This file is Attachment C - Sale Area Layout associated with a timber salvage contract opportunity issued by the Governing Board of the St. Johns River Water Management District in Alachua County, Florida. The project involves a per-ton timber sale comprised of approximately 36.1 acres within the Longleaf Flatwoods Reserve, located west of County Road 325 in Section 9, Township 11 South, Range 21 East. The Primary harvest area encompasses the full 36.1 acres designated for clearcut harvest of dead, dying, and green pine, with hardwood trees not required to be harvested. An Optional area is available where buyers may cross the Primary boundary to harvest dead pine only, with no green pine available for harvest in this zone. The District's Project Manager will determine the allowable extent of harvesting within the Optional area. All operations must commence within fourteen calendar days of contract execution. The timber salvage is necessitated by an Ips beetle infestation.

The District estimates timber volumes of approximately 860 tons of pine pulpwood, 126 tons of chip-n-saw, and 1,550 tons of saw-timber, though no guarantee of volume presence is provided. The contract is structured on a per-ton pricing basis. Sealed quotes are being requested for this timber sale, and the sale boundaries include roads and firebreaks as depicted in the attached maps and layout documentation. No specific response dates, site visit requirements, or bidder conferences are noted in the contract description provided.
