AI Contract Overview
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Florida Forest Service, is soliciting sealed bids for the Cow Creek Road Salvage Timber Sale C, covering approximately 303 acres within the Black Prong and Cow Creek Tracts of Goethe State Forest in Levy County, Florida, an area severely impacted by the Cow Creek Wildfire. The sale is divided into a primary harvest area of 138 acres open for immediate removal and a contingency area of 165 acres subject to ongoing monitoring to determine if additional harvesting is warranted. All harvest operations must commence within ten calendar days of contract execution and are to be completed within a twelve-month term. Timber to be removed includes salvage pine pulpwood, chip-n-saw, sawtimber, and fuelwood, with no guaranteed volume estimate provided. Bidders must adhere to strict environmental protections, including avoidance of designated waterbodies and red-cockaded woodpecker clusters, which will be clearly marked by the Forester-in-Charge during a mandatory pre-harvest site review. The buyer is not required to harvest non-merchantable, undersized, or economically unviable timber as determined by the Forester-in-Charge. Multiple bids submitted by the same party for concurrent salvage sales—Cow Creek Road Salvage Sale A, B, and C—are subject to a forfeit clause, requiring the bidder to accept only one sale unless they can demonstrate sufficient equipment capacity to handle all awarded sales simultaneously. Bids must be submitted as sealed physical documents to the specified Gainesville location by May 14, 2026, at 11:00 AM EDT, with no electronic submission permitted. The Florida Forest Service retains complete discretion to reject any or all bids and to waive minor irregularities. Payment terms, invoicing methods, and accounting codes are not outlined, and the contract type is inferred to be firm-fixed-price based on the sealed bid process and lack of negotiated pricing. The primary point of contact for bid information is Kari Hurst, with oversight responsibilities vested in the Forester-in-Charge, Stephen Montgomery.
