Description

GENERAL INFORMATION: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) - Contracting and General Services (CGS) Region 1, located at 911 NE 11th Avenue; Portland, OR 97232, is issuing a Presolicitation Notice for Thinning and Chipping of Ponderosa Pine Trees (Approximately 80 Acres) for Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) - Cheney, WA. THE WORK CONSISTS OF: - The project area is due for forestry restoration work that requires the removal of ponderosa pine trees. Sensitive soil conditions, rocky terrain and distances between targeted areas for treatment will necessitate the need for specialized equipment. No other species will be cut as part of this contract. Contractor shall utilize sawyers and a rubber tracked, remote controlled, self-propelled chipper (with operator) for thinning and chipping operations. - Contractor shall only thin ponderosa pine trees with stems greater than 3/4 inches around to stems no greater than 6 inches diameter at breast height (DBH). Chips shall be dispersed form a chipper in a manner than limits ground accumulation and concentration to less than 1-inch in depth. Thinning and chipping, instead of piling will negate the need to later dispose of piles by burning them - During fire season (July thru October), contractor may be required to turnoff chainsaws and other machinery for either a limited or full duration of a day. Requirement will be dependent upon the fire danger for that given day. a. When the fire danger level reaches High and relative humidity falls below 25%, all chainsaws shall be shutdown at 1:00 PM (local time). After the shutdown, the contractor shall perform a one-hour fire watch. b. When the fire danger level reaches Very High or Extreme, power saw operations will not be allowed in the unit.
