STATEMENT OF WORK
Feller Buncher Skid Steer Attachment
1.0 Background and Purpose
The Black Hills National Forest, Hell Canyon Ranger District requires, for purchase, a skid steer-mounted feller buncher attachment to accomplish hazardous fuels reduction work in support of the Forest Plan (guidelines 4110 and 4112) and the following program objectives:
1. Speed up fuels reduction work per unit, reduce cost per acre, and produce a cleaner finished product with less residual debris and less wear on equipment and personnel.
1. Reduce the fire hazard rating to the Forest Plan goal of 50-75% low-to-moderate rating.
1. Increase the resiliency of community and forest landscapes to wildfire, and decrease the severity of wildfire impacts in the project area.
1. Support effective and safe response to wildfires when they occur.
1. Provide site preparation for tree planting where needed.
1. Promote forest health by reducing risk and severity of insect infestation (primarily ponderosa pine) on National Forest System land and surrounding communities.
The equipment will be Forest Service owned and operated, funded through National Fire Hazard/Fuels (NFHF) program funds, and utilized across multiple projects within the Hell Canyon Ranger District.
