About this file
This document is a Timber Sale Prescription for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources - Forest Resources Division's C 19 Marking Contract in Otsego County. The contract requires paint line work, boundary GPS, timber marking specifications, and timber cruising on approximately 122.9 acres across two stands. The work must be completed by September 1, 2023. The contract allows the contractor to begin work immediately. The project involves thinning stands to specific basal area targets, establishing regeneration gaps, and avoiding marking of underrepresented species. The contractor must provide a list of names for those who marked or cruised each unit, a summary of paint used, and upload all data to the DNR's InventoryManager system.
The contract requires the contractor to provide pricing for the total merchantable residual basal area, number of regeneration gaps per acre, and number of girdled trees per acre. The contractor must meet specific standards for marking lines against private land. The DNR will supply the paint and the contractor's work schedule must coincide with the DNR's schedule for paint supply. The contractor may not have more than two markers in one cruise unit without prior approval, and each marker must have an assigned area to mark.

Stand 2: Thin stand down to an average of 80 sq ft, releasing better quality crop trees. Establish regeneration gaps at a rate of 1 gap for every 5 acres, with a minimum size of 100 x 100 ft. Avoid marking underrepresented species such as pine or oak. Where applicable, try to release smaller diameter co-dominate sugar maples.
- Some areas very heavy to beech brush. Would recommend marking stand during leaf off due to the thick understory. BA is variable in some spots, so expect areas to be lightly marked.
- Survey corner present in NW corner. Avoid disturbance during harvesting.
Stand 46: Thin stand down to an average of 80 sq ft. Target removal of stems with poor form, defect, and where possible, target larger diameter basswood clumps. Try to avoid incidental species such as pine, birch or oak.
- An underground utility line goes through the middle of the stand.
