This is a map document related to a Request for Quote issued by the Oregon Department of Forestry for non-commercial thinning services on private land in the Crescent Lake area of Jackson County, Oregon. The WBB_Map_2026_South.pdf file appears to be a geographic reference map supporting the Crescent Lake Bark Beetle Non-Commercial Thinning procurement. The project encompasses approximately 49 acres and requires contractors to perform selective thinning, removal of damaged and diseased trees, hand piling of slash materials less than eight inches in diameter, and construction of covered piles meeting specific height and diameter requirements. All work must be completed by June 30, 2026. Electronic quotes must be submitted through the OregonBuys platform no later than April 10, 2026, at 12:00 PM PST. The solicitation does not specify a formal bidders' meeting or site visit requirement, though contractors are responsible for conducting their own site investigations.

Pricing will be evaluated on a lowest-total-cost basis, with all costs including travel, per diem, transportation, and other expenses incorporated into the quote with no separate compensation for move-in, move-out, or demobilization. The solicitation contains no set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, or emerging small businesses. Payment will be made only for inspected acres meeting acceptable work quality standards. Contractors must maintain a valid Oregon Farm/Forest Labor Contractor License, employ a minimum crew of eight experienced workers with qualified supervisors, and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage. The ODF reserves the right to reduce acreage or award fewer quantities than estimated to remain within budget. All work product and deliverables become the exclusive property of the State of Oregon.
