Services Required

• prepare the designated materials source for production

• produce and stockpile the quantity ordered, and

• reclaim the materials source when production has been completed.

Performance Standards

Prior to entering National Forest lands, all equipment is cleaned to minimize the potential spread of non-native invasive plant species.

Prudent actions, such as washing or using compressed air, are taken to clean equipment, prior to moving from one project area to another within the National Forest, to ensure that these species are not spread.

Equipment is made available for inspection before it is used on National Forest System lands.

Equipment that is not cleaned prior to entering National Forest lands is unacceptable, as is equipment that is in poor working condition, leaking fluids, or unsafe for operation.
