The estimated begin date is July 15, 2026. Work is seasonal (May 1 through October 16 annually) and must maintain a minimum production rate of 3 acres per day per person.
Contractors must thin trees from 1 foot tall to 8 inches diameter breast height to 15-by-15-foot spacing (14-by-14-foot for units 420A and 420B), with species preference for Ponderosa Pine and Western Larch.

Quality standards require minimum 90 percent acceptance based on plot inspections (minimum 1 percent of treated area). Payment is graduated: 90 percent or above receives full unit price; 70–89 percent quality receives 2 percent deductions per 1 percent below 90 percent; below 70 percent receives no payment.
