- Description
- The Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, tools, equipment, and incidental supplies necessary to perform Mechanical Site Preparation with Shredder/Grinder on the London Ranger District of the Daniel Boone National Forest in Laurel and Whitley Counties, Kentucky. Work will take place in pine plantations (15-30 years old) where the trees have been killed by the Southern Pine Beetle during the past four years. The pine trees in these stands are 20-70 feet tall. The stands also contain large numbers of hardwood trees 10-50 feet tall. The intent of the work is to create areas for the planting of pine seedlings by clearing the vegetation (pines, hardwoods, brush, etc.) from strips of land in the stands. The cleared vegetation needs to be removed or shredded/chipped down to ground level or below to provide suitable planting sites. A tracked excavator with a shredder/chipper head is the recommended type of equipment to be used in this work due to safety considerations when pushing down dead pine trees. A tracked vehicle is also recommended to reduce soil compaction and disturbance. Other types of equipment may be considered if they will meet the necessary performance and safety requirements. The Technical Contact for this project is Bill Wais at 606-864-4163. This project will be solicited using the Request for Quotation format with price and other factors considered. The contract amount is estimated between $25,000 and $100,000. This solicitation will be available both electronically and hard copy. If you do not have the capability or capacity to download all of the documents, you can request a hard copy of the solicitation by sending a fax request to 859-745-4710. Please specify the solicitation number and title on your request.
