- Description
- Eagle Ridge Stewardship Program Goals / Purpose This project will be accomplished through the use of a stewardship contract, which authorizes the value of forest products to be applied as an offset against the cost of services received; multi-year contract authority greater than five years but not to exceed ten years (Public Law 108-7). The goals for this project are; (1) to meet the needs of the community by providing wood products, (2) remove vegetation to produce a healthy forest stand, (3) reduce current fire hazards on Federally managed lands in the Bald Eagle Roost and adjacent private and state-owned lands. BACKGROUND The implementation of this work will aid as a tool in achieving the goals and objectives of the National Fire Plan, the Healthy Forest Restoration Act, and the Platte River Resource Management Plan. The Eagle Ridge property is located in the Jackson Canyon ACEC (Bald Eagle Habitat Management Plan for the Platte River Resource Area and Jackson Canyon ACEC), and this project is aimed at providing protection of the forest resources in the Bald Eagle Roost, the WUI situation, and the recreation areas (Archery Range). The forest stands are mixed Ponderosa and Lodgepole Pine. Vast numbers of trees have died and many are currently infested with mountain Pine Beetles. This has created a wildland fire hazard and a conditional WUI situation. The historical fire regime has been absent from this portion of Casper Mountain and therefore the build-up of fuels (dead and dying trees, heavy woody debris with sagebrush and grasses bordering the forest) has created a wildland fire hazard. SCOPE This project will include the continuation and completion of the fuel breaks being established on the southwest face of this mountain and the implementation of the forest health treatments on 35 acres over a 7 year period. The current acres (35) include only the tree mortality. The infested trees will also be removed and a buffer will be created between the infested areas and the healthy trees (20 acres). Thinning will be performed on the residual stands (35 acres) to increase the effectiveness of the fuel breaks and provide a forest stand that is more resilient to insect, disease and fire problems. Period of Performance This is a multi year contract contemplated by Section 323 of P.L. 108-7, and as such may continue for a period of up to 10 years. The period of performance for this contract will be from date of award to September 2012. In the event that the cost of the services exceeds the value of the timber products and or the appropriated funds, the cancellation dates require by Federal Acquisition Regulation 17.106-1 will be mutually arrived.
