Unit Notes

Quarry 100- Large landing/opening in middle of unit.

Quarry 102- Steep slopes and ridges in unit. Trees are smaller on the ridges and larger in the draws. Some BD. OG unit on S side of unit with large snags and DW.

Quarry 108- The N quarter of unit is like Rotor 109. Snags and DW present. Rest of unit has large trees, few snags, and a little DW. Access down -130 spur past closure and either go thru Rotor 109 or follow -130 down past stream. Take old skid trail near stream into unit.

Quarry 112- Small unit below the 4620 road. Larger trees. The -150 spur has a breached berm and is currently passable but is scheduled for closing this summer.

Quarry 114- There are some old topped trees from Sand unit #4 in the unit. This unit is next to Rotor 115. The average diameter is quite large here. There are some very old, very large pieces of DW in the unit.

Quarry 116- Adjacent to Slip unit 1. -170 and -175 spurs are closed. Stay 150’ off 4620.

Quarry 118- Much of unit is within 150’ of the -180 spur, which is open. The SE part of unit east of -180 road is too narrow along the road for trees to be treated there. Some OG trees in the unit, don’t treat those.

Quarry 120- Take out a lot of unit for 150’ buffer along 4620.

Quarry 121- West side of 4620 has some OG in and around unit. Not that many good trees there and most of this part of the unit is too close to 4620. Don’t treat trees on W side of road.

The finger pointing east is where most of the trees will be treated.

Quarry 122- Plenty of big trees in here. There are a couple ridges running through the E lobe.

There is also about 5 acres of no-cut riparian area (122A and B).

Quarry 122 A and B- (see map pg. 5) Two no-cut drainages within unit 122. Treat trees within the no-cut areas. Do not treat trees within 25’ of any wet areas.

Quarry 124- No road buffers. Put trees in lower lobes.

Quarry 124 A- (see map pg. 5) Mostly hardwoods, don’t top or girdle trees here.

Quarry 124 B- (see map pg. 5) No-cut drainage within unit 124. Treat trees within the no-cut areas. Do not treat trees within 25’ of any wet areas or on any cut banks.

Rod 182- Don’t treat trees south of 4620; too close to road. Some OG snags in stand around this part of the unit. Don’t treat logging damaged trees. Trees are smaller in skyline portion. The

AG-046W-S-17-0042 4 of 43 unit goes over the ridge north of the road. There are some large NF back there. Don’t treat any of those over 25”.

Rotor 143- Back side of Reel 142, waypoint 073. Not much down wood or snags in the unit.

Could be some windthrow in the future.

Rotor 143R- Riparian area between units 143 and 145, about 2 acres. There is a stream running thru a 2nd growth plantation. There are no snags and only some small, old logs across the stream.

There is a need for some structure.

Rotor 191- Unit is in two parts, 191N and 191S. The 2 acres west of the 4620 road are too close to the road to treat trees there. There is cedar in this unit.

191S doesn’t have as many big trees. There are a couple small snags and some BD. Pretty open stand, no need for topped trees here. The -190 spur is closed.

Rotor 195- This unit is in 4 parts. Treat trees in the north portion and the east portion. The west part has too few trees and they are smaller diameter. There is a 1 acre part that wasn’t surveyed.

Rotor 197- Access still blocked by snow. Numbers here may be adjusted after survey.

AG-046W-S-17-0042 6 of 43 area ranges from flat ground to steep areas with logging slash and underbrush. Road access to some of the units may be limited requiring some lengthy walks.

The boundaries of these units were designated with blue timber harvest signs, orange tree tags and orange paint. Some of the tags have faded or been removed from the trees but the boundaries of the units are still readily apparent and the FS has put fresh blue signs with unit numbers on the roads bordering the designated units.

3. CONTRACTOR’S OBLIGATIONS

Contractor shall furnish equipment, materials, labor, supervision, transportation, and all supplies not provided by the Forest Service, which are required to complete the project. The Forest Service shall provide unit maps and blank tree registers. The Contractor will fill out tree registers and map girdled trees on unit maps prior to final inspection. The Contractor shall provide at least the following supplies to complete the contract:

A. Flourescent green waterproof paint B. Three-inch aluminum siding nails C. 4 “ by 4 “ Aluminum signs

The Contractor shall be responsible for insuring that operations will not cause harm or injury to employees (Contractor or Government), or other users of the area. The Contractor shall also be responsible for insuring that operations don’t cause any environmental or resource damage to the work area.

