This federal contract opportunity solicitation requests mastication services for the Dakota Prairie Grasslands in North Dakota. The solicitation seeks a contractor to masticate at least 90% of juniper over one foot tall across 2,506 acres located northwest of Belfield, with the exception of juniper on north-facing slopes over 30% grade and areas identified as leave islands. Depending on equipment limitations, the contractor may need to cut material in some inaccessible areas by hand and cut juniper in drainages into two-foot pieces to prevent culvert clogging. Juniper within 10 feet of streams must be left standing. The period of performance is from September 1, 2022 through April 30, 2023. The solicitation was issued by the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service.
