About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This document is a Timber Sale Prescription from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources - Forest Resources Division for a 96.0 acre timber thinning project in Montmorency County. The project, titled "Comp 34 Oak Thinning," requires the contractor to perform crown thinning to achieve a target residual basal area of 80 sq ft, marking trees for removal, cruising timber stands, and boundary line work. The contract work can begin immediately and must be completed by August 1, 2024. The Department will provide paint and GPS data files, but the contractor is responsible for paint application, GPS data collection, and delivering all data to the Department.

The prescription specifies minimum and maximum residual basal area targets, as well as details on tree marking, cruise layout, and other technical requirements. Payment will be made based on the estimated 96.0 acre area. No pricing or funding information is provided, but this appears to be a competitively bid state contract opportunity in Michigan.
