ATCH 1 Boundary Line Painting Specs EN_LC_155 miles.pdf

Specifications

* The Forest Service will supply paint, nails, signs, and maps for this project.

* The Forest Service needs 155 miles of property boundary line painted, see attached maps for locations. Work shall include the following:

- Existing marked trees to include witness/corners and line trees will be re-painted with red paint.

- Scrape trees prior to painting, and Hack trees as per guidelines.

- Mark (scrape, paint, hack) any new landline trees in-between existing marked trees at approximately 100’ intervals.

- Sign every 200-300 feet with Forest Service provided sign “National Property Boundary”. These signs should also be placed before and after all stream/creek and road crossings. The nails will be left protruding at least 1” to provide for growth.

- The status of established witness/corner trees will be documented and information given to the Forest Service for updating corner card status. Existing trees will be refurbished, scrape/paint/hack.

- The witness/corner tree locations will be brushed out to provide easy visibility.

Brushing along the line will be necessary to only provide general walk through along the line.

- Put the paint on thick as some of the areas may not be re-marked for several years.

- Work to be completed no later than September 14, 2012.

- Paint USGS Marker Post, not over the emblem on top of the post.

- Corner trees full 4” band on the trees and blaze at ground, waist, and eye level.

- Victor Vazquez will be the U.S Forest Service field contact representative.
