- Description
- The Bighorn National Forest is seeking interested contractors for an Integrated Resource Stewardship Contract in accordance with Section 323 of Public Law 108-7 as revised. This project is being advertised as a full and open competition. This acquisition has been tailored to fit the Government's method of trading goods for services. It will entail both a timbersale for the sale of approximately 2,352 CCF of Lodgepole Pine & other conifer saw timber (trees) with 410 CCF of Lodgepole Pine & other conifer non-saw timber for exchange of service work for 272 acres of fuels treatment with 1.6 miles of road re-construction. The project area is located on the Medicine Wheel Ranger District of the Bighorn National Forest. The overall goal is to reduce hazardous fuels while attaining a healthy, vigorous forested stand through the commercial use of timber, felling, skidding, yarding, decking, piling, masticating, or removing designated trees from Forest Service land, and related activities. The order of preference by species for leave trees is 1) lodgepole pine, 2) Engelmann spruce, 3) limber pine, 4) Douglas-fir, and 5) subalpine fir. Leave an average stocking density of 194 trees per acre. Use of stewardship authority would assist in the removal, lop and scatter, or piling of non-merchantable sized materials within the designated areas and with the non/pre- commercial thinning of designated units to improve growth and vigor within these respective stands. Additional site preparation for reforestation through scarification efforts is also proposed for this project. All of these actions will reduce the risks of insect and pathogen infestations, reduce hazardous fuels arrangements and continuity, and provide a sustainable supply of commercial timber for the current entry and for the future. Bonding is not required for this project. The Construction portion of this contract is estimated at below $10,000.00. The use of bio-based products is anticipated in the performance of the contract. Information on Bio-based products can be found at: http://sftool.gov/green-products/8/miscellaneous Neither a prequote tour/meeting nor site visit is anticipated for this project. It is the contractor's responsibility to familiarize themselves with the normal terrain. You may Google: Bighorn National Forest - for information on roads, terrain, and other pertinent information. All questions must be submitted in writing to: Brenda Anderson, USDA Forest Service, Northern Tier RMAST, 1019 N Fifth St, Custer SD 57730-8214, Fax to (605) 673-9350, or via email to bjanderson@fs.fed.us. Questions must be received by noon on July 6, 2016 in order to be considered, any questions received after this date may not be addressed. The solicitation will be posted by June 21, 2016.
