DNR - TSP Roscommon - C 81 Contract; 106. 7 acres

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is procuring timber marking and cruising services for the Roscommon Management Unit, involving four forest stands (70, 71, 74, and 92) totaling 106.7 acres located in Roscommon County. The primary objectives include crown thinning treatments with a target residual basal area of 70-90 square feet per acre, with specific marking protocols for each stand—Stands 74 and 92 require removal of poor-formed and suppressed trees while preserving red/white pine trees 26 inches or larger in diameter at breast height, while Stands 70 and 71 require marking trees to leave that are healthy and well-formed suitable as seed sources. Key deliverables include GPS boundary data collection, paint line work using color-coded marking systems (red for exterior state boundaries, yellow for interior payment units, and green for marked leave trees), tree marking with orange and green slashes at specified locations, and comprehensive documentation of personnel assignments and paint consumption. Contractors must adhere to minimum DBH requirements of 10.6 inches for sawlogs and 4.6 inches for pulpwood, with stump heights clearly marked, and are limited to no more than two markers per cruise unit without prior approval. All cruise and GPS data must be uploaded from MobileMap to InventoryManager, and work must be completed by September 1, 2025, with contract work able to commence immediately. The proposal deadline is December 9, 2024, with questions directed to Dakota Ewald at the Roscommon Field Office at (989) 619-5449 or EwaldD3@Michigan.gov.

The contract documents do not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendor information. The DNR will provide cruise layout files, GPS data files, and paint supplies through DNR coordination, requiring contractor integration with the existing MobileMap and InventoryManager systems. Pricing and payment terms are based on estimated acreage with compensation contingent upon actual work performed according to specified contract requirements. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the available procurement documentation.