Contractor will be expected to treat trees throughout the units, including the parts of the unit that are the most difficult to access. This may affect production rates. Only by personal inspection can the Contractor determine the conditions to be encountered. Rotor TS units 135, 137, and 143 are behind a locked gate which will be opened on July 1. If the Contractor wants to inspect these units prior to that date, contact the FS to make arrangements.

4. COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK

The Contractor shall be required to (a) commence work under this contract after a pre-work meeting agreed upon by the Contractor and Forest Service, (b) prosecute the work diligently, and (c) complete the entire work ready for use. Completion of the work shall include final cleanup of the premises. All work will start on an agreed-upon effective date and be completed by September 30, 2017.

Should windthrown or broken tree tops occur prior to the start of this contract in the project area, the Government reserves the right to make necessary adjustments to the number of snags created.

5. STANDARD GUIDELINES FOR CHOOSING TREES TO GIRDLE AND FOR GIRDLING

TREES

A. All live trees to be girdled will be selected by the Contractor. Contractor shall select only trees with live tops that appear generally healthy. Do not select residual old growth trees, forked trees, trees with dead tops, diseased or dying trees (trees estimated to be dead within five years), or trees currently showing wildlife use (i.e., trees with woodpecker holes).

B. Selected trees should be evenly distributed throughout the units with the following exception. In units with ten or more trees to girdle, three out of every ten girdled trees (30%) will be “clumped”, or girdled in close proximity to each other (10’ to 100’) to create a clump of girdled trees. Don’t girdle a tree within 5 feet of a standing, live tree.

AG-046W-S-17-0042 7 of 43

C. Only select tree species that are noted as target species in the table. Do not girdle minor tree species like cedar or pine, or any other species that is uncommon in the unit.

D. There may be trees scattered through the units that are reserved for wildlife or genetic tree purposes, or trees that have been previously topped or girdled. These trees will already have paint and/or signs to identify them. DO NOT select these trees for girdling.

E. Selected trees shall be at least 150 feet from a Forest Service system road, where possible. In units along system roads girdle trees as far as is feasible from roads. Temporary roads and/or skid roads are not system roads.

F. Trees for girdling should be representative of the largest of the common DBH’s of the stand.

A DBH range for each unit is provided, based on post-harvest surveys. The largest average size class may vary within a unit.

G. The girdling will be done by removing bark and cambium from trees with a power saw, hand saw, and/or chopping tool (axe or pulaski) at approximately breast height. All girdled trees shall expose a minimum of three inches of wood completely around the trunk of the tree (see photo).

Power saws can be used for girdling, however, Contractor must follow all applicable rules and regulations concerning Industrial Fire Precaution Levels. The Contractor shall take all reasonable and practical action to prevent and suppress fires in the project area.

H. Each girdled tree, in all units, shall be marked by the Contractor with flourescent green waterproof spray paint. The mark on each girdled tree shall be a solid green band all around the trunk of the tree at approximately breast height (but not on the exposed wood), visible from all sides.

I. Each girdled tree will be numbered within each unit. The Contractor will fill out Tree Registers and map girdled trees on unit maps prior to final inspection.

J. The contractor will provide the Forest Service with the GPS coordinates of each girdled tree, using a projection of NAD 83. The method of providing this information to the Forest Service will be determined at the pre-work meeting.

K. Each girdled tree will be tagged with an aluminum sign on the side that is most visible to inspectors. This sign will be attached by at least two 3-inch aluminum siding nails nailed into each sign. Each aluminum sign will have written on it:

Project name and unit number Tree number Date of girdling

Example- Quarry 118 Tree #9 8/10/17

L. Do not select/girdle yellow marked trees.

6. INSPECTION

The Forest Service will make periodic inspections to verify that the Contractor is meeting contract specifications. Inspections shall be performed in a manner that will not unduly delay

AG-046W-S-17-0042 8 of 43 work. The minimum standards for acceptable inspection results will be that 90% of the inspected girdled trees meet the standards described above. This includes successful spacing and distribution of the girdled trees throughout the units. Payment less damages will be based on the following methods.

Quality at fully acceptable performance- meets or exceeds 90 percent. Whenever the quality of work meets or exceeds 90 percent, based on the results of the Contractor’s quality control inspection and the Government inspection, the work will be considered acceptable. Full credit will be made based on the bid per unit price for the subitem.

Quality performance level at less than 90 percent. Whenever the quality of work is below 90 percent based on the results of the Contractor’s quality control inspection and the Government inspection, the work is unacceptable and the value of services provided is significantly reduced. Therefore, a deduction will be made for unacceptable performance. For each percentage point that performance quality falls below 90 percent, a 2-percent deduction in unit price will be made.

