Contractors must furnish all personnel, equipment, materials, supervision, and transportation necessary to complete the seeding operations, with the ability to commence work within three calendar days of seed availability notification and complete all work within six calendar days.

The work will be performed across multiple locations in Jefferson, Power, and Blaine Counties in Idaho, specifically at Jefferson Restoration Project areas, Horse Butte, and Cowley's Fuel Break near Terreton, Idaho.
