EXHIBIT F - RMRS Plot Locations - Fuzzed Coordinates - Montana 2025.xlsx

The file is an Excel spreadsheet (EXHIBIT F) containing estimated plot locations for the Rocky Mountain Research Station's Forest Inventory and Analysis Contract in Montana for 2025. The document lists 49 specific plot locations across 10 Montana counties, including Beaverhead, Carbon, Flathead, Gallatin, Judith Basin, Madison, Meagher, Park, Powell, Sanders, Stillwater, and Sweet Grass. Each plot is associated with a national forest or wilderness area such as Beaverhead-Deerlodge, Custer-Gallatin, Flathead, Lewis and Clark, and Kootenai National Forests, with some plots located in wilderness areas like Bob Marshall, Great Bear, Lee Metcalf, and Absaroka-Beartooth.

The related federal contract opportunity (Solicitation Number: 1240BG25Q0027) is for the FY25 RMRS Montana FIA Plots, issued by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The contract requires a one-person minimum crew (two recommended in high wildlife activity areas) to perform field-based vegetation sampling across forested and non-forested inventory plots. Specific work includes locating, monumenting, and photographing plots, conducting tree, shrub, and vegetation inventories, collecting tree cores, and documenting plot characteristics using RMRS FIA P2 Field Procedures. The coordinates provided are "fuzzed" and may be up to 1/2 mile from the actual location, with a note to contact the Contracting Office for ownership clarification.
