- Description
- Amendment 2 clarifies the number of treatment acres at 2838. The Gila National Forest, Silver City, New Mexico, is soliciting supplies and services for rotor wing aerial mulch application of certified weed free straw to burned areas in the Black Range Mountains northeast of Silver City, New Mexico. The treatment areas total 2,838 acres that were burned from a moderate to severe degree as a result of the Silver Fire, which burned approximately 135,000 acres of timberland beginning early in June of 2013. The ensuing end- product contract requires the contractor to acquire and deliver all straw quantities to the base of operations and aerially apply the mixture at the desired coverage rate of 1 ton per acre and a desired uniform depth of 1 inch. The objective of the straw mulching application, in conjunction with an immediately preceding aerial seeding application, is to provide a secure growing medium for the seed mixture of non-persistent barley and native seeds.