Example: With a snag creation quality of 85 percent, the deduction would be: 2% x 5 percentage points below 90% = 10%, resulting in the Contractor receiving credit for 90 percent of the bid per unit price.

Quality performance level at less than 70 percent.

No credit will be given where quality of work is below 70 percent.

Tree Topping

*Due to natural variation in stand sizes, there may be instances where topping would need to occur above or below this range. Trees chosen for snag creation should be representative of the most common DBH’s of the stand.

**If no Operating Season is shown, there is no restriction on the unit. Operating season restrictions apply to mechanized operations and the use of power tools. If hand tools are used there are no seasonal restrictions.

1. DESCRIPTION OF WORK

This Contract requires services for removing the tops from trees with a power saw at various locations on the Clackamas River Ranger Districts of the Mt. Hood National Forest in Clackamas County, Oregon. This topping is not meant to kill the tree but to create a wildlife snag.

2. PROJECT LOCATION

The locations of the worksites are shown on the Contract Area Maps. Trees to be topped are in partially harvested plantations, in some small, adjacent riparian areas, or in small un-harvested no-cut areas. This project work will be done within the boundaries of the Quarry, Rotor, and Rod Timber Sales. The work area ranges from flat ground to steep areas with logging slash and underbrush. Road access to some of the units may be limited requiring some lengthy walks.

The boundaries of these units were designated with blue timber harvest signs, orange tree tags and orange paint. Some of the tags have faded or been removed from the trees but the boundaries of the units are still readily apparent and the FS has put fresh blue signs with unit numbers on the roads bordering the designated units.

The Contractor shall be responsible for insuring that operations will not cause harm or injury to employees (Contractor or Government), or other users of the area. The Contractor shall also be responsible for insuring that operations don’t cause any environmental or resource damage to the work area.

Contractor will be expected to treat trees throughout the units, including the parts of the unit that are the most difficult to access. This may affect production rates. Only by personal inspection can the Contractor determine the conditions to be encountered. Rotor TS units 135, 137, and 143 are behind a locked gate which will be opened on July 1. If the Contractor wants to inspect these units prior to that date, contact the FS to make arrangements.

4. COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK

The Contractor shall be required to (a) commence work under this contract after a pre-work meeting agreed upon by the Contractor and Forest Service, (b) prosecute the work diligently, and (c) complete the entire work ready for use. Completion of the work shall include final cleanup of the premises.

All work will start on an agreed-upon effective date and be completed by September 30, 2017.

Should windthrown or broken tree tops occur prior to the start of this contract in the project area, the Government reserves the right to make necessary adjustments to the number of snags created.

5. STANDARD GUIDELINES FOR CHOOSING TREES TO TOP AND FOR TOPPING TREES

A. All live trees to be topped will be selected by the Contractor. Contractor shall select only trees

AG-046W-S-17-0042 11 of 43 with live tops that appear generally healthy. Do not select residual old growth trees, forked trees, trees with dead tops, diseased or dying trees (trees estimated to be dead within five years), or trees currently showing wildlife use (i.e., trees with woodpecker holes).

B. Selected trees should be evenly distributed throughout the units with the following exception. In units with ten or more trees to top three out of every ten topped trees (30%) will be “clumped”, or topped in close proximity to each other (10’ to 100’) to create a clump of topped trees.

C. Only select tree species that are noted as target species in unit table above. Do not top minor tree species like cedar or pine, or any other species that is uncommon in the unit.

D. Trees for topping should be representative of the largest of the common DBH’s of the stand.

A DBH range for each unit is provided, based on post-harvest surveys. The largest average size class may vary within a unit.

E. There may be trees scattered through the units that are reserved for wildlife or genetic tree purposes, or that have been previously girdled or topped. These trees will already have paint and/or signs to identify them. DO NOT select these trees for topping.

F. Selected trees shall be at least 150’ from a Forest Service open system road, where possible.

In units along system roads top trees as far as is feasible from roads. Temporary roads and/or skid roads are not system roads.

G. Topping must occur above at least the lowest two live branch whorls and should occur below at least the seventh lowest live branch whorl. A whorl is defined as consisting of at least two live, green branches that are in a circular arrangement around the stem of the tree. Do not count small individual branches that are not representative of the typical branch diameter within the stand.

Trees will be topped at a minimum height of 50 feet.

