(vi) Description of Requirement (including a list of any attachments)

The desired outcome of this project is to address travel management issues in important wildlife habitat by reducing open road densities. Habitat quality is expected to improve by increasing refuge characteristics and habitat connectivity.

This solicitation is to solicit quotes from qualified vendors for the decommissioning and closure of roads on the Deschutes National Forest, Bend-Fort Rock Ranger District.

The work consists of road obliteration and entry management treatments. For all activities, the contractor should include all labor, materials and supplies needed to perform work as described unless otherwise noted.

The project work is located on the Deschutes National Forest, within approximately 10-20 miles of Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon. See MAP 001 & MAP 002.

To protect cultural resources, the contractor will be provided an inadvertent discovery plan prior to implementation. In the event that unknown cultural materials are found during implementation, work shall stop immediately and contractor shall notify DNF. Should human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects or objects of cultural patrimony be encountered, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3001 et seq. [Nov. 16, 1990 as amended January 25, 2024] and its regulations (43 CFR §10) would apply. Any person who knows or has reason to know of a discovery of human remains or cultural items on Federal or Tribal lands must immediately report the discovery in person or by telephone to the appropriate official and shall follow up with written confirmation of the discovery. Work shall be suspended within a 100-ft buffer of the discovery and a reasonable effort taken to secure and protect the human remains or cultural items under the direction of heritage staff. No photographs shall be taken.

Item 1: Road Travelway Obliteration

Activities shall include subsoiling for decompaction and surface cover, as outlined below. These activities shall occur on the entirety of the road prism identified in TABLE 001, MAP 001 & MAP 002, or as modified by the Forest Service and the Contracting Officer or their delegated representative. Road locations will be flagged on the ground.

Subsoiling for Decompaction: Subsoiling shall occur to a minimum depth of 18 inches (maximum 24 inches), except where the Forest Service agrees to lesser depths. Soil shall be decompacted to the full depth, while preventing mixing or plowing.

Surface disturbance of organics and vegetation, where present, shall be minimized. Once treated, the decompacted soil shall be slightly lifted and well-fractured rather than plowed, mixed, or displaced. Treated areas shall span the entire length of the road and the total width of the compacted ground surface. Subsurface rocks shall not be pulled to the surface and large supportive roots shall also not be severed. Ground that cannot be effectively treated due to subsurface rock shall be scarified to the extent possible – typically with the surface roughened and broken to a depth of 4-6 inches. The distance between subsoiler shank passes shall typically not exceed 24 inches. Subsoiling shall not occur when the ground is frozen. Subsoiling shall not occur when roads are wet - there shall not be standing water on the road surface and free water shall be completely drained from the soil profile.

Surface Cover: Available roadside material (such as downed wood, slash and root wads) shall be placed on the treated areas in conjunction with subsoiling to achieve a target effective ground cover of at least 50% by area. Where adequate material is not available to achieve 50% cover, at least one piece of roadside material per 20 linear feet of travelway distance shall be expected. The roadside material shall include standing green trees under 7 inches DBH within 25 feet of the roads edge to achieve the desired surface coverage should other identified material not be available. Subsoiling and material placement shall be completed in one pass or in a way that would prevent compacting or displacing the treated area. Reference photos of subsoiling & slashing results are shown below (REFERENCE 1-3). Small avoidance areas (Areas to Protect, ATPs) may be flagged on the ground where no ground disturbing actions will be allowed. Items with ATPs are notes in TABLE 001. The placement of surface debris and boulders shall be allowed in ATPs provided that no ground disturbance occurs in the movement or placement of material. Within ATPs, heavy machinery may be used but it must remain on the existing roadbed at all times.

REFERENCE 1: Subsoil treatment result showing slightly lifted and well-fractured soil, rather than plowed, mixed, or displaced.

REFERENCE 2: Available roadside material such as downed wood, slash and root wads, shall be placed on the treated areas in conjunction with subsoiling

REFERENCE 3: Example of equipment used for subsoiling & slashing in one pass.

Item 2: Entry Management Treatment (Full Barrier Construction)

Activity shall occur on all roads identified in TABLE 001, MAP 001 and MAP 002. Locations will be flagged on the ground. Barrier construction shall extend beyond the road width if open conditions provide access around a road-width barrier. Barriers shall not be passable by any 4WD passenger vehicle or ATV and shall be discouraging to dirtbike and mountain bike use. Barriers shall be constructed from boulders (minimum size of 2.5 feet in diameter in at least two dimensions) placed a maximum of 2 feet apart and partially buried and backfilled (minimum quarter depth) to discourage easy removal. To mimic a natural appearance, boulders shall not be placed in an even, symmetrical pattern and may be placed in a scatted pattern down the entry portion of a closed route (within approx. 100 feet). Approximately 8 to 12 boulders are needed at each barrier. Boulders shall be procured and hauled by the contractor unless they are available on site and their use has been coordinated with the Forest Service and the Contracting Officer or their delegated representative.

Deep mixing of soil to roughen the surface to an unpassable condition beyond the limitations of the subsoiling treatment (Item 1) for sight distance (generally 12 feet by 500 feet) shall occur on all routes identified for barrier construction. In addition, on-site material such as downed wood, root wads and standing trees under 7” DBH that are within 25 feet of the roads edge shall be layered over the deep mixing treatment, in quantities that match the surrounding/untreated conditions.

Deep mixing shall not be trafficked after treatment. Deep mixing shall not occur when the ground is frozen. Deep mixing shall not occur when roads are wet - there shall not be standing water on the road surface and free water shall be completely drained from the soil profile.

Map locations 14, 20, and 21 (See MAP 001) may already have boulders on site. The contractor shall be expected to procure, haul and place additional boulder material (8-12 boulders) to supplement these closures as described above.

Item 3: Entry Management Treatment (Boulder Placement Only)

Activity shall occur on all roads identified in TABLE 001, MAP 001 and MAP 002. Locations will be flagged on the ground. Barrier construction shall extend beyond the road width if open conditions provide access around a road-width barrier. Barriers shall not be passable by any 4WD passenger vehicle or ATV and shhall be discouraging to dirtbike and mountain bike use. Barriers shall be constructed from boulders (minimum size of 2.5 feet in diameter in at least two dimensions) placed a maximum of 2 feet apart and partially buried and backfilled (minimum quarter depth) to discourage easy removal. To mimic a natural appearance, boulders will not be placed in an even, symmetrical pattern and may be placed in a scatted pattern down the entry portion of a closed route (within approx. 100 feet). Approximately 8 to 12 boulders are needed at each barrier. Boulders will be procured and hauled by the contractor unless they are available on site and their use has been coordinated with the Forest Service and the Contracting Officer or their delegated representative.

Map locations 24 (See MAP 001) may already have boulders on site. The contractor will be expected to procure, haul and place additional boulder material (8-12 boulders) to supplement this closure as described above.
