Attachment 3 - MRWMA Unit 4.pdf

Attachment 3 is a geographic information system (GIS) map document prepared by the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission (NGPC) depicting Merritt Reservoir Wildlife Management Area Unit 4 in Cherry County, Nebraska. The map illustrates the spatial distribution of the 312.7-acre management unit, which comprises 240.2 acres of grassland and 72.5 acres of woodlands. The map identifies key features including Boardman Creek, Merritt Reservoir, State Highway 97, and Snake River Road, with specific designation of fuels reduction areas totaling 15.3 acres. The visualization utilizes multiple data sources including Esri, USDA FSA, TomTom, Garmin, FAO, NOAA, and USGS to provide accurate geographic reference and context for the tree clearing operations planned within this wildlife management area unit.

This map document serves as a supporting exhibit for the tree clearing service contract solicitation issued by NGPC, which requires removal of Eastern Red Cedar and Rocky Mountain Juniper trees measuring 18 inches or taller across approximately 4,262.5 acres of the broader Merritt Reservoir Wildlife Management Area. The map's depiction of Unit 4's composition and fuel reduction zones provides essential spatial reference for bidders preparing proposals and contractors planning removal operations, with the solicitation requiring mandatory attendance at a January 21, 2026, site conference and establishing a February 10, 2026, proposal deadline for contract performance spanning March 9, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
