LIMEPOINT FIRE TRAILS STABILIZATION

PAYETTE NATIONAL FOREST

Statement of Work Limepoint Fire Trail Stabilization

Background The 2024 Limepoint Fire affected nearly the entirety of the 12.2 mile long trail system accessed from the Kinney Creek, Allsion Creek, and Eckels Creek Trailheads along Hells Canyon Reservoir on Payette National Forest.

Description of Project Work must be performed to restore sustainable trail tread to portions of the trail where this has been affected by loss of anchoring vegetation and post fire run-off, as well as to make the trail system more resistant to future runoff due to long-term fire effects. As such, the overall goal is to restore a full trail bench (see Plans) to the entirety of the trail system or, as much as possible with the funding available, as well as adding drainage features where necessary to withstand erosion. Install signs at junctions of 222 and 221, 514 and 223, 223 and 225; Install Kinney Creek Trailhead sign the beginning of the 221 and Hells Canyon rd. junction.

Location All work will be performed on the sections of National Forest System (NFS) Trails no. 221 (Kinney Cr.), 222 (Kinney Cr.-Eckels Cr.), 223 (Eckels Cr.), and 514 (Allison Cr.) shown on the attached map. These trailheads are in the general vicinity of the Big Bar Recreation Area along Hells Canyon Road. All are located on the Council Ranger District of Payette National Forest. This is located approximately 54 road miles north of Cambridge, ID, accessed via State Hwy 71 to Hells Canyon Road.

Period of Performance The period of performance for the base and optional items begins on the effective date of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and runs through November 15, 2026. The end date may be extended depending on the availability of funds.

Construction Notes

· Restore full bench trail where necessary. reconstruct full bench trail where existing trail tread is less than 24” in width. New full bench trail will be 36” in width except where impractical due to obstructions. Partial bench will only be allowed where full bench is impractical, and soil moisture allows for sufficient compaction to create a sustainable tread.

· Full bench indicates the full width of the trail tread (36” when practicable) would be created via excavation (as opposed to using fill).

· No borrow sites are identified as excavation will produce sufficient amounts of fill material.

· No geotextile will be required for the excavation and fill.

· No surface course aggregate is required to used on any of the drainage dips.

· Option Item Only--Install drainage dips at locations denoted by flagging, or as warranted by slope and existing erosion impacts to the trail tread (not to exceed 20 without approval).

· Install signs at trailhead junctions according to “EM-7100-15 Sign and Poster Guidelines for the FS”. Contact COR for accessing the manual.

· Details of mileage and arrow direction will be identified by COR prior to implementation.

· Avoidance areas are preidentified for archaeological concerns along the trail corridor. These are blade up no work zones for sections marked in contract maps. Tracking machine to cross is allowed.

· Avoid unnecessary crossing of creeks to minimize compaction and erosion effects in these riparian areas.

· Clearing and grubbing of vegetative materials and rock obstructions to full bench width 36”.

· Brushing of onsite vegetation and removal from trail corridor to a minimum width of 8’

· Fuel storage and refueling not to be near water sources A spill containment kit that will accommodate potential spills from the equipment used during implementation shall be at fuel storage and refueling sites.
