About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a Timber Sale Prescription document from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Forest Resources Division, for the Roscommon Management Unit. The project involves timber marking and cruising services across five forest stands (177, 187, 188, 189, and 190) totaling 356.4 estimated acres located in Sections 27 and 34, Township 21N, Range 03W. The contract work may begin immediately and must be completed by August 1, 2025. The prescriptions vary by stand and include clearcuts with retention for aspen regeneration (Stands 177 and 187), a shelterwood treatment reducing basal area to 50 (Stand 188), and crown thinning operations reducing basal area to 70-90 (Stands 189 and 190). Contractor responsibilities include marking trees for removal and retention using specified paint colors and symbols, painting boundary lines, conducting timber cruising with GPS data collection, and delivering all data through the MobileMap to InventoryManager system. Access to the project area is available via multiple county roads including Reserve Road, Parrent Drive, and Claroskee Road.

The DNR will supply paint and establish the paint supply schedule, with contractor work schedules required to align with DNR availability during regular business hours. Contractors may not deploy more than two markers per cruise unit without prior approval, and each marker must be assigned distinct treatment areas rather than strips. Deliverables include a list of personnel who marked or cruised each unit, a summary of paint consumption in quarts, and all cruise and GPS data uploaded to InventoryManager. Marking specifications require sawlogs to meet a minimum 10.6-inch diameter at breast height with 10-inch top diameter of breast height, and pulpwood to meet 4.6-inch minimum with 4-inch top diameter. All marked trees must display two slashes on each side at breast height visible from all sides and include stump marking with paint extending to ground level. Doug Tyran serves as the local contact at (989) 464-9463.
