Bear Canyon Road Decommissioning

The Bear Canyon Road Decommissioning project, solicited by the USDA Forest Service under solicitation number AG-02RC-S-12-0006, involves the decommissioning of approximately 8 to 10 miles of road located in Kooskia, Idaho. The scope of work includes a variety of treatments such as the removal of drainage structures, the creation of strong outslopes, and complete recontouring. Contractors are required to decompact roadways according to specific worklists, remove all fill material from draws, and restore stream channels to their natural dimensions and grades. To ensure stability and ecological recovery, grade control structures will be installed in reconstructed channels, all disturbed areas will be seeded, and native shrubs and forbs will be transplanted from adjacent areas. This project is designated as a HUBZone Set Aside under NAICS code 237990. Technical specifications for the decommissioning and drainage removal locations are detailed across project maps that provide specific site identifiers and geographic markers. The contract is managed by the Department of Agriculture's office in Coeur d Alene, Idaho, with Gordon L Fitzwater serving as the primary contract technical point of contact.
