Attachment 2 - MRWMA Unit 2.pdf

This is a Geographic Information System (GIS) map attachment related to a tree clearing solicitation issued by the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission (NGPC) for the Merritt Reservoir Wildlife Management Area located in Cherry County, Nebraska. The map depicts Unit 2 of the Merritt WMA and identifies the project area comprising approximately 2,605.4 acres of grassland and 57.0 acres of woodlands, along with associated recreational and operational areas including Windmill Lake, Merritt Reservoir State Recreational Area, and the 16F to 97 Road corridor. The map utilizes geographic data from Esri, TomTom, USDA FSA, and other contributors to provide spatial context for the contract area.

The visualization serves as a reference document for the broader tree clearing contract opportunity, which involves removing Eastern Red Cedar and Rocky Mountain Juniper trees across approximately 4,262.5 acres using primary methods of mulching, with cutting and piling permitted for larger trees. The solicitation opened January 8, 2026, with a mandatory bidders conference scheduled for January 21, 2026, at the Merritt Reservoir State Recreational Area, and a response deadline of February 10, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. Contract award is anticipated for February 20, 2026, with performance scheduled from March 9, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The map attachment provides the geographic delineation necessary for bidders to understand the spatial layout of Unit 2 and plan their clearing operations accordingly.
