The purpose of this project is to prepare sites for mowing and tree planting on precision spacing across approximately 96.6 acres of land, including primary and secondary forest roads, forest access routes, and administrative access areas. The scope of work involves mastication of all stems and slash greater than 1 inch in diameter, as well as stump grinding 4 inches below grade. Proposals will be evaluated on best value, and the state may award multiple contracts. The proposal deadline is 9:30 a.m. Eastern on January 8, 2024, and the anticipated contract start date is January 31, 2024, with a completion date of September 30, 2024.

The pricing is requested on a per-acre basis for the full acreage as well as an option for 25 acres at each site, but the project is funded through state sources and the contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder with the lowest price. The document does not provide specific details on the award value or budget range for this contract opportunity.
