Trees not designated for removal under this contract which are cut, felled, or otherwise seriously damaged through negligence by the contractor's operations shall be paid for by the contractor at the rate of $3.00 per inch in diameter, measured across the stump if cut or 4.5 feet from the ground (DBH) if uncut.

The Base Forester shall be contacted either in person or by telephone, (863) 452- 4119 ext. 302, prior to performing work under this contract. b. To avoid any conflicts with other natural resources programs, endangered species, wetlands, or the military mission of the Air Force, the Base Forester will approve all hauling roads, skid trails, wood ramps, and trailer locations. The Forester will determine which timber stand will be harvested first and the harvesting order of the other stands.
