’s current capacities. This contract is planned to implement the following work activities:

1. Timber Sale Preparation

a. Contractor will complete layout of harvest units. Units must be within project approved NEPA boundaries and avoid exclusion areas such as riparian areas, protected areas, private property, etc. Boundaries may be identified by paint, flagging, or be virtual unless they are adjacent to private property or pre-identified archaeological sites. Contractor will determine cutting specifications that may include marking, DxP, DxD, or a combination of methods to accomplish the Silvicultural prescriptions provided by the Forest Service.
