About this file
This is a Performance Work Statement for non-commercial thinning and grapple pile services on the Wallowa Whitman National Forest in Oregon. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service seeks a contractor to perform fuels reduction activities over approximately 377 base acres in the BCW Thin and Grapple #2 project units within the Whitman Ranger District. The contract period runs from June 15, 2026, to November 30, 2026. The project encompasses nine base units (17, 22F, 324A, 326, 328, 628, 628A, 644, and 667A) consisting of open ponderosa pine stands with scattered pockets of natural regeneration. The contractor must furnish all labor, supervision, equipment, transportation (except government-furnished items), and associated materials for fuels reduction work.
The primary objectives are to alter fuel bed continuity by addressing slash created by non-commercial thinning, natural woody debris buildup, and hazardous live fuels (ladder fuels) to enable rapid wildfire containment, enhance firefighter safety, reduce natural resource damage, and protect adjacent private property. The contractor must submit a work plan within 14 calendar days of award that includes a project milestone plan depicting 35%, 70%, and 100% completion dates; key personnel information; safety and fire plans; a quality control plan per FP-03 153.02; Forest Service overload permits; and an equipment storage request (Deliverable 01). Additional deliverables include a contractor property plan (Deliverable 02) and key personnel contact information (Deliverable 03), both due within 14 calendar days of award. No government property is furnished. The work must comply with detailed unit information standards with an acceptable quality level of 95%. No thinning shall occur prior to June 15 in pine stands to prevent pine beetle infestation, and the contractor must identify and report wet or moist soil conditions to the Contracting Officer's Representative for appropriate buffering.
