- Description
- Project Title: Helena National Forest - 2013 Forest Inventory Analysis (FIA) Grid Intensification Plot Re-measurement Description of Work: This requirement is comprised of FIA grid intensification plot re-measurement on the Helena and Lincoln Ranger Districts of the Helena National Forest. The successful party will conduct statistically sound vegetation sampling by full re-measurement of previously installed FIA grid intensification plots with which management determinations will be made. It includes photographing plots, collecting tree, vegetation composition, ground surface cover, and downed woody material data according to ‘Region 1 Grid Intensification Using CSE Protocols Field Procedures' (v1.3). The plots are on a grid of approximately 1 for every 1,250 acres. The project area may be accessed by Forest roads during the normal operating season. The Forest Service assumes no obligation to plow snow or do special maintenance to keep roads open. Individual plots are accessible by some combination of 2- or 4-wheel drive vehicle, horse, or foot travel. Some roads or trails may have been closed after the project maps were published. Maps of the sample locations are available from the Contracting Officer's Representative so that estimated walk-in distance can be calculated. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, supplies (except those designated as Government-Furnished), and incidentals to perform all work necessary on the areas specified. All aspects of the work program shall be performed in an organized, systematic manner to assure services will be performed over the entire unit. Location: Helena National Forest, Helena and Lincoln Ranger Districts. The project area includes the non-wilderness portion of the Blackfoot River drainage on the Lincoln Ranger District and the Northern portion of the Continental Divide area of the Helena Ranger District. Interested parties shall take reasonable steps to ascertain the nature and location of the project area and the work to be completed, as well as the general and local site conditions which can affect the work and cost of performance. Failure to take the actions described in this paragraph will not relieve the Contractor from the responsibility of properly estimating the difficulty and cost to successfully perform the work, or from successful completion of the work without additional expense to the Government. Additional Information: No pre-bid tour will be conducted. Interested parties with technical questions may contact Darwin Abbott, Helena National Forest, 406-495-3964. Price Range: Between $25,000 and $100,000. A Firm-Fixed Price contract is expected to result from this solicitation. The solicitation will be available on approximately 6 August 2013, and can be downloaded from this website at that time.
