This document is a Solicitation for the Windy Helicopters Stewardship IRSC project on the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest in Idaho. The project aims to reduce the risk of insect/disease infestations and wildfire in the project area through commercial thinning and regeneration harvesting on 169 acres across 4 helicopter logging units. The contractor will be required to cut and remove designated timber, maintain haul roads, and control traffic. Helicopter yarding and removal of non-saw material may be awarded as optional work, and road reconstruction is also required. The contract period of performance is from award through October 31, 2027. A 20% bid bond and 100% payment/performance bonds on the construction work value are required. The government estimate for road reconstruction work is $250,000 to $500,000. No site visit is currently planned, and over-snow travel may be required for individual site visits.
