Project Description Harpers Ferry National Historical Park (HAFE) was established in 1944 to ¿be a public national memorial commemorating historical events at or near Harpers Ferry¿. Located at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, the park contains 3,645 acres of riparian habitats, floodplains, agricultural fields, geologic exposures, developed areas and upland forests. The forested areas routinely require tree felling, pruning and other landscape management services due to stresses from pests and climate change. The areas that generally require tree felling and pruning are along trails and places with high visitation, along with cultural resource features that require delicate care and along the park boundary where trees can threaten neighboring structures. There are 22 miles of trail that are connected to the Appalachian Trail system and encompass areas in three states: i.e. West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland. Due to stressors like the Emerald Ash Borer, Gypsy Moth, drought, climate change and others, numerous hardwood trees are dead in place and pose a risk to the safety of visitors and staff along the trails. The park has 50 miles of boundary that consists mainly of dense forest. Dead and dying trees pose a hazard to neighboring property owners. Vehicular access is restricted to the trail heads and access points only and parking along the trails is prohibited. The terrain in most areas is steep, rocky, undeveloped and often wet. Up to two miles of hiking may be required at some locations to perform work. The contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, materials, tools, supplies, transportation, barricades, signs, traffic control measures/coordination and equipment incidental to and necessary to execute safe full spectrum tree assessment operations and tagging in and around the work location areas. Task 1: Develop Tree Risk Assessment Criteria for all areas. Task 2: Perform Tree Risk Assessment utilizing the criteria developed in Task 1 for all areas identified.
