This document outlines a firm fixed price contract for pre-commercial thinning services on the Tongass National Forest. The contract will involve thinning approximately 1370 acres of young growth stands between 22 to 27 years of age across multiple line items. Work will consist of tree thinning, slash treatment, and other related tasks in compliance with contract terms, specifications, and provisions. Due to the steep and rugged terrain, only chain saws and hand tools may be used. Offerors will need to carefully examine onsite conditions such as logistics, access, weather, brush thickness, slope steepness, slash presence, and conifer regeneration density when preparing their proposals. The Contractor will be responsible for providing all required labor, equipment, housing, supplies, transportation, and other incidentals to complete the pre-commercial thinning except for any Government-furnished property. The solicitation was issued by the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service.
