Government-furnished Supplies/Equipment: Onsite trees for transplanting and boulders from designated source. Grass seed will be furnished by the Government.

Work to be Completed: Offeror is to submit a proposed treatment. The proposal shall include a description of what types of restoration efforts would be done, the type/size/amount of equipment that would be used, staffing, materials, supplies, and a price for the proposed treatment.
