Site Visit will be held 08 JUN 2023 at 1000 Pacific at the Barlow Ranger District Office, Dufur, OR. Please RSVP at, richard.lancaster@usda.gov or kevin.flores@usda.gov, no later than 02 JUNE 2023. This combined synopsis/solicitation is a requirement for a mandatory reduction in fuel loading on approximately 980 acres by piling activity created slash (451 acres) and mastication of live vegetative materials (529 acres). Depending on availability of funds, up to an additional 1,495 acres in optional work may be awarded. Piling would occur with a “lift and pile” mechanism rather than a “push and pile” mechanism. Work shall be performed on slopes up to 30 percent. The objective is to reduce the slash layer to a depth of 2 to 6 inches, and to eliminate vegetative competition of brush and small diameter saplings through mechanical mastication. Logs greater than 18 inches in diameter will be left in place. All slash, as defined in C.4, will be piled. Activity slash will be a result of hand thinning up to 12” DBH material, on a 20’x20’ spacing, cutting boles to 6’ lengths. The contractor shall furnish all equipment, fuel, maintenance, labor, supervision, transportation, materials, tools, supplies, and incidentals necessary to perform the job. See attachments for details and instructions.
