The contractor must perform timber removal (coppice cuts of live and dead aspen greater than 7.0 inches DBH) across 259 mandatory acres yielding approximately 10,540 CCF at a minimum of $1.00 per CCF, plus extensive road reconstruction and maintenance on five designated forest roads totaling 9.6 miles. Optional work includes timber removal across an additional 169 acres yielding approximately 6,877 CCF. Period of performance for mandatory items runs from award through December 31, 2030; optional items extend through August 1, 2031. Work quality must meet a 90 percent Acceptable Quality Level for timber removal and 100 percent AQL for road reconstruction.

The contract is firm fixed-price, set aside for small business concerns, and subject to Davis-Bacon wage requirements and Service Contract Act compliance. Performance and payment bonds are required if reconstruction costs exceed $35,000 and $150,000 respectively.
