Attachment 3 fireline and teepee pile.pdf

The image depicts a post-wildfire landscape showing a conical-shaped wood pile (teepee pile) composed of burned and damaged tree logs, situated in a forest with charred, standing dead trees in the background. The scene appears to be in a mountainous area with brown grasses, rocks, and remaining vegetation, suggesting an aftermath of a forest fire such as the 2020 Creek Fire mentioned in the associated federal contract opportunity details.

The image is an attachment to a pre-solicitation notice for a U.S. Forest Service contract (Solicitation 127EAS25R0002) for hazard tree removal at the Bass Lake Ranger District in Sierra National Forest, California. The project is exclusively for 100% small businesses, with an estimated budget between $500,000 and $1,000,000. The work involves removing hazard trees within campgrounds, boat launches, trails, and vistas, with a focus on the 2020 Creek Fire footprint. The scope includes creating burn piles like the one pictured, protecting environmental resources, and preparing sites for future infrastructure reconstruction. The solicitation is expected to be posted on SAM.gov on February 14, 2025, with NAICS Code 113310 (Forestry Logging).
