- Description
- Task Order Against National BLM IDIQ Contract for the Estes Valley 2 Fuels Reduction Project. The Estes Valley 2 Fuel Reduction Project includes 905 acres of the total treatment area. Treatment objectives for all treatment units in the project area are: to reduce the risk of crown fire near Estes Park and surrounding communities; to reduce the fuel loading; to reduce ladder fuels; and to improve the long term health and vigor of these forests. The intent of this prescription is to accomplish these objectives by use of uneven-aged management treatments to establish open, irregularly-stocked, multi-aged stands which can be maintained through time by periodic prescribed burning and possibly harvests. To accomplish this, removals will be concentrated in smaller diameter classes, but a few small trees will be left to eventually grow into larger diameter classes. This under thinning will: 1) Reduce the threat of crown fire by removing small diameter live ladder fuels; 2) Reduce overall stocking levels to improve the health and vigor of the stands; and 3) Alter the existing species composition by reducing the number of lodge pole pine and Douglas fir and leaving greater numbers of ponderosa pine and aspen. In general, this prescription will focus on removal of trees in the smaller diameter classes but trees of larger diameter may be cut for purposes stated below. Rights to salvage material will not be provided to the Contractor in the Estes Valley 2 Fuels Reduction Project. This solicitation will only be made available (for free download) through FedBizOpps at www.fbo.gov. This project is set aside for contractors with current BLM IDIQ contracts.
