FALL VIEWING OF PROPOSED RECOVERY PROJECTS - Umatilla National Forest

This contract pertains to reforestation and related recovery projects planned for fiscal year 2010 within the Umatilla National Forest. Due to anticipated snow conditions, the fall season is the sole opportunity for prospective bidders to physically visit and inspect the project sites. There will be no organized site tours or Forest Service personnel to accompany bidders, placing the responsibility on offerors to conduct their own on-the-ground assessments to fully understand the current conditions. Maps of the sites will be made available at the local District offices to assist with site evaluation. The project is managed by the USDA Forest Service, with the place of performance located in Pendleton, Oregon. Bidders with questions or concerns are directed to contact the individual listed in the attached documents. The solicitation was posted in late October 2009 under solicitation number Fall_Viewing_FY10_UMNF and carries the NAICS code 237990, indicating its alignment with construction and related services in natural resources. The emphasis on physical inspection underscores the importance of accurate site knowledge in preparing bids for these recovery projects.
