This is a Project Activity Level (PAL) map document prepared by the USDA Forest Service for the Stanislaus National Forest in California, supporting a Master Stewardship Agreement between Tuolumne County and the Forest Service. The map delineates project activity level zones within the Stanislaus National Forest, establishing operational restrictions and fire prevention guidelines that contractors must follow during survey and land management work. The PAL system categorizes areas by fire danger ratings and environmental conditions, with zones ranging from moderate to high activity levels across different geographic regions, including areas such as Cottage Pinecrest, Mount Elizabeth, and the North-South corridor. Contractors performing land survey services—including retracement, dependent resurveys, boundary marking, road and trail rights-of-way surveys, and computer-aided drafting—must comply with these activity level restrictions. The survey work is to be conducted on Stanislaus National Forest lands and potentially on private unincorporated lands within Tuolumne County, with all work performed under the direct supervision of a California-licensed surveyor in accordance with state and local laws and Bureau of Land Management manual instructions. The RFP was issued on April 14, 2023, with proposals due by 4:00 pm on May 3, 2023, and the initial contract term is three years with potential for three one-year extensions, with task orders issued on an as-needed basis for projects ranging from under 500 acres to over 3,000 acres.

The contract will be awarded on a not-to-exceed amount per year basis, with specific pricing determined through individual task orders as projects are identified. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are specified in the procurement. The Tuolumne River Trust will supervise contractors and oversee project work as part of a collaborative effort by Yosemite Stanislaus Solutions to protect, enhance, and restore forest and watershed health while creating local economic opportunities. Specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the available documentation, but the task order structure allows for flexibility in project scope and compensation based on actual work performed and geographic project characteristics.
