This solicitation is seeking quotes for hazard tree abatement services along roadsides in the Mendocino National Forest. The solicitation is set aside for total small businesses and seeks to mechanically cut and pile dead hazard trees identified during previous hazard tree projects along Deer Valley Road and Pine Mountain Road. The contract objectives are to remove hazardous trees along roadsides to provide safe access for the public, landowners, and emergency services, and to pile already fallen trees to aid future fuels reduction and fire suppression activities. Some of the roads also act as fuel breaks and strategic areas for fire suppression. The solicitation will reduce hazards and fuel accumulations along 321 acres of mandatory work and 64 acres of optional work. The soliciting agency is the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service.