H. Once tree is topped, Contractor shall make several saw cuts across the cut top of the tree, two cuts per inch of diameter. Cuts should be 2-3 inches deep. This is to simulate a broken top.

I. Each topped tree, in all units, shall be marked by the Contractor with green waterproof spray paint. The mark on each topped tree shall be a solid green band all around the trunk of the tree at approximately breast height, visible from all sides. In addition, each topped tree will be tagged with an aluminum sign on the side that is most visible to inspectors. This sign will be attached by at least two 3-inch aluminum siding nails nailed into each sign. Each aluminum sign will have written on it:

Project name and unit number Tree number Date of topping

Example- Quarry 114 Tree #9 9/10/17

J. Each topped tree will be numbered within each unit. The Contractor will fill out Tree Registers and map topped trees on unit maps prior to final inspection.

AG-046W-S-17-0042 12 of 43

A. The contractor will provide the Forest Service with the GPS coordinates of each girdled tree, using a projection of NAD 83. The method of providing this information to the Forest Service will be determined at the pre-work meeting.

K. Do not select/top yellow marked trees.

6. INSPECTION

The Forest Service will make periodic inspections to verify that the Contractor is meeting contract specifications. Inspections shall be performed in a manner that will not unduly delay work. The minimum standards for acceptable inspection results will be that 90% of the inspected cut trees meet the standards described above. This includes successful spacing and distribution of the cut trees throughout the units. Payment less damages will be based on the following methods.

Quality at fully acceptable performance- meets or exceeds 90 percent. Whenever the quality of work meets or exceeds 90 percent, based on the results of the Contractor’s quality control inspection and the Government inspection, the work will be considered acceptable. Full credit will be made based on the bid per unit price for the subitem.

Quality performance level at less than 90 percent. Whenever the quality of work is below 90 percent based on the results of the Contractor’s quality control inspection and the Government inspection, the work is unacceptable and the value of services provided is significantly reduced. Therefore, a deduction will be made for unacceptable performance. For each percentage point that performance quality falls below 90 percent, a 2-percent deduction in unit price will be made.

Example: With a snag creation quality of 85 percent, the deduction would be: 2% x 5 percentage points below 90% = 10%, resulting in the Contractor receiving credit for 90 percent of the bid per unit price.

Quality performance level at less than 70 percent.

No credit will be given where quality of work is below 70 percent.

Tree Top Girdling

*Due to natural variation in stand sizes, there may be instances where topping would need to occur above or below this range. Trees chosen for snag creation should be representative of the most common DBH’s of the stand.

**If no Operating Season is shown, there is no restriction on the unit. Operating season restrictions apply to mechanized operations and the use of power tools. If hand tools are used there are no seasonal restrictions.

***Target species- DF (Douglas-fir) WH (western hemlock) NF (noble fir)

1. DESCRIPTION OF WORK

This Contract requires services for girdling the tops of trees at various locations on the Clackamas River Ranger District of the Mt. Hood National Forest in Clackamas County, Oregon. This top girdling is meant to create a wildlife snag.

2. PROJECT LOCATION

The locations of the worksites are shown on the Contract Area Maps. Trees to be top girdled are in partially harvested plantations of the Quarry Timber Sale. This project work will be done within the boundaries of the timber sale units and in some small, adjacent riparian areas.

The work area ranges from flat ground to steep areas with logging slash and underbrush.

Road access to some of the units may be limited requiring some lengthy walks.

The boundaries of these units were designated with blue timber harvest signs, orange tree tags and orange paint. Some of the tags have faded or been removed from the trees but the boundaries of the units are still readily apparent and the FS has put fresh blue signs with unit numbers on the roads bordering the designated units.

Contractor will be expected to treat trees throughout the units, including the parts of the unit that are the most difficult to access. This may affect production rates. Only by personal inspection can the Contractor determine the conditions to be encountered.

4. COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK

The Contractor shall be required to (a) commence work under this contract after a pre-work meeting agreed upon by the Contractor and Forest Service, (b) prosecute the work diligently, and (c) complete the entire work ready for use. Completion of the work shall include final cleanup of the premises. All work will start on an agreed-upon effective date and be completed by September 30, 2017.

Should windthrown or broken tree tops occur prior to the start of this contract in the project area, the Government reserves the right to make necessary adjustments to the number of snags created.

