Storrie Fire Canopy Study Contract Documents

CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

SCOPE OF THE CONTRACT

It is the scope of this contract to secure services for measuring, collecting, and analyzing soils, forest floor, roots, litter, woody debris, and wood samples from research plots located on the Lassen National

Forest. This is part of a process in conducting research designed to determine the effects of canopy cover on the development of the understory and the interactions of disturbance in ponderosa pine plantations and mixed-conifer and true fir stands. The contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, supplies (except those designated as Government-Furnished) and incidentals to perform all work described on the research plots specified.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK:

The tasks to be performed by the contractor include collecting and analyzing samples of soils, forest floor, roots, litter, and woody debris on 30 one acre research plots. Measurements are to be recorded on forms furnished by the Government. All measurements are in metric units.

SPECIFICATIONS AND PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

Specifications - The Government has designated the location of all research plots at the study sites (see attached maps). Each research plot is one acre in size. See the attached specifications for each type of collection/measurement to be performed and the lab procedure for analyzing these collected samples.

Locations to collect samples within a research plot will be in preselected locations shown on the plot map. These locations shall be approximately 2 meter X 2 meter squares in which the exact location to sample shall be randomized. Sample collecting/measurements of soils, forest floor, roots, and woody debris may start as soon as conditions allow up to October 15, 2014. After that date, the start of sample collecting will be at the discretion of the Government following discussions with the contractor. If conditions do not allow a fall start, collection shall start as soon as snow conditions allow, which is expected to be about April 15-May 1, 2015. Fall collection shall start in the highest elevation forest type and work to the lowest. This is true fir, then mixed conifer, and lastly ponderosa pine. If collections are delayed until spring, collections will start in the lowest elevations and proceed toward the highest. Field collections shall not start unless all sites have a reasonably good chance of being visited within 3-4 weeks.

Fluxes among pools of detrital carbon will be measured in each of the 30 research plots in or near the sampling locations. Flux measures will be made approximately quarterly when snow conditions allow.

Measurements will include one year of pre-treatment of canopy levels and two years of post-treatment of canopy levels. Flux measurements, collections of intact soil cores, and installation of litter-fall traps may start as soon as conditions allow. If fall 2014 measurements cannot be made, flux measurements shall start in the spring as snow conditions allow (expected to be April 15 to May 1, 2015).

Period of Work - Work is estimated to start by October 15, 2014 and continue through October 14, 2019.

PROJECT LOCATION:

Attached maps show the location of the study plots.

WORK METHODS AND STANDARDS

A. Technical Specifications: Collection and Measurement

I. Soils: collect 3 soil cores in each measurement plot using a soil bulk density sampler, provided by

Forest Service. Each core will be placed in a paper bag furnished by contractor, labeled with forest type, plot #, core #, and depth, and transported to Redding lab by contractor. Forest type, plot, and core location will be shown in the research maps. These samples will be used to determine in the lab:

fine-soil bulk density, rock volume, live and dead roots, and percent carbon. Sample soils with no (or with minimal) compression of the soil using a soil bulk density hammer or other coring device.

Attempt to include roots to 10 mm diameter and attempt to include rocks to 25 mm diameter. Collect soil samples at the following depths: 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, and 20-30 cm. 3 cores x 2 measurement plots x 5 treatments x 3 forest types= 90 measurement plots x 3 depths for a total of 270 samples.

These samples may be composited in the lab for analyses.

Core Sampling Method (Small Volumetric Sampler Method)

Sampling - Samples are collected using volumetric core samplers supplied by PSW Research Station.

Sample at all specified sampling points. Permanent metal posts mark sample points; precise sampling location is pin-flagged within 5…
