Lookout will be required to maintain a daily log of events and provide a written summary of events at the end of each contract year. Work will include monitoring radio traffic; relaying radio messages, plotting fire start locations, providing fire behavior reports, report state of the weather and take weather readings when requested. This will be a 3 year lookout services IDIQ contract with 1 base year and 2 option years. Services shall be required from approximately July 1 until October 31 of each year. Each year will be started by issuance of a task order by the Government. Services will be required 7 days per week, from 0900 to 1800 hours, with additional work (overtime) when requested, approximately 25 hours per year. There may be opportunities to schedule days off during the scheduled period of performance, but those days must be agreed to by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) in advance. The COR may cancel scheduled days off at the last minute, should circumstances arise requiring lookout services. Oregon Butte Lookout is located on the Pomeroy Ranger District, Pomeroy Washington, at Township 7 North, Range 41 East, Section 4, at approximately 6000 feet in elevation. Access: From the Eckler Mountain Road located in Dayton, WA. Follow road about 15 miles (heading east) to a stone monument located at the junction of Eckler Mountain Rd. and Kendall Skyline rd. (F.S. road #46). From there turn right (south) on to Kendall Skyline #46 for 12 miles to Godman Guard Station. Turn left (east) below Godman on to Rd. #4608. Take all main right turns for 5 miles to Teepee Trailhead. From Teepee Trailhead hike 3 miles to Oregon Butte Lookout on Oregon Butte Trail #3134. Considerations: Oregon Butte is in the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness, no motorized or wheeled access exists from Tee Pee Trailhead to Lookout facility. The Oregon Butte trail is only maintained for foot and pack string use since it is located within the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness. Oregon Butte Trail #3134, begins at Teepee Trailhead and climbs and descends over ridges, draws and through saddles with slope grades ranging from 0 to 40% for 2.5 miles towards a log water trough. From there the trail climbs for 0.5 miles to Oregon Butte Lookout. This distance can be traversed in 1 to 2 hours depending on conditions of trail, weather, time of day and level of fitness of the individual. Access to local communities, to obtain supplies requires most part of a day. Serving as a Lookout at Oregon Butte requires living in a 14’ by 16’ area for long periods of time and will/may require staffing extended hours, throughout the contract period. Extremes in weather conditions occur due to the Lookouts location and elevation. Approved water source for consumption and use is located at Godman Guard Station. Water must be hauled from Godman Guard Station to Lookout by the Contractor.
