This document is Amendment 1 to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the South Carolina Forestry Commission for a site preparation, planting, and invasive species control project. The solicitation (Number 5400028264) seeks a contractor to perform forest management services in the Sandhills State Forest, including chemical site preparation on 173.2 acres, planting approximately 108,000 containerized longleaf pine seedlings, and invasive species control on 78 acres. The bid submission deadline has been modified to May 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with the award to be posted on May 13, 2025. The contract term will span from May 14, 2025, to March 30, 2026, with specific timeline requirements: herbicide application between June 21, 2025, and September 15, 2025, and tree planting between January 1, 2026, and March 1, 2026.
The solicitation requires bidders to be commercially licensed herbicide contractors with demonstrated experience in hand planting containerized pine seedlings. The contractor will be responsible for providing all chemicals, seedlings, labor, and equipment, and must guarantee 90% control of labeled woody species by September 15, 2026. The award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with the state reserving the right to reject any or all offers. No explicit set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions are specified. Contractors must demonstrate technical competence through licensing, herbicide application expertise, and pine seedling planting capabilities. The procurement includes unit pricing requirements for chemical site preparation, invasive species control, seedlings, and labor, with evaluation based on meeting technical specifications, environmental stewardship, and forest management objectives.
