Attachment 7a. Vicinity Map_Zoombug.pdf

This solicitation seeks proposals for a Zoombug Stewardship Integrated Resource Service Contract (IRSC) to be awarded by the U.S. Forest Service. The contract will improve forest health and enhance community safety in the Almanor and Zoombug areas of the Lassen National Forest that were impacted by the 2021 Dixie Complex Fire. Work will include removing hazardous fuels from watersheds and the Wildland Urban Interface through treatments such as felling 11 acres of timber, removing decked and piled materials, chipping slash piles, and mechanically treating fire-killed and injured trees within 150 feet of County Road PL 307 and Forest Service Road 26N27 to reduce high fuel loads and address public safety. The goals will be accomplished by improving forest health in moderately to severely burned areas and reducing hazardous fuels to protect recreational sites, rural communities, and roads heavily used by the public and private entities.
