F -- HAND THINNING & PILING

The contract pertains to a project involving hand thinning and hand piling over approximately 252 acres on the Kaiser Timber Sale area within the High Sierra Ranger District of the Sierra National Forest. Originally scheduled to begin around mid-July 2003, the solicitation for this work was planned for release in mid-April 2003 with a bid response deadline in early May 2003. The contract was managed by the Sierra National Forest under the Department of Agriculture, with administrative operations based out of Clovis, California. However, the project has been cancelled due to duplication, meaning that the work outlined in this contract request is apparently redundant with another existing project. The cancellation notice supersedes all prior solicitation activities and effectively halts the procurement process. The point of contact for any further inquiries is the Procurement Assistant, Roxie L Myers, who can be reached via email or phone at the Sierra National Forest office.
