This document outlines the details for the DNR - TSP Gaylord - C40 Marking Contract, a 165.5-acre timber sales preparation project managed by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources - Forest Resources Division. The contract involves painting boundary lines, marking individual trees for harvest or retention, and performing a full timber cruise. The work must be completed by September 1, 2023, with a start date as early as October 1, 2022. The contract area is located in Otsego County, Michigan, with access off of Howard Road. The prescribed treatments include thinning the stand to an average basal area of 80 square feet, establishing regeneration gaps, and protecting specific natural features. Contractors will be required to follow detailed marking specifications and provide data deliverables such as paint usage summaries and geospatial files.

The document specifies the total merchantable residual basal area targets, as well as the required sizes and quantities for regeneration gaps and girdled trees. Pricing information is not included, but the contract is open to competitive bid. There are no set-asides mentioned, and the current incumbent is unknown.
