About this file
This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for non-commercial thinning and hand pile services on the Wallowa Whitman National Forest's Whitman Ranger District in Baker City, Oregon.
The Wallowa Whitman National Forest requires non-commercial thinning and hand pile services across approximately 1,211 base acres and 708 optional acres (1,919 total acres) in the Baker City Watershed (BCW), Ten Cent, and East Face Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) project areas to reduce hazardous fuels. The contract period runs from June 15, 2026 to November 30, 2027, with a requirement that contractors complete a minimum of 70% of base acres by November 30, 2026, with emphasis on the BCW area. The contractor must furnish all labor, supervision, equipment, transportation (except government-furnished items), and incidentals for fuel reduction activities. Work involves altering fuel bed continuity in ponderosa pine and juniper stands by removing slash from non-commercial thinning operations, natural woody debris accumulation, and hazardous live fuels (ladder fuels) to enable rapid wildfire containment, improve firefighter safety, and reduce wildfire impact to adjacent private property.
Key deliverables due within 14 calendar days of contract award include: a work plan with project milestones (35%, 70%, and 100% completion dates, with 100% completion by November 30, 2027), key personnel identification, safety plan, fire plan, quality control plan, Forest Service overload permits, and equipment storage request. The contractor must also submit a property plan and contract manager information within 7 and 14 calendar days of award, respectively. A Contract Manager or designated alternate must be available during government working hours and on site within one hour after regular working hours. Project units are marked with pink flagging and yellow Milex tags labeled with unit numbers; several units have special considerations including stream channels and private property boundaries requiring buffering and mitigation. Units are located in the Baker City, Granite, and Haines, Oregon areas with access via specific highway and Forest Service road routes detailed in the unit-specific spreadsheets.