5. STANDARD GUIDELINES FOR CHOOSING TREES TO TOP GIRDLE AND FOR

TOP GIRDLING TREES

A. All live trees to be treated will be selected by the Contractor. Contractor shall select only trees with live tops that appear generally healthy. Do not select residual old growth

AG-046W-S-17-0042 15 of 43 trees or trees currently showing wildlife use (i.e., trees with woodpecker holes). Do not select snags or snag-recruitment trees (e.g., trees that are declining in health such as broken- and cut-off tops, forked tops, spiked tops, trees damaged by logging operations, or trees with disease-infested or very unhealthy-looking crowns). Instead choose healthy-looking trees to treat.

B. When choosing between similar trees, select the tree with the least dominant crown to top.

C. Selected trees should be evenly distributed throughout the units with the following exception. In units with ten or more trees to top girdle, three out of every ten top girdled trees (30%) will be “clumped”, or treated in close proximity to each other (10’ to 100’) to create a clump of top girdled trees. Clumps are limited to a total of 3 trees of any type of treatment (falling, girdling, top girdling, or topping).

D. Don’t top girdle a tree standing within 5 feet of another standing, live tree.

E. Only select tree species that are noted as target species in unit table above. Do not top girdle minor tree species like cedar or pine, or any other species that is uncommon in the unit.

F. Trees for top girdling should be representative of the largest of the common DBH’s of the stand. A DBH range for each unit is provided, based on post-harvest surveys. The largest average size class may vary within a unit.

G. There may be trees scattered through the units that are reserved for wildlife or genetic tree purposes, or that have been previously girdled or topped. These trees will already have paint and/or signs to identify them. DO NOT select these trees for treatment.

H. Selected trees shall be at least 150’ from a Forest Service system road. In units along system roads top girdle trees as far as is feasible from roads. Temporary roads and/or skid roads are not system roads.

I. Girdle the trees at a height of 50-70’ or a top diameter of 10”, whichever occurs first. All live branches below the girdle height can be removed.

J. The girdling will be done by removing the bark and cambium from the trees with a power saw, hand saw, and/or chopping tool (axe or pulaski). All girdled trees shall expose a minimum of four inches of wood completely around the trunk of the tree. Power saws can be used for girdling, however, Contractor must follow all applicable rules and regulations concerning Industrial Fire Precaution Levels. The Contractor shall take all reasonable and practical action to prevent and suppress fires in the project area.

K. Each top girdled tree, in all units, shall be marked by the Contractor with fluorescent green waterproof tree marking spray paint. The mark on each top girdled tree shall be a solid green band all around the trunk of the tree at approximately breast height, visible from all sides. In addition, each top girdled tree will be tagged with an aluminum sign on the side that is most visible to inspectors. This sign will be attached by at least two 3-inch aluminum siding nails nailed into each sign. Each aluminum sign will have written on it:

AG-046W-S-17-0042 16 of 43

Project name and unit number Tree number Date of top girdling

Example- Quarry 116 Tree #9 7/10/17

L. Each top girdled tree will be numbered within each unit. The Contractor will fill out Tree Registers (see attached Tree Register) and map top girdled trees on unit maps prior to final inspection.

M. The contractor will provide the Forest Service with the GPS coordinates of each girdled tree, using a projection of NAD 83. The method of providing this information to the Forest Service will be determined at the pre-work meeting.

N. Do not select/girdle yellow marked trees.

6. INSPECTION

The Forest Service will make periodic inspections to verify that the Contractor is meeting contract specifications. Inspections shall be performed in a manner that will not unduly delay work. The minimum standards for acceptable inspection results will be that 90% of the inspected treated trees meet the standards described above. This includes successful spacing and distribution of the treated trees throughout the units. Payment less damages will be based on the following methods.

Quality at fully acceptable performance- meets or exceeds 90 percent.

Whenever the quality of work meets or exceeds 90 percent, based on the results of the Contractor’s quality control inspection and the Government inspection, the work will be considered acceptable. Full credit will be made based on the bid per unit price for the subitem.

Quality performance level at less than 90 percent. Whenever the quality of work is below 90 percent based on the results of the Contractor’s quality control inspection and the Government inspection, the work is unacceptable and the value of services provided is significantly reduced. Therefore, a deduction will be made for unacceptable performance. For each percentage point that performance quality falls below 90 percent, a 2-percent deduction in unit price will be made.

Example: With a snag creation quality of 85 percent, the deduction would be: 2% x 5 percentage points below 90% = 10%, resulting in the Contractor receiving credit for 90 percent of the bid per unit price.

Quality performance level at less than 70 percent.

No credit will be given where quality of work is below 70 percent.
