About this file

This file contains detailed project maps prepared by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the LHSF FY24 Wildfire Restoration Tree Clearing project. The maps depict four distinct clearing units—Jones Creek Pond Unit, North Overlook Unit, Rice Farm North Unit, and Rice Farm South Unit—located within the Loess Hills State Forest in Monona County, Iowa. The project encompasses approximately 351 total acres of forest damaged by the April 13, 2023 wildfire and requires contractors to remove above-ground portions of severely damaged trees across multiple forest stands. The maps identify tree mortality levels (low, medium, and high) and stand types (deciduous and cedar) for each clearing area, with specific acreage allocations for each stand. Red-shaded areas on the maps indicate steep slopes where equipment travel will be restricted to minimize erosion and damage, while green lines show existing roads and trails designated for access and potential skidding paths. The maps were prepared by Jeff Seago, Area Forester, and note that Iowa DNR staff will coordinate with the selected contractor to establish additional equipment paths as necessary. The bid submission deadline is May 23, 2024, with inquiries directed to Philip Payton at philip.payton@dnr.iowa.gov.

The maps serve as the spatial reference for contractors to understand project scope and site conditions across all four units. No specific pricing information, contract term details, or set-asides are addressed in the map document itself. Contractors may bid on tree removal services, with awards made individually per task while allowing the possibility for a single contractor to win multiple task awards. All locations are subject to change pending project manager communication, though total acreage is expected to remain constant at approximately 351 acres. The project aims to restore forest management in accordance with the DNR's forest stewardship plan and enhance user safety by eliminating standing dead and dying trees resulting from wildfire damage.
