About this file
This is Amendment 3 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 locations: Long Cane and Enoree, covering approximately 9.4 miles and 11.2 miles respectively. Contractors must remove woody debris greater than 4 inches in diameter and masticate or heavily brush all standing shrubs and saplings less than 6 inches diameter at breast height within specified 30-foot and 10-foot guidelines. Bid submissions are due by November 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with award notification scheduled for November 14, 2025. The contract period runs from November 21, 2025, to January 1, 2026. A pre-bid conference is not applicable to this solicitation. Bids are to be submitted on a per-mile basis with a budget cap of $100,000 per location, resulting in a total potential contract value of up to $200,000 for both areas combined.
A performance bond of $15,000 is required for contract performance. The solicitation requires contractors to provide all necessary equipment, labor, and materials for debris removal operations, including methods such as skidding, sawing, grinding, or mulching. Environmental considerations are significant, requiring contractors to avoid damage to private property, protect Red Cockaded woodpecker habitats, and minimize impact on bat species through seasonal and temperature-based operational restrictions. The project emphasizes ecological stewardship in areas affected by Hurricane Helene, requiring demonstrated expertise in forest management and debris removal techniques in environmentally sensitive settings. Prospective bidders must register as a South Carolina vendor and submit sealed offers either online at www.procurement.sc.gov or to the SC Forestry Commission at 5500 Broad River Road, Columbia, SC 29212. Questions regarding the solicitation must be received by November 5, 2025, at 11:00 AM.
