About this file
This is Amendment 1 to an Invitation for Bid issued by the South Carolina Forestry Commission for mastication services on Sumter National Forest. The project involves clearing downed woody debris from fire lines in two distinct areas—Long Cane and Enoree—covering approximately 9.4 miles and 11.2 miles respectively, with debris removal targeting woody materials greater than 4 inches in diameter using methods such as skidding, sawing, grinding, or mulching. Bids must be submitted by November 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM to either the mailing or physical address listed (SC Forestry Commission, 5500 Broad River Road, Columbia, SC 29212), with questions due by November 5, 2025, at 2:00 PM. No pre-bid conference or site visit is scheduled as part of this solicitation. Award is anticipated on November 13, 2025, and the contract period runs from November 21, 2025, through January 1, 2026. Bidders must submit one hard copy of their sealed offer, and all submissions must include a signed cover page acknowledging receipt of this amendment.
Bids will be evaluated on a per-mile basis with a budget cap of $100,000 per location, representing a total potential contract value of up to $200,000 for both project areas combined. Contractors are required to provide all necessary equipment, labor, and materials, secure a performance bond of $15,000, and participate in a mandatory pre-work conference with South Carolina Forestry Commission and Sumter National Forest representatives. The contract emphasizes environmental stewardship and requires contractors to demonstrate expertise in ecological-sensitive forest restoration, including avoiding damage to private property, protecting Red Cockaded woodpecker habitats, and minimizing impact on bat species through seasonal and temperature-based restrictions. All amendments and related notices will be posted at www.procurement.sc.gov, and offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment through submission of a signed copy with their bid.
