Kerby Fuels Reduction Project Shapefile.zip

The document is a state and local contract opportunity issued by the Illinois Valley Soil and Water Conservation District in Oregon for the Kerby Fuels Reduction Project. The District is seeking proposals from qualified Contractors to conduct fuels reduction work on approximately 72 acres across 11 private properties in Kerby, OR and Cave Junction, OR. The project scope includes mastication, hand thinning and piling, and the creation of fuelbreaks. Contractors must demonstrate experience with similar projects, provide references, and submit a detailed technical approach, implementation schedule, and cost proposal. The District intends to award a fixed-price contract of $94,000, with work to be completed by July 2025. The project is being funded through a Community Wildfire Defense Grant administered by the USFS.

The $94,000 contract value represents the total funding available for this project, and the District does not anticipate any additional budget increases. This opportunity is open to all qualified Contractors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The District has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors for this project. The successful Contractor will need to integrate their services with any existing infrastructure or technology on the project sites.
