QA2 Wickiup CSE 2025.pdf

This Questions & Answers document (#2) is from the Oregon Department of Forestry regarding ITB S-62900-00012487 for Wickiup Common Stand Exams 2025. The document specifically addresses a follow-up inquiry about down wood measurement requirements from a previous Q&A document. The key clarification provided is that down wood will be measured within a 1/10th acre fixed plot rather than using a transect method as previously indicated. The minimum length requirement for measuring down wood pieces is 6 feet, with any pieces under 6 feet in length not requiring measurement or recording.

The document corrects an earlier response that had referenced a transect-based piece count method, which caused confusion among potential bidders. This clarification impacts how contractors will need to approach the down wood measurement portion of the Common Stand Exams, which is part of the larger forest inventory project covering approximately 30,000 acres with 472 plots. No pricing information, set-asides, or other contractual terms are discussed in this Q&A document.
