About this file
This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the Scattered Willow Wash Silvicultural Prescription, issued by the Bureau of Indian Affairs Navajo Regional Office's Fuels Management Program for Fiscal Year 2025. The project involves a prescribed burn on approximately 15,413 acres located 8 miles south of Sawmill, Arizona, at an elevation of 8,000 feet within Apache County. The primary objectives are to decrease total fuel loading by 70% and allow for 5% total tree mortality through prescribed burning activities, which aim to re-introduce fire into the ecological process for removing dead and down woody material and promoting healthy forest conditions.
The SOW requires a Certified Silviculturist to conduct a comprehensive stand-level inventory, documenting detailed forest attributes including species composition, wildlife habitat conditions, and site productivity. Deliverables must be submitted by September 30, 2026, and include stand exam data, timber marking guidelines, projected results tables, visualization of results, and various maps. The project is guided by policies from the Wildland and Prescribed Fire Management Policy Implementation Procedures, the Ten Year Forest Management Plan for the Navajo Nation, and the Navajo Region Fire Management Plan. No additional vehicles, equipment, or personnel will be provided by Fire Management, and the contractor will receive a performance appraisal upon completion.
