About this file
This document is a Scope of Work (SOW) for a Forest Fuel Reduction Services contract issued by the California State Lands Commission for the Prosser Dam Road Fuel Reduction Project on School Lands Parcel #062-002 located in Truckee, California. The project involves thinning and pruning a 109-acre forested area divided into five zones, with 45 acres designated as high-priority and 62 acres as secondary priority areas. The primary objectives are to reduce fire hazards, improve forest health, and increase fire suppression chances for the Truckee community and critical infrastructure. The contract is estimated to commence on October 20, 2025, with timber and disposal operations to be completed by September 14, 2026, and has a one-year term with potential for a single one-year renewal.
The project requires a Licensed Timber Operator (LTO-A) to perform comprehensive forest management services, including tree thinning, pruning, removal, and transportation of harvested materials. The contractor must reduce the basal area from 340 ft²/acre to 60-75 ft²/acre and tree density from 316 trees/acre to 50-60 trees/acre, with specific spacing and pruning requirements. The work will be conducted under a CAL FIRE Forest Resilience Exemption permit, with strict adherence to Forest Practice Rules, environmental regulations, and safety protocols. The contractor is responsible for all equipment, personnel, fire suppression measures, and compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, including tribal and cultural resource monitoring by the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California.

IFB #2024-18 | Model Contract – Exhibit A Page 13 of 27 State Lands Commission | [BIDDER NAME] Prosser Dam Road Fuel Reduction Project – School Lands Parcel #062-002
EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF WORK
Introduction Comment by Beard, Kevin@SLC: Bidder to update the header of this Attachment with the Bidder’s business name.
Established in 1938, the California State Lands Commission (Commission) is composed of the Lieutenant Governor, the State Controller, and the Governor’s Director of Finance. The Commission is primarily a land and resource trust manager. It manages approximately four (4) million acres of California's state-owned (sovereign) Public Trust lands and resources that were received upon admission into the Union in 1850. It also manages other lands that the federal government conveyed to the state (commonly known as School Lands) and oversees the management of Public Trust lands legislatively granted in trust to over seventy (70) local jurisdictions. The Commission also enforces the protections of the Public Trust Doctrine, the State’s property rights, and important environmental quality and marine pollution prevention laws.
Background The trees on School Lands parcel #062-002, located at 12481 Prosser Dam Road in Truckee, CA, appear to have been planted in the 1960s after a fire, known as the Penny Fire, burned through the area. This stand of trees does not appear to have ever been thinned and can be considered overstocked and a potential fire hazard. The site quality is considered Site IV timberland per the California Forest Practice Rules.
Purpose and Objective The purpose of this agreement is to contract for Forest Fuel Reduction Services pursuant to Public Resources Code (PRC) section 4771.
The objectives of this timber operation are to reduce the threat of a potential fire to the community of Truckee and critical infrastructure such as powerlines, to increase the chances of successful fire suppression in case a fire occurs on the property, and to improve the health and growth of the post-harvest stand by increasing the growing space of the residual trees, making them more resistant to drought, insects, and disease.
1) Site Description and Location
