About this opportunity

The Oregon Department of State Lands is soliciting a contract for timber pre-sale layout, tree marking, and cruising services for the Elliott State Research Forest. The procurement covers approximately 1,650 acres across Coos and Douglas Counties, with specific requirements for six timber sales: Scholfield, Cougar Prey, Rob Ben, Knife Mill, Totten, and Dry John. Contractors will be responsible for up to 500 acres of individual tree marking, approximately 55 miles of harvest unit boundary delineation, and 280 acres of forest cruising. Key deliverables include precise GPS data collection with 50-foot accuracy, monthly reporting of labor hours and resource usage, and comprehensive forest boundary marking using orange paint stripes and flagging. Evaluation criteria will focus on the proposer's technical approach, project team experience, and cost proposal. The Request for Proposal was issued on July 30, 2025, with proposals due by August 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, covering timber sale offer periods from Fall 2025 to Fall 2026.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide their own labor, equipment, GPS units, and supplies, with some materials potentially supplied by the Department of State Lands. Insurance requirements are substantial, including $1,000,000 in general liability, $1,000,000 in automobile liability, and $1,000,000 in pollution liability, with the state to be listed as an additional insured. While specific contract value is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the project spanning multiple timber sales and nearly 1,650 acres suggests a significant potential contract value. The project maps, created by Farm Unlimited of North Bend, Oregon, indicate detailed forest management strategies involving extensive, intensive, and restoration thinning across various townships and ranges. Contractors will need specialized forestry expertise, precise mapping capabilities, and the ability to execute detailed forest inventory and boundary marking procedures.
