TASKS

The contractor shall be required to non-commercially thin, treat slash, and hand pile identified units within the project area.

Units are identified by pink flagging and yellow Milex tags labeled BOUND with associated unit number (see attached pdf maps for unit numbers and locations). Of the total 490 thinning and hand piling treatment acres, 390 acres require non-commercial thinning (174 acres of thinning for machine piling with 70 of those acres listed as optional, 100 acres of thinning for hand piling, and 116 acres for thinning and sectioning with 27 of those acres listed as optional), and 100 acres require hand piling.

PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

BOUND is located on the Whitman Ranger District of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, approximately 45 miles west of Baker City. Typical mountainous terrain of the Blue Mountains should be expected when working in this area.

ACCESS

All units are accessed via the 7370000 road, the 7370100 road, and the 7370150 road.

Units 236R, 237R, 269, 274, 274A, 274B, 275, 276, 276A, 277, and 282 are accessed via the 7370000 road and have a legal of Township 9 South, Range 36 East, Sections 5 and 6

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

There are multiple units that are adjacent to private land ownership. Boundaries have been flagged in by following established t-post boundaries. If there is any confusion regarding the property/boundary line, the contractor shall stop working in the vicininty of the ownership boundary and reach out to the COR for clarification. Furthermore, where fencing exists, the contractor shall fell trees away from the fence into the unit and remove felled trees within 6 feet of the fence, protecting the fence and ensuring no damage is incurred.

Should springs and/or seeps be encountered that do not have a boundary protecting them, the contractor shall not cut within them and inform the COR of such areas so that a proper buffer can be created. Units where this may occur include, but not limited to; 236R, 237R, 231, 230, 231A, 235, 268, 279, 279B and 284.

Access to the Mt. Ireland trailhead occurs near the shared boundary of 272 and 279A. Treatment debris will not be placed within the tread of the designated trail.

SAFETY

Contractor shall provide a written, job-specific safety plan for the inherently hazardous conditions that exist during operations.

Contractor’s safety plan shall identify and describe hazardous conditions and specific actions to reduce these hazards. This plan shall be provided to the Contracting Officer (CO) at the post award conference. Work shall not commence on this project if the Contractor fails to provide the CO with an acceptable safety plan.
