About this file

This file contains sample design specifications, data collection forms, inspection standards, and reference materials for the Haycamp Common Stand Exam Service Contract on the San Juan National Forest, Dolores Ranger District.

The contract requires contractors to perform comprehensive forest stand examinations following specified sampling methodologies. Data collection involves establishing sample plots using variable radius sampling (with Basal Area Factors of 10, 20, or 30) for large trees 5.0 inches DBH/DRC and larger, and fixed 1/100th acre plots for smaller trees. Contractors must complete multiple standardized forms including Setting Forms, Sample Design Forms, Plot Data Forms, Tree Data Forms, Vegetation Composition Forms, and Ground Surface Cover Forms, with all required fields legible and complete. The inspection standards establish accuracy thresholds for all collected data, with specific tolerance ranges for measurements such as diameter at breast height (±0.1 to ±0.5 inches depending on tree size), height (±1 foot for site trees, ±10% for general stock trees), elevation (±2 contour intervals), and aspect (±45 degrees). Pass/fail criteria require all form scores below 5.0 points and total scores below 10.0 points, with any single unacceptable field error causing block failure. Reference materials include acceptable site tree species (jack pine, ponderosa pine, aspen, bur oak, and others) and a comprehensive list of noxious and invasive species requiring documentation. The requirement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside with quotes due via email to sarah.cotton@usda.gov no later than November 27, 2026.

1. Using a XX* BAF, sample all LIVE standing trees, 5.0” DBH/DRC and larger. XX* BAF may be 10, 20, or 30.

2. Using a 1/100th acre plot, sample DBH of live trees between 0.01” and 4.9” DBH, DBH of live trees between 0.5’ and 4.49’ in height, and DRC of live trees between 0.01” and 4.9” DRC.

*Appropriate values shall be entered by the contractor to achieve an average of 5 large live trees per plot (range of 4-8 large live trees)
