Dutch Salvage Manual Release

Added: Mar 08, 2016 8:16 pm The Plumas National Forest, Mt. Hough Ranger District has a requirement to Grub approximately 621 acres. The Forest Service expects to award a Firm Fixed price contract with a Base Item of approximately 417 acres located on 8 units, and 6 optional items ranging from 12 to 51 Acres for an estimated total of 205 Acres.

Description of Work: The intent of this contract is to secure services for manual release of conifer seedlings planted within the Dutch Fire Salvage area. The areas to be treated were burned by wildfire in 2012 and were salvage logged and site prepped before planting in 2015. The units have varying degrees of burned trees, hardwood, and brush, much of which has re-sprouted. Manual release for survival will be accomplished by grubbing competing vegetation within a fixed radius of surviving conifer seedlings, both planted and natural.
